This week 9 awesome GoodGym-ers ran 5km to help the local area
Our planned task didn't pan out, so instead we ran to Dave's to collect some bin bags, gloves and leftover flyers and did an impromptu double task: flyering for the refugee centre and plogging through Lordship Rec (litter picking x jogging).
We split into two teams and hit up four or five roads between Downhill Park and Lordship Rec, steering clear of barking dogs protecting letterboxes and the gates that need an engineering degree or a password to get through
Once the flyers were all gone, we headed to the park and filled three black bin bags of rubbish found stashed amongst the bushes
The dead bird was left in its resting place to feed the earth and worms
We then all regrouped atop the hill to finish up with some hill sprints: gently down and up with pace, focusing on using our arm drive to power us up the hill
After three strong rounds, it was time to head back to base for stretches and high fives
