So there we were 15 GoodGymers and a hall full of chairs, someone said "this reminds me of musical chairs..." and that was it GG Lambeth does Musical Chairs!

The music was nowhere near loud enough and there was some cheating / hovering near chairs to contend with but as warm ups go this was a fun one. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tonight's task was to clean and paint the hall at Papa's but the course of completing tasks rarely runs smoothly and so none of the cleaning stuff or paint was waiting for us. Not to fear with Katy's help there was a quick dash down to Brixton Poundland to grab sponges (there were no big packs), cleaning spray (got 'em), scourers (multipack), cloths (blue) and tissue (extra absorbent).

We were back just before the hour and the hall was full of expectant runners arranged in circle like a community meeting. โœŠ

After the indoor warm up came the outdoor one led by Sarah who was being filmed for her Run Leader Training - great job Sarah. We set off on a quick and flat 2kms which took 15 mins including stops for busy roads and then it was back for a scrub down of the walls, skirting and mirrors.

With so many volunteers we split into 2 groups and while one cleaned the other did a four station calisthenics session then after 15 minutes we swapped. ๐Ÿ‹

After putting the hall back as it was only sparkling clean we were done for the evening, a quick debrief of upcoming tasks and missions and home time. โญ

A big shout out to the first time GoodGym runners tonight Philippa, Pat, Lucy and Inny - great to have you with us and I look forward to seeing you all again!!
