14 sun drenched but frosty toed newbie GoodGymers ran 3k to help the Mabley Green user group by moving 1.5 tons of mulch to feed baby trees.

On a beautifully bright but awfully cold Sunday morning we had the second of Team Hackney's special January starter sessions!! Starting from an active Film set in the Hackney Marshes Centre we all pulled our best ** Blue Steal** as the cameras rolled by! A huge thank you to Goodgym heroes Patrick and Eva for the leading the crew 1.5k to Mabley Green where we picked up the tools and got stuck right into the task! Pairing up we filled robust Swedish furniture brand bags with Mulch then ran them to the various fruit trees and plants that are in need of the hardy goodness! Tipping out the Mulch we raked it into position for added strategic effect and maintained a serious pace for 45 minutes of top shovelling and shifting work until the Mulch pile had gone!

After the job was done we loaded the tools back at the community centre and ran 1.5k to the Hackney Marshes Centre.

A few static stretches and a big round of applause rounded off a great starter session!

Would love to see you all again at a Weekday Goodgym Group run!! Tower Hamlets and Islington-Mondays Hackney- Tuesday's Camden, Newham or Westminster on Wednesday's.

Check out the website for all the sessions and sign up!
