This Wednesday saw Team GG assemble at Leisure World Colchester ahead of an evening of doing good and feeling great. In keeping with every week, we all caught up with each other and eventually all quietened down to hear what we were up to this week. Our mission should we have chosen to accept it was to help Colchester in Bloom. We chose to accept it obvs. We warmed up at Leisure World and called our names and numbers out. We started our run up through the Castle grounds and headed to get our gear for the de-weeding. We selected our tools and went to help maintain Colchester In Bloom’s turf. With Colchester’s long-standing reputation as the Garden of Britain it’s not an easy job, so we are always happy to help. Ian, the world’s most diligent back marker had gardening gloves for those without (myself as always). We loaded up 3 bags of plant-based waste and an additional bag of man-made litter, what a haul! We returned our tools and headed back down through the castle to a backdrop of pink and gold skies. The park was now empty and the air was cool, what a pleasurable run. With minutes before the park closed, we set out to do a 75% pace lap around the lower grounds. We completed it mate. So, there it is, just another wonderful Wednesday on Planet Earth. Perhaps you’re reading this and are thinking of coming along. You’re always welcome, I’ve been going for 6 months and can’t get enough of it! Yours in GoodGym Dan
