Tonight we welcomed Nan to GoodGym for the first time.

We were at Nelson Mandela School for some gardening. Emily ran the 4k to the school with Jonny on the bike, Miriam ran around 10k from Northfield to the task, Martin and Nan came on foot to the session.

The task was a big tidy up of the school garden. After just a few minutes of gardening we saw one of those 'rats the size of cats' (infamous last year in Brum!!) It certainly was a porker, as it scuttled off under the undergrowth!

You'll see from the pictures the big pile of gardening waste we moved whilst also getting rid of some weeds.

Once done Jonny rode back with Emily, who did a nice 8k in total, Miriam deservedly got the train and Martin and Nan put in a great effort with the task before heading back.

Tonight we were back with the running club in Sutton Park, after a short break, followed by a new GG task at Our Place Support.

Tonight's interval session was 8 x 1 minute efforts off, 1 minute rest, followed by a 3 minute break, then another 8 x 1 minute efforts! It certainly was a tough one, but it was great to see everyone working well together.

Once done we headed to Our Place Support, where we were greeted by Danielle and our task was to weed the garden used by visitors to the charity who enjoy the quiet space.

We managed to weed a good half of the garden in 30 minutes or so, great job. Danielle was very appreciative of our efforts, commenting on how much better it looked. We''ll be back next month to finish the job :)
