We had so much going last night so let's get straight into it!

First up the new GGers - we were delighted to be joined by Ellie and Gabriella for their first ever session - great to have you with us guys.

Next we were celebrating bringing up Tilly's ton - her 100th Good Deed - what a fantastic achievement Tilly, well done. To cap it off Tilly also baked delicious blondies for the group!

Then we were also supporting the #Let'sLiftTheCurfew campaign from This Girl Can. GoodGym is proud to offer a safe and welcoming space for women to run during the darker months and last night we spoke about this before the session headed out. For more information on the campaign check out the Sport England website.

And so with Ben working his way through to his next milestone, Run Leader Lucy back with us in Lambeth after a while and legend Michael we set of to meet Mohah, Marie-Noelle and Paul down at Swan Mews.

Our job was simple but fun - shift tonnes (running theme tonight) of compost from the bags to the planters so that the patients of the surgery can use them to plant and garden to support their mental and physical wellbeing.

By the end of the session we had moved at least two and a half bags so 2500kgs of compost which is not to be sniffed at (seriously I wouldn't) and then everyone was ready to wash up and head back towards base at Papa's. Those of a younger disposition then branched off and headed to the pub to toast Tilly's achievement and polish off the blondies.

Huge thanks to all and see you next time :0)
