Three Goodgymers helped out at Luton Wardown parkrun this week, contributing a full 50% of the set up crew (if we don't count our canine conmpanion). On a frosty morning some of us dressed for the conditions and one of us very much did not...

All done with super efficiency, setting the scene for a great run by over 270 parkrunners. Back again next month!

A GoodGym super team of 6 gave up their time to litter pick on this sunny sunday morning. Joining forces with the ‘Friends of Dallow Downs and Winsdon Hill’ community group, we worked together for an hour and a half to clear the area of as much rubbish as we could bag up. Unusual finds this morning included an abandoned fridge freezer full of murky swamp water, a huge flatscreen tv, parts of a bed and many of the usual. Beer cans, drinks bottles, plastic and remnants of food packaging. Clearing this litter away will make a huge difference to the local park users and wildlife. Great work, team!!!

A sudden temperature drop left us with a very cold evening for a group run this week. A hardy bunch of keen GoodGymers gathered ready to get moving and keep warm.

We didn't hang about getting our much needed warm-up started, welcoming three newbies Yelma, Nuriya and Alem who had all chosen the coldest day to try out Goodgym for the first time!

Our task this evening waited around 2km away at the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden. The whole place is looking very neat and tidy these days but there was a wildflower plot and a patch of bramble that needed cutting down to ground level and raking up into piles. Warm from our run there, we got stuck into the task to keep the energy flowing. With ten of us on the task we made quick work of clearing both areas and got a quick group photo before running off again through the cold night and keeping warm with our leg work!
