☀️ 26 epic GoodGymmers gathered for a sunny Monday evening group run. After an impressive weekend of running at Swaledale and other marathons, there was lots to celebrate. And lots to plan, including a rounders social so tell us your availability here 📅

🏋️ We warmed up whilst saying our favourite fitness activity alongside naming and numbering off (additional suggestions are always welcome) then set off for Greenfields Garden 🏃‍♀️🏃

💪 Louise wasn't quite ready for us so while we tried to track down her phone number, Egg led an impromptu plank/push up fitness 💨

🌺 With our cores properly warmed up and Louise arrived, we received a quick introduction to the garden and its many community uses. We split into five groups of five and quickly got to work. There were Dalek bins to be filled, compost heaps to be rationalised, paths to be hoed, beds to be weeded, new plants to be watered and (possibly best of all) strawberries to be picked 🍓

👍 There was plenty to be done so we were kept busy until the clock said it was time for a group photo and fitness round 2. This was a musical one, to the Ghostbusters theme, involving lunges and burpees 👻

😇 And that was that, it was time to head back to CVS. Except that wasn't actually that because GoodGym York can't possibly pass up an opportunity to do a bit more good. So some of us picked up the many, many tourist leaflets that were inexplicably scattered around the bus stops and gave them in bundles to Mitch to recycle them for us, very kindly (thanks Mitch!) ♻️

🦉 And just in case anyone was interested, I saw an owl on my way home, which was a lovely way to round off a lovely evening 🌠

(Apologies for the pun, rationalising was a tricky one 🤔)
