11 of us with no substitutes took to the field as we headed over to Tunstall Nursery to help them tidy up the playground and surrounding areas. We had a few sweepers, planters, and lifters on the field today.

Congratulations Ellie on completing her 50th good deed over the weekend despite being injured she was out tonight for her 51st.|

We arrived at the nursery where we were met by Jane who was surprised by the number of us who had turned up . From her exclamation you could tell she was not expecting that many of us. We followed her to the back where she explained what she would like us to do.

Formation

  • Andy and Karim dug a hole and replanted a plant.
  • Juliet, Helen, Ros, Stanka and Kate swept up the leaves that had fallen from the tree creating little mounts and alternated between clearing and sweeping.
  • Over in the creepy crawlies corner Elie, Nicola and Ingrid where busy clearing it of all the rubbish that had accumulated and was no longer of use.

Having completed all the tasks that were assigned to us we bid our farewell and headed out the gate, with time to spare the group had a chance to do a circuit around Tunstall Road, Herron Road, Addiscombe Court Road and back up Tunstall Road where I was with the stop watch shouting out their times. This circuit will be a Strava segment by our next visit in November, let the games begin!

Quite a few bits ticked off, we headed back to solutions where we continued our fitness session with a few sprints. Back at solution we did a few body weight exercises before our cool down stretches and said our good byes.

They sure did work up an appetite today, time to start planning next week's fitness session!!

All eyes were on our friends over in York, as they hosted The Amazing York Pasta Party, in preparation for the Yorkshire marathon and 10 miles race. There was a huge GoodGym presence there to support **Sean Coxhead of GG York, read his story.

Searching for your next race adventure with GoodGym, check out the upcoming events even if you are not interested in running, there is always a cheer squad and you are more than welcome to go along and spread the good cheer.
