A BIG GG SHF welcome to a new runner this week, give her a whoop, hola, cheer and follow:

Kathryn

Welcome Kathryn, hope you enjoyed your first session and that we see you back on another run soon!

It was also great to see Kat back on a run after having her first child, she was looking fantastic and it was great to hear of her plans to slowly get back into the habit of running. Amazing to hear!

This weeks task had us back at Heeley People's Park to visit our good friend Parky Rob to help with turning/fluffing the wood chip on and around the playground areas to ensure it remains soft and fluffy for any playground users to land on.

Fork me it was tough work, you can tell why gardeners are always in great shape! Some very specific movements involved on this task and great to have a task that keeps us warm on the increasingly colder evenings!

With all three playground areas turned and fluffed to perfection we admired our work under the GG spotlights and made our way home for the evening.

Until next time, happy running! :)
