Hackney Report written by Joel Wiles
28 Hackney GoodGymers ran 6k to Hackney Wick Community Garden.
Amazing to be back with the squad this week and a huge thank you to Katie for blazing a trail of navigational glory to and back from the task!!
3k very warm kilometres of running had us warmed up for task action and with loads of jobs to do we got right down to business!!
A forest of wood to break down into twigs, big twigs big bagged up and transported in brown Bins across the estate, virtually draining the river of water will the amount of watering that was required for a very thirsty garden (all done by buckets), ingenious work creating not only a hose pipe mini irritation system but also a nailless wood store!
40 minutes of graft rewarded by an amazing fresh fruit spread and water to fuel us up for the strong run back to base!!
Than you all for coming and best of to Deb and Paul for their amazing GoodGym tour!!
See you next week for a Hackney Downes adventure!
Smooth Running

Charlotte Horner completed their first run in a new area.
Curious? Charlotte has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Charlotte is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

Islington Report written by Paul Bown
20 Goodgymers ran 5km to help Blackstock Triangle Gardeners
Welcome along newbies - Florence, Sophie, Katy and Charlotte - lovely to have you join us.
In the news this week:
After a quick warm up we ran the 1.5km to the community group via the railway path, it's a lovely hidden path with lots growing. Lovely to run along upon an evening.Once we arrived at Primsoll Road we were greeted by Nicolette who put us to work weeding and littering the bases of the trees along three streets.
The Blackstock Triangle Gardeners are working towards having their area judfed in the Islington in Bloom competition which promotes having greener communities. Our job this week was to help them.
21 GoodGymers + 35 minutes = impact
In teams of 3-4 we spread across the area, first weeding and then planting over 40 flowers that have come from the Chelsea Flowers Show. Some teams had more luck than others with how good their soil was. As the time went on we got more tools and gloves from residents and were able to get the job done.
Over 35 minutes we got the job done and made a big impact in our community!
Next we were off to Finsbury Park for a fitness session which included being in pairs - with one person sprinting and the other doing either press ups, mountain climbers or planks - before switching! Tough work!
Next week we are helping Octopus Communities in Caledonian Park also prepare for Islington in Bloom sign up here.
