On Monday night 17 runners headed down to Stepney City Farm from the Town Hall Hotel. A nice mix of first with GoodGym runners, first time Tower Hamlets runners and familiar faces made the 2km run down to the farm where we met Simon and a collection of goats, pigs and ducks.

We split into two teams, one to start on the huge pile of compost that had built up since our last visit, the other to empty a pond. With loads to do we stayed on site for early 50 minutes, slightly curtailing our run home, but with the satisfied knowledge of a task well done.

We then split into 3 groups to head back to base with the help of Bryon, Andrew and Alison via different routes, at different paces.

Until next time!

Reports from Alex:

On a balmy August evening, 6 Tower Hamlets GoodGymmers congregated in Cambridge Heath, this time not for a task, but for a scenic run around the borough, as is traditional for Bank Holiday sessions. Axel headed the group as we sampled the glorious golden Victoria Park sunset as it permeated the trees lining the footway. After a lap of the park, the group split into two for a friendly competition - one group tackling a faster paced extra lap whilst the other headed back to base. Although we admired the ambition of the group doing the extra loop, the others won comfortably - a good thing too as they had the key to the bag drop! A really enjoyable group run, and we all look forward to getting stuck into a task next week as GoodGym Tower Hamlets assembles once more.
