I obviously don't have favourites , every GoodGymer is as valuable as the next, but I was SO delighted to welcome OG Kate back to a group run last night. Kate has been at GoodGym from the very first session but like many had a long Covid-related break from activity with us so it was amazing to have her tremendous energy back.

A few late arrivals (including my own) last night meant we set off for the task a little later than planned but with Kate, Paul and Andy running ahead, the task got started before the walkers arrived- phew! Task owner and GoodGymer Neil was as brilliantly organised as ever and had a big green patch ready for our attention.

Our job last night sounded simple- work together using forks and spades to weed a big green patch of the community gardens. Note I said SOUNDED simple, and it was anything but. Trying to strip the cover of tiny green weeds was definitely harder than it looked, but working together we managed to get a section done that filled a few bags up before we started to tidy up. I have to give some kudos to Andrew here who did the bulk of the bagging and lifting to give himself a proper workout.

You can really see the difference we made in the photos- but we are back in two weeks time to keep going if you fancy coming and getting stuck in with us.
