5 Runners ran 3k to help keep the Children's Garden in good shape.

4 of us met up at Blue House Yard and found we were split into 2 groups. Team 5k Helen and Yann vrs team Ultra Dave and Duncan. Duncan having recently done a proper cross country one!

After some quick dynamic warm ups we then wove our way through the Russell Park and Belmont Rec over to Lordship, where we finished with a single hill sprint. Focusing on Heads, -shoulders,- knees, and toes. Straight spine, high knees, and looking 3 steps ahead.

Once we got to Harmony Gardens, we split into 3 teams. Weeding, Mulching, and the local kids and honorary GoodGymers were on fruit clean up duty.

When I was last in the garden, there was loads of tadpoles in the pond. I was really pleased to see the pond hadn't dried out in the drought, and we managed to find loads of tiny frogs hiding round the edge. He even coaxed one into sitting on his fingernail!

Despite the wildlife breaks, we still managed to smash out all the weeding and remulch the paths, and squeezed in a quick driving elbows drill to improve running efficiency.
