11 super hot Goodgymers ran 9k to North Melbourne library

On a scorching hot Wednesday we welcomed Angela from the soon to be launching Goodgym Colchester to help us on the task. After a brief warm up in the park we headed off on the epic journey across town.

feeling Blue On arrival we set out the task of clearing the garden and painting the trellis where we found out the paint was blue! we also discovered that the trellis was very difficult to paint, but set to work to make is as blue as we could.

30 minute make over The rest of the team set to work clearing the garden of weeds and laying a membrane, which we covered with gravel. we even had time to fill the planters with compost.

Park life Even though the painting was troublesome the run was no problem. We split into two teams and Angela led some of the group for an extra mile or so, and threw in some race efforts for good measure. The rest of us took a slightly shorter route back to base, running through admirals park and back via central park.

it's all down stream from here Next weeks run is down the riverside path to Springfield Park Baptist Church for a garden clearance, sign up here!

See you all next week!
