Two goodGymers helped out at Fulbourn Hospital Park Run today. We had a lovely morning for it, with the rain staying away and a bit of blue sky too. Well done to Caroline for doing such a great marshalling and cheering runners along. I was the volunteer coordinator for this week, so really appreciated Caroline's support. 153 brilliant runners and walkers made their valiant way around the 4-lap course.

Looking forward to the next one!

We took in all the sights on our group run this evening!

4 GoodGymers met for a friendly social run around the city, taking advantage of the quieter streets during the summer break. We started by the river, headed along The Backs, pausing for a picture with the famous King's College Chapel, and came back into town past the Mathematical Bridge. Never missing an opportunity, we even put up a few posters to spread the GoodGym word.

Good run, good sights and good company. GoodGym all round 🙌

The weather did not deter the amazing runners and walkers at Storeys Field parkrun this morning 💪

GoodGymers supported by marshaling and handing out finish tokens. We may have got soaked, but we were still smiling ☔

Another wonderful evening spent with Caroline and Harriet at Fox Den Community Allotment, supporting Abbey People.

As well as giving everything a good water and thinning the positively thriving tomato plants, our main job was harvesting. We collected a bounty of beans and beetroot! There were actually four types of bean, including pink broad beans, which we'd not seen before - beautiful and delicious. 🫛 Special note to the perfect teeny tiny tomato.🍅

We look forward to returning soon!

It was smiles all round at Milton Country parkrun this morning.

Brilliant to welcome Caroline for her first GoodGym community mission 🙌

I was cheering on the amazing runners and walkers battling the heat, and Caroline was on token sorting duty, having completed her run - very impressive! A treat to use the bespoke token holders, 3D printed especially for Milton parkrun.

What a scorcher for our first visit to Fox Den Community Allotment! 🦊

We were met by the brilliant Lorna, who showed us round the beautiful space and shared the history of the allotment - once home to a family of foxes. Lorna and volunteers from Abbey People have transformed the area to grow a huge variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs for the local community and Abbey Food Hub.

It was brilliant to welcome Philip for his first GoodGym mission. 💪

We set to work building frames for the broccoli, thinning the bumper crop of tomatoes, and giving everything a much needed water. Never missing an opportunity, carrying the double watering cans worked well for some weighted squats. We had the added bonus of meeting some chickens and were able to harvest some produce to take home - Phil becoming Fox Den's fist broccoli man. 🥦

The allotment is a calm haven in the city and we can't wait to visit again!
