This week it is the third in the run for the GoodGym January Challenge! From the 1st to the 31st of January, across the country, we are going to walk, run and cycle to complete as many good deeds as we can.

Yesterday however it was an hard core call for Brighton GoodGym-ers to convince ourselves to get out for a run, but we did it! New GoodGym-er Amaryllis returned to run with us, so we did something right :-) We helped OffTheFence and joined effort with the B&H TidyUP Team to collect Christmas Tree that have been fly tipped and left on the pavements of our city streets.

We think community only works if everyone is included. So Off The Fence do! Somehow we believe that we contributed to OffTheFence fundraising mission to recycle Christmas trees into cash for the homeless. Certainly, we helped to clear our city streets by those xmas trees and fly tipped green waste that can be now responsibly delivered to the B&H recycling waste centres.

We found a few of those trees on our route and moved them to the designed collections points for xmas trees that are still open to the public until 22nd of January! And, we kept up with moving and GoodGym fitness action to avoid freezing!

This week, there are a few more training sessions to keep ourselves active during this cold but dry winter week of January. Plenty of opportunities to have some social runs together!

What next? Tuesday next week we are returning to the Brighton Workshop & Tool Library. Sigh up HERE to come along!
