6 Green fingered GoodGymers ran 5k to The Oasis GreenGym Community Garden to water and tidy sone very thirsty fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.

A last minute change of task this week as the Kin ball challenge match with St Andrews youth Club would have been a bit one sided! So we have rescheduled until next week!! Please come along, it will be a lot of fun!!

Heading out on a round about route to the Oasis Community Garden for our first visit of the year. With 2.5k in the bag we arrived in the Oasis leisure centre and crept out the back to the volunteer run community garden.

The garden looks very well planted this year with so many varieties of fruit, veg and hens to go along with some decorative flowers!

But the beds looked like the desert so needed a camel load of water to keep that growing going!! Focusing on 1 big bed at a time we gave the flowers all the water they could handle so that everything can flourish and the food donations to the local community is plentiful this year!

30 minutes of filling and pouring with a little sweeping up for an added extra did the job!

We set off with a little time for a strong all body circuit, so we found a spot in Bedford Square where we attacked a mountain of full body exercises with running as a recovery. CV, lower body strength, plyometrics and some core moves finished 12 minutes of fitness action!

With the hard work done we jogged back to base, stretched out and headed home with a strong evenings activity complete!

See you next week! Hope that a few people fancy doing the GoodGym Olympics on June 30th!!

Smooth Running
