Last night saw a wonderful turnout of incredible GoodGymers - new and familiar (not old!) to help the High Lane Residents Association to clear a plot of land on the Middlewood Way.

The HLRA are planning to plant a beautiful display of sunflowers on the previously overgrown and bramble covered area.

We took a 2.5 km scenic but uphill run to meet David and his HLRA colleague at the location, before setting to work with some serious digging and wheelbarrowing.

Within no time, the area was bramble free and we were all ready for an easy downhill return.

This week, our task was to support the dedicated folk at the Stockport Community Post to deliver newspapers to the local area.

Equipped with sacks and bags of motivation, we set off laden with good news!

A chatty 6km (with extra car park laps) later and the job was done!

We were even papped on the move! Speed of light!

Every so often, for our group run, we pack in the miles and have a social, chatty run and yesterday was the perfect evening for it!

We completed a 3km warm up lap then set off for a further 4km circular jog.

We love the opportunity to pack in the miles on our Tuesday group run and there's no better opportunity than on the penultimate day of the January challenge.

We met at our usual Life Leisure base, did a long warm up loop whilst waiting for another GoodGymer to join and off we went.

We held a good pace and managed a solid 9km run before heading back to base!
