Six Leeds Good Gym friends ran to our fantastic neighbourhood community/arts centre, Left Bank, this week. We took to the dark streets for a short run making good use of our headtorches across the park. Once at Left Bank we were issued with two sacks of crocus and daffodil bulbs and a bunch of repurposed wooden spoons. Torches on again and into the garden we went. A good hour of planting these bulbs was rewarded with a free drink and a chin wag. We particularly enjoyed Paul's tale of his student toga party and the inevitable consequences of Scouse mischief!

Four Good Gym stalwarts ran through sunny trails on a Wednesday evening to help Youth Movement Against Violence develop their memorial garden. It was sad to hear their progress had been slowed following thefts and vandalism. This only spurred us on and we flexed our muscles and began our World's Strongest Women masterclass. We shovelled, shifted, and dragged heavy loads of hard-core to fill giant planters. Nothing could stop us! And we still managed to run a beautiful cross country route home.

This week we went back to Kirkstall Valley Farm.

We had 3 seperate areas to tend to, so split into pairs

Katie and Nik got to work planting broccoli, whilst Helen and Shannen began by clearing weeds around the broccoli, and Tom and Rob cleared up some weeds further along the plot, around the kale.

We worked away, with the speed of 100 scouts (not just 7!) - Goodgym knows how to get the job done! We admired our work, before promptly starting to cover it again.

Tom and I got talking about Endure24, and about how good it would be to enter a team from GG Leeds... anyone interested? https://www.endure24.co.uk/events/leeds/entry/

Well done everyone - 6km run and lots of work done! We headed to The Golden Beam for a catch-up before parting ways.
