On a very warm night at Newcastle Eagles, six of us spent a stress-busting hour pulling up some very prickly weeds.

We were helping out at the arena where this weekend they are preparing to have their first event with fans in over a year. The car park gardens are maintained by the community foundation and its a long-time regular task of ours that we love to do.

This week's focus was an area of wild flowers that needed lots of attention and we loved catching up while pulling up lots of prickly things. It is the best squat workout you can imagine and we could really see the difference. We are back next week for one last visit before the return of group runs.
