Tonight we welcomed Raf to GoodGym for the first time.
Raf and Jonny joined Josie for a great task at the JQ cemetery. The task was to use the giant green plastic hands to scoop up a load of leafs, then filling some huge sacks and putting them into compost.
The 3 of us managed to do 3 pillars in the time, as you can see from the before and after pictures. We'll be back next month to finish off :)
We had both runners and walkers at tonight's task with Jonny having ran about 7k from home and Raf getting her walking steps in.
This is a fantastic task, please do come to the next session at the JQ cemetery in a few weeks.

On Tuesday night James and Jonny helped out at Lillian de Lissa Nursery School.
We were joined by task owner Laura who explained the task was to remove months and months of leaves from the paths around the nursery.
We got to work, filling at least 12 wheel barrows full of leaves, emptying each one into the skip.
Laura was so pleased and sent us the before and after pictures, so you can see for yourself what a fantastic job we did :)

Tonight we were down on the canal for a litter pick, so armed with our litter pickers we ran to the canal before filling a bag full of litter. We then had a pleasant walk in what was somewhat mild temperatures compared to last week up to Aston Lock were we dropped off the bags.
After that we headed to Millenium Point to do some intervals. We haven't done these for a long time so it was good to get back to some old GG ways!
The session was 30 secs/45/1min/1min/ 45/ 30 secs, all off 45 secs rest. James and Morwenna certainly blew the 'interval cobwebs' away with the session!
Once done it was a steady run back to 1000 Trades, for a nice 6k in total :)

This evening we gave the task a miss due to the cold weather and had a steady walk and run around the Jewellery Quarter. Watching out for the ice and slippy spots, we headed out for a 5km run and ending back at 1000 Trades for a cool down and warm up inside!

Tonight on a previously forecast dry evening we were greeted with great weather for ducks!
We welcomed Hugh for the first time who as you can see put a shift in on our litter pick. We even found a brush on our rounds.
After a good litter pick Morwenna and Jonny did a 4k run and it even stopped raining for us! Hooray!

Great mission to help support the JQ Festival team, including supporting with looking after the brilliant JQ Themed mini-golf and handing out guides.
