🍂 GOODGYM LAMBETH RUN REPORT 🍂

When Plans Go A-rye (mill)! 🌾

This week served up a last-minute plot twist worthy of a Halloween thriller! Our original task got cancelled faster than you can say "trick or treat," but did that stop our intrepid crew? Not a chance! We pivoted quicker than a Jack Russell chasing squirrels and headed straight to Brixton Windmill Gardens for some leafy heroics. 🎃

Mission: Help Jean rake in the Halloween spirit!

Armed with scrapers, rakes, brooms, and a couple of one-tonne builders bags (because we don't do things by halves!), we set about gathering every last leaf we could find. Future mulch? More like future GOLD, am I right?! 💰🍁

The team was absolutely raking it in - quite literally! We swept through those gardens like a pack of highly motivated border collies on a mission. Speaking of which... 🐕

Tonight's burning question: If you were a dog, what breed would you be?!

Turns out the GG family is packed with active breeds - no couch potato pugs here! Safe to say we've got more energy than a springer spaniel in a tennis ball factory. 🐶🐺⚡

Shout out to our usual cast of absolute legends: Jo, Michael, Fi, Katie, and Ben - you guys are PAW-some! We're not lion when we say you're the mane event every single week! 🦁💪🏼

Until next time, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: LEAF it all out there! 🍂😄

Another week, another good deed in the bag (literally - a one-tonne one!) 🧹✨

Mission: Rush Common Deep Clean

This week our heroic band of litter-busting legends descended upon Rush Common for what can only be described as a TRASH-tastic adventure! 💪

Tom from Lambeth Council had issued the call, and boy did we answer it with bells on (and brand new fancy litter pickers in hand)! ✨

The Mission Breakdown 🎯

Our crack team split into two elite units:

• Squad A: Armed with shiny new grabbers, these warriors tackled the park’s surface litter with military precision 🎖️
• Squad B: The bottle top extraction specialists, who gathered around bench areas like archaeological experts, popping those pesky caps right out of the ground!

Star Performers 🌟

🏆 Cutest GGer Award goes to Jo’s baby boy - proving that community spirit starts young! This little champion showed us all how to be absolutely adorable while saving the planet 👶✨

🔍 Discovery of the Week: Adam cracked the code on the mystical “bottle top pop technique” - apparently it’s all in the tap! Who knew physics could be so satisfying? Pop goes the litter! 🍾

Our Usual Suspects (The Good Kind!) 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

A massive shout-out to our regular crew of community champions:

• Katie - crushing it as always!
• Dottie - back in Lambeth and we couldn’t be more delighted!
• Jenny - bringing the energy and enthusiasm
• Fi - not only did she clear litter, but she also treated us to DELICIOUS homemade treats! Talk about going above and beyond! 🍪
• Tilly - proving that teamwork makes the dream work!

The Bottom Line 📊

Another week, another park transformed from trashy to classy! Rush Common is now sparkling clean thanks to our incredible volunteers who know how to have a rubbish (good) time while making a real difference!

Until next week, keep running and keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚

Mission: Brixton Windmill Allotments Support

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! 🌾

The Mission Brief 📋

Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!

What We Got Up To 💪

• Manure Madness: We shovelled mountains of the good stuff into wheelbarrows. It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it! 💩
• Spreading the Love: Distributed said manure across the planting patches and bathtub garden - talk about fertilizing friendships! 🌱
• Apple-solutely Essential Work: Collected apples for both composting and juicing. We really apple-ied ourselves to the task! 🍎

Star Performers ⭐

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! 🎉

Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! 🏃‍♀️✨

And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! 🥕

The Verdict 🏆

Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annick’s allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!

Keep calm and GoodGym on! 💚🏃‍♂️

🏃‍♀️🌱 This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! 🏃‍♂️💨

The Tasks That Made Us Grow 🌿

Our green-fingered gang tackled:

• Weeding - We really got to the root of the problem! 🌾
• Chopping - Nothing like a good chop to get the heart pumping! ✂️
• Watering - Keeping things flowing smoothly 💧
• Edging - We were really on the edge of our … beds! 🌸
• Litter picking - Because we’re absolutely rubbish at leaving a mess behind! 🗑️

The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! 🌻

The Berry Best Part - Late Summer Social! 🥳

But wait, there’s more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! 🌿✨

Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! ⏰🌿). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! 🥗🎵

The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! 🎶 And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) 🎤💡

The Verdict 🏆

A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!

Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! 🏃‍♀️🌱💚

GoodGym Lambeth - where we work out while we help out!

🏃‍♀️🌱

Well, well, well... what do you know? Our usual standing task decided to leaf us hanging this week! 🍃 But did we let that weed us out? Absolutely not! Instead, we rose to the occasion and headed to Papa's Park for some proper gardening action.

The Route That Took Root

Our fabulous crew laced up for a scenic 2km loop to Clapham and back - because nothing says "warm-up" like a gentle jog before you get down and dirty with some serious weeding!

Operation Dandelion Destruction

Once we arrived at Papa's Park, we split into two crack teams of vegetation vigilantes:

Team Planter Power took on the inside job - pulling weeds and taming the escaped greenery around the planters. These green-fingered heroes really knew how to turnip the heat! 🌿

Team Perimeter Patrol tackled the wild frontier along the outside edge, hacking away at the rebellious weeds that had clearly been growing a bit too big for their boots. Talk about mint to be! 🌱

Special Shout-Out Corner

We're absolutely Dan-de-lighted to have Dan back with us tonight! 🦸‍♂️ Fresh from his Superman audition for the new movie (seriously, Dan, please don't do your own stunts - we need you in one piece for future weeding missions!). His return really helped us turnip the energy levels!

The Dirt on Tonight

Another classic GoodGym session in the books! We came, we saw, we weeded - and Papa's Park is looking fresh thanks to our green-thumbed heroes.

Until next week, keep growing that GoodGym spirit!

Remember: We're not just running from our problems - we're running TO make a difference! 💪🌟
