Who framed Mr Wolf?
10 GoodGymers made their way 2.0km to help the Friends of Tottenham Green in Haringey.

10 runners ran 2kms to help keep Tottenham Green clean.
With the torrential downpours all day, we knew that watering the plants at Cafe connect would be out, but had hoped we could still help out with the mulching. However a site check ruled that out, so we fell back to an emergency local litter pick.
Since Pennie was away, and the ground was still damp, we skipped burpees, and warmed up with a jumping-squat name game.
We headed off, with a couple of double backs and wall sits for the front runners thoroughly disorienting Kapil, who was surprised to find us back at the starting point after 2kms. Well, we are a running group, and 100m to the storage unit hardly counts.
Amongst the usual recycling and junk we found:
- A one armed glasses frame
- A no wheeled bicycle frame
- A one wheeled shopping trolly frame
- A shoe sole, no upper
- A spark plug
Inspired by the children's playground we'd just cleaned, we embarked upon a trio of kids games for out fitness session. Something something bursts of speed benefits something something. Let's be honest, the real benefit is that games just make moving about fun!
We warmed up with 2 games of cups and cones. With one team flipping them up, and one team flipping them back the other way. Despite an innovative strategy from Cathy of sneaking some cones away from the centre of the crush (well spotted Sarah), the Most Valuable Player award goes to Kapil!
Next up we played What's the Time Mr. Wolf? With some superb spinning on the spot, Rita kept us on our toes, and it took some sneaky stepping from Julie to catch her out.
Finally we played couple of rounds of Simon Says, with laps, reversals, squats, and nose touching Galore. Being the caller is harder than you'd think. Latoya caught me out hard, but Rita's rapid fire calls seemed to be the best strategy.
With that done all that was left was to put away the tools, recycling, and head back to base for those all important stretches.
