This week GG Haringey came together to do some unexpected good. Well the good was always expected, but not the good we did.

Last night was supposed to be a night of planting food at the Green, I thought. So we warmed up, ran over, excited for all the planting, only to find the gate locked and not a person in sight. Turns out I'd written the the task in the wrong date.

I stood there trying to hatch Plan B while the group held a wall sit in wait.

Ollie suggested calling Laura over at Friends of Tottenham Green. She was sitting down to her dinner, but she came out to meet us anyway.

On the run back we stopped at our cycle path for sprints and knee drive drills, to buy Laura some time to get to the Green. We worked through a few reps of mixed effort sprints, focusing on picking those knees up and pushing off your back foot.

When we got to the Green, Laura was just a few seconds behind us. Perfect timing. She was real excited that we could get another cheeky session in and we split into two teams: the rakers and the pickers. Dave took one team to the other side of the garden fence to rake up the fallen leaves and save the grass, while Abi took the others to litter pick the hedge around the leisure center.

We then put away our tools, said our goodbyes and made our way over to the town hall (maybe?) for a few games of tag and stuck in the mud. Because playing children's games is the best way to build sprint work into a workout without anybody noticing.
