This week 9 marvelous GG-ers ran 4km to tidy up a local park ahead of a winter festival.

Dave was a particular hero tonight, brining a bag full of gardening gloves and Toblerone for the gang to use on task (and post-task). Abigail was particularly excited about the Toblerone part.

After a quick warm up in front of the green, we ran to Bruce Castle and got to work collecting fag ends, cans, crisp packets and a discarded chair, clearing the park of all the litter. One man and his dog were very excited to see us and seemed real curious about the GG way - so hopefully he remembers to come along next time!

Before long it was time to consolidate our bags and put them in the bin, making sure to tie it off and push it down so the epic winds didn't undo our good work.

Then we did a quick circuit on the grass before heading home. Press ups, squats and burpees. We are slowly making progress on form with these as everyone starts to learn how to squeeze their butt.

Back at base we ate the chocolate and did our stretches. Next week is our last run of 2017. We'll be turning the soil at Tottenham Green. Please do come along – especially if you have some sort of Christmas outfit/hat to run in. We'll be eating things at that chicken place next door afterwards to celebrate the end of another wonderful year of good. See you there!
