๐ฅถ 20 'dedicated GoodGymmers braved chilly temperatures for this week's group run. After naming our favourite drinks (single malt whisky anyone ๐ฅ Or maybe just the classic water ๐ฅค), we did a much-needed warm up and set off ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
๐ณWe were back at West Bank Park tonight, tackling the infamous mud mountain and spreading bark-chip onto the footpaths. It was quite the workout, so much so that we kept going and used it as an alternative upper body workout for our fitness session ๐ช
โ๏ธWe split into teams with a variety of tools distributed between them. We used our best raking, shovelling and mattock-ing skills to spread said bark-chip from the piles it had been "dumped" in across the path. There was some great teamwork displayed and some impressive wheelbarrow relaying ๐
๐ฑ Meanwhile, another team were tackling the mud mountain, including the rogue compost waste that had snuck on there and was creating quite the unpleasant odour (to say the least) ๐ท๐
โณAs the time went on, the gaps between bark-chip mounds reduced and the chip was spread more evenly across the path. With a few minutes to go, there was a brilliant team effort to fill the last gap and smooth everything over. Great work everyone๐
๐After that effort, it was time to head back to base for some cool-down stretches and a trip to the pub ๐ป
๐Thanks everyone for a cracking effort, see you again soon ๐
