Six runners met on a fabulous Monday summer evening for a short run to the local former Willesden Green police station-cum- future community hub and all-round creative space, followed by a jaunt up to Gladstone Park for a breath-taking relay race!

A smaller group than usual, but no less full of good vibes and energy, Claire was happy to welcome second-timers Jo and Emily, Joe with an 'e', and Brent regulars Liz, Tabitha and Deborah, vying for the 50 good deed black t-shirt, who will be the first...?

We set off down to the High Street with a spring in our step to the task that awaited us - yes that's right, moving old mattresses ready for collection, and stacking up a batch of new ones. There was no sleeping on this job though, we shifted those mattresses quicker than you could say 40 winks and even had time for a cuppa tea.

Meanwhile, out front, Deborah, Tabitha and Jo had set about sprucing up the surroundings, litter picking, weeding and ... oh dear... standing in poo (ever heard of bag it & bin it Brent dog owners?!?). Not one to be a party poo-per (groaaaan!), Tabitha didn't let that take the smile off her face (well, only temporarily!).

With tools packed up and gloves returned, we said our goodbyes and thank you's for the hospitali-tea and ran off towards Gladtstone Park for a tempo relay race, the six were paired up and ran round the bottom of the park in different directions till they met somewhere near the middle, high-fived and changed direction to race back to the start point - competition was fierce and there was only a measley 17 seconds between the first and last finishers, impressive work! We regrouped for a well-deserved stretch out on the grass before heading back to the Queensbury.

Well done everyone! You make Brent Brighter!!!

What a great bunch of runners we had in Wandsworth last night. Not only did we have some lovely GG tourism from marathon man Graham and Tom, but we welcomed along Jake to the group. Give them a cheer, good people.

Well done to superstar Sophie who stormed round the running leg of the Blenheim Palace tri, and to Sally, who smashed her first ever Park Run at the weekend. More cheers, please.

This was our last run before the GoodGym Olympics on Saturday, and our final chance to fine tune our split times and track strategy. We had a quick chat about our flag - we're meeting tonight at the Work and Play Scrapstore at 6:45 before decamping to a pub nearby to create our masterpiece if you'd like to join us.

After a few damp dynamic stretches, thanks to the great British summer, we debated everybody's favorite sportsperson. Only one Mo Farah, but several Johnny Wilkinsons?! Tonight's task was at The Venue, a community space which hosts events to bring together local people, run by the lovely Hadas. It was a fairly short run there, but long enough to get us soaked. We dripped in, and divided up into teams to tackle a deep clean of the whole place. We sponged windows, scoured the kitchen, scrubbed the toilets, cleaned the outside area, washed the carpet, and gave the whole place the GG treatment. For which we were rewarded with watermelon, the perfect post-run snack.

Task done, we took ourselves outside to do a round of circuits which, after some very sketchy maths, featured burpee high fives, planks, back-to-back squats, sumo squats, sprints, high knee skipping, press ups, tricep dips and mountain climbers. It was a tough one but there was some high energy circuiting from Team Wandsworth. Well done everyone.

All that was left was to tackle that last pesky hill on the way home, and to stretch it out before having a drink or two at the bar to celebrate Jack's birthday. Talking of drinks, the monthly social for the whole of GoodGym will take place after the Olympics, at The Grafton at 6pm. See you there! In the meantime, why not sign up for next week's run here - we're going to be stuffing envelopes for the RSPCA!
