9 Westminster GoodGymers ran 9k to Ark Atwood Primary School to help get the memorial rooftop garden ready for the grand opening next Tuesday.
The longest run we do but in gorgeous sunshine and with a good stretch along the canal it was great to get the legs turning over on such an enjoyable run.
Meeting Patti who is the driving force behind this amazing memorial roof garden for a pupil of the school that passed away far too soon.
After all our incredible efforts moving 2 tonnes on stones from the roof to allow the garden to happen we had lighter tasks this week.
Shifting 150 planks of wood into secret locations to tidy the area up for the opening ceremony and to allow space for the planters to be constructed on Saturday.
We then went around the front of the school to weed and sweep up the little garden to get it looking at it's best while on show.
Some pictures in the new sun trap of a roof garden and we were complete. Dancing off up the canal and back to base at a rhythmical run upping the pace at the end!
Thanks for coming along and hope to see you next week for a shorter run but a lot of fun at St Andrews Youth Club.
