Soil Train

4 amazing humans joined forces on a Saturday morning to run 5.6km each way to help out a new great organisation. Have a look at their website and get involved with them if you can.

We were greeted by Adele upon our arrival, who had used GoodGym previously when she lived in London, but it was the first time meeting us after trying to find the right time and task to get us involved. It's a bit far for our weekly group run so we decided to make a Community Mission out of it. Our first ever Community Mission in Bournemouth.

We were tasked with filling a planter with soil to be able to plant an acer bush. After trying a few methods to see what was the most efficient we found our groove. From shoveling into wheelbarrows then pushing those up a plant and some steps to then shoveling the soil in the planter to just squat lifting the wheelbarrow and just emptying it in the planter! No nonsense, just pure power!

After finishing with the planter we even had time to clear up some paints and pots, move a bit of furniture around and have a chat about how we could help out in the future. I'm sure we'll get something organised again.

Well done, Millie on running your first 10k! excellent effort mixed in with an hour of shoveling and squatting. Lovely to have Laura back after she'd been using her school holiday time to do some exploring for the last few weeks. And Neil I hope you found our weather a nice change from your holiday of scorching heat!

See you all Wednesday for some GoodGym Bournemouth Birthday celebrations. Would be great to see as many of you as possible, even if you're injured or haven't been for a while. Come and say hi and hang out!

Have a great weekend!
