10 brilliant GoodGymers ran 5k to the Oasis Community Garden to water and sweep our way to community gardening glory.

A last minute change of task this week!! With our patterned paint colour range not available at Rhythms of Life we had to think on our feet and visit the Oasis Community Garden for one last time this year before the garden is put to bed for the Winter.

A strong 3.5k run to get us going up to the outskirts of Regent’s Park then back down into the buzz of Tottenham Court Road. Where we got stuck straight into the final watering and clear up task of 2018 in the Oasis Community Garden.

With the weather so dry the garden was very pleased to see us and the flowers, herbs, vegetables and plants were certainly very thirsty!!

Getting a solid rhythm of watering pouring out 75 watering cans in 30 productive minutes!

Getting the garden tidy was our other goal and with a range of brushes we swept and cleared all the leafs, debris away so the garden was looking beautiful!

With a little time in hand we ran over to Bedford square and smashed 20 minutes of leg sapping lower body strength developing circuits!! Done seriously strong performances on show, top work!!!

A shorter but very windy 1.5k run back to base rounded off a top session!!

See you next week when we will be heading g over to St Andrews Youth Club to help them out!

Smooth Running
