A cracking turn out for the last h&f GoodGym in January. Bring us up to 68 good deeds this month. Amazing effort!

The evening started with a recap of the Goodgym January challenge as we kept one eye on the door for more red t-shirts to bring us to a round number. Our area had already clocked-up 911km and 53 good deeds so far. This week we had newbies Grace and Lucy helping us add to the deeds total. And Amy touristing from Wandsworth to add to their area target - good effort all round.

Once we’d covered the rest of the news and events coming up, we headed outside for a warm-up... and the forgotten head count. Then it was off to the task via the river. Another running group had also decided to take this route so for a while there we though we might be able to steal some of their strays. Alas, it wasn’t to be.

The rest of this run was peppered with exercise stops, including squats, squat thrusts, star jumps and bum kicks.

Now for the arm workout

Our task for the night was to help our at Maystar Estate. They had asked if we could come and help wash the walls and windows down in the community hall. Used by all the residents, this area needed some tlc. The gang quickly got to work with the soapy water and cloths for an early spring clean. Special mention goes to George and Ellie for going where no person had gone before... behind the oven.

After our time was up we gathered for a group photo and said our goodbyes to Pauline the Housing Association (volunteer) treasurer who organises our visits.

Then for a finally short run back to base, followed by a warm-down.

Congrats to everyone that made it out in January!
