19 Hackney GoodGymers ran 7.5k to Stamford Hill Estate Community garden to plant bulbs, seeds and did our 2 tough shrubs!
Thanks for coming along to a fun night of running in Hackney!! Great to have some new faces to the team for the evenings physicality!
Lots of news this week!!

The 18th of November seeding a big GG contingent volunteering at the Fulham 10k. If you fancy cheers along to help the runners out as well as picking up a race discount and Adidas Top all the details are here.
Eva is organising a great community mission on the 24th at St Joseph’s Hospice clearing away the fundraising jumble sale. Details here.
So getting underway with a solid 3.5k run at a flowing pace to the North of the borough to find Zoe who was looking after us for the evening. Grabbing all the tools, seeds, bulbs we could we broke off into mini groups to make the GG magic happen!!
The bulb and seed planters were on great form sewing great lines of seeds and with an amazing digging contraption the daffodil bulbs flew into the ground in no time!
However the there was a battle being waged on 2 of the most stubborn shrubs in all of Hackney!! Digging down, spear fishing type moves, the old fashioned physically persuasive grabbing and pulling managed to remove both shrubs in the nick of time.
With some newly dug holes found a great more appropriate home to allow the flower beds to be planted up ready for Spring.
With a bounce in our step we headed back to base with a great session complete!!
Hope to see you all next week when we visit Abney Park!!
Smooth Running
