Painting - Can You Dig It? - Yes We Can!

Tonight it was fabulous to set off on our run in daylight - what a difference it makes, with the thought of lots of summer evenings on the way.

We welcomed 2 runners joining us for the first time Lizzie and Leanne - hope you enjoyed your first taste of Goodgym.

Our destination was just a short run ( via Alexandra Park, which we may use more often in the lighter evenings) to meet up with Tom from Incredible Edible a community group dedicated to improving healthy eating, local community and working together to grow vegetables in unused areas around Ipswich.

We had a double task - to help with some painting inside what will become a community vegan cafe which is located directly opposite a small plot of land used by Incredible Edible to grow vegetables.

So we split into two groups - gardeners & painters and everyone got stuck into their allocated tasks.

The gardeners made a huge difference to the plot of land - digging, clearing and weeding the various beds and Steve harvested a small crop of potatoes.

The painters had a bigger task on their hands. What seemed a fairly small two roomed area seemed to grow the more they painted. The kitchen area was almost completed, but the dining area beat us despite our best efforts within our allocated time.

Our return run ended with a short but intense set of speed intervals under the waterfront. Great work by everyone!

Next week is Bank Holiday Monday and Goodgym will still be running - see the details HERE
