Herb your enthusiasm

Leicester Report written by Sarah

4 keen Goodgymmers met at Braunstone Community Primary school. Today's task was to clear the brambles in their allotments to create a safe and enjoyable space for them to learn about growing produce.

Everyone got stuck in as always and lots of running chat as always with Gareth (AKA Bod) completing the LAP, the 45 mile ultra in the Lake District, amazing achievement. Also Stu being a little disgumbled about someone beating him in his age category in a non-race Parkrun, poor Stu, he's usually the V70 champion at every Parkrun he does, an inspiration to our community.

After some digging, trimming and many wheelbarrow loads later the overgrown area was looking far better, we could see the ground! Strength work deffinatly complete after that, I couldn't even lift one of the roots Stu dug up, it was monstrous!

We were treated to hot drinks and cake today, very much to Stu's delight when anyone mentions cake, he was still on about the amazing lemon sponge Dawn made last week, putting it on his wish list. Weldone all fab efforts, we'll be visiting again soon.

Stuck in the mud

Leicester Report written by Sarah

6 super strong GoodGymmers came to get stuck in at Braunstone Community Primary School to help create an allotment of dreams.

The teachers plan to use the fantastic space they have to grow their own fruits and vegetables. The school have raised money to buy the polytunnel, which already had some hopeful seedlings planted by the children. They are even hoping to have a stall on the local market to raise funds for charity.

Fantastic turnout today, shout out to Gareth our newest member came back for his second helping of GoodGym.

This was a brand new task for us to work with after our friends at B-inspired Foodbank down the road from the school conveniently recommended us.

Everyone got stuck in moving tables out of the overgrowth and then clearing out all the weeds and brambles. Lots of tree identification going on with a cherry tree, Hazel and gooseberry bush to work around.

Fantastic work team, when GoodGymmers get on board more hands always make for a lighter load, same again next week.

Good pick for all of us

Leicester Report written by Sarah

Who knew that Sainsbury's slogan is now 'Good food for all of us'?

5 Goodgymmers took part in the Food Bank Run, a movement created by Hampshire based running club, Fareham Running Club, encouraging every group to create their own Food Bank Run. With backpacks filled we carried our donations to our local Foodbank donation site in Sainsbury's.

Nick had suggested bringing the litter pickers too which was a great idea, there's always plenty of litter on this route with fast-food outlets galore and tin can alley. 2 full bags of rubbish on our travels.

Shout out to Gareth on his first GoodGym Good deed and first completely new member of the year. Great to meet you and chat about your trail running adventures, hopefully see you again.

Lovely to see Lynn and hear about her first Run Director role at Junior parkrun, enjoy your parkrun tourism tomorrow along with Mel and Stu. Great morning walk with a purpose and lovely sociable walk in the sunshine.

Weldone all coming along and giving so much enthusiasm to the task.
