First up, big up totally fresh to GG; Josie, Andrew and Erica - thanks for coming along :)

Tonight GG Lambeth ran to Jubilee Primary School to smash through a massive task.

We had a couple of run options - Direct 2k with me or a little 5k loop with the burgundy boys (Alfie & Steve).

Then we arrived at Jubilee Primary ready to crack on:

1️⃣ Pulling out weeds - not the bulbs, the fake parsley or the tulips 💐 - just the weeds 🌱

2️⃣ Moving the big bags of soil and emptying them into the planter. 👜

3️⃣ Planting some lovely shrubs into the planter 🌳

Things we learnt:

1️⃣ There's a children's book called "Dogger"

2️⃣ Heads, ELBOWS, Knees and Toes is a great song to remind us how to run up hills (and it rhymes better than the original).

3️⃣I need to get another set of keys cut.

All tasks and knowledge learning was done extra efficiently, and what would have taken Juan hours on his own was done in 30 minutes by team Lambeth. ✊

GoodGym Lambeth, I love your work.

Hopefully see you next week for moving out a load of furniture from Brixton Road Youth Centre!

It's GoodGym Lambeth's 6th Birthday!!!!

So to celebrate we did some GOOD.

Tonight's task was at Jubilee Primary School, mainly to shift some large planks of wood to access a bench(?!) and clearing leaves in the play area out the front, so that the pupils have more space to play in!

We kicked off welcoming our new runners Harriet, Mark, Harry and Charlotte to the gang and admired those runners who've stuck with Lambeth since the beginning!

Then we had a brisk warm up and split into 3 groups to run to the task.

When we arrived we got straight to work lifting and shifting leaves and branches (and a poor deceased bird) into compost piles and moving some of those big blue gymnast mats (you know the ones) from a shed to the car park. And those who took the longer run options dove straight into moving all the planks and rearranging them neatly.

We wrapped up, ran back through windy Brixton and shot off to the pub for a serious beer selection and mostly brownies. 😋

Here's the link to next week's run at the Portico Gallery.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAMBETH 🙌💪💐
