🎵 Mid February in Twenty-twenty... 🎵
The GoodGym gods were smiling down on us last night as the rains subsided and let us do our task in relative dryness!
This week we were off to the Yellow Qube, a new community centre in Tulse Hill, to finish off some litter picking and ivy removal that we started a few weeks ago.
First up we welcomed lovely new runners Selina, Hanna, Christina, Robyn and Jie to the fold and adorned Alfie with the CAPE OF GOOD HOPE for smashing his 50th good deed! 😲
We had a quick warm up and split into two distance teams. Nicky lead a longer route via Herne Hill and the rest of us only got a little lost on a shorter but hilly run.
When we arrived we had to vault a slippery fence to get into the area to be tidied which everyone (generally) did with grace and elegance. We shared around the gloves and bags and got to work, yanking up the ivy and picking up the rubbish. In no time at all we'd filled up every single bag (probs like 30..!), jumped back over the fence, took a snap and headed back.
A bunch of us then headed off for a quick sip at the Grosvenor!

Emma Lusher has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Emma is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

33 marvellous GoodGymers hit the pavements last night to run to Jubilee Primary School for a mystery task...
WOODEN you like to know!?
First we welcomed first timers Jen, Emma and Oscar to the gang and had a speedy warm up.
Steve lead a 4k route and the rest of us took the direct route to Jubilee where we were greeted by Juan. He had a big pile of wooden sticks/rods/planks hidden under a staircase which we awkwardly removed and took round to a shed - the kind of job we do so well!
So well that unfortunately by the time the splinter group had arrived, pretty much all the wood had been moved.
All that was left to do then was a serious HIIT sesh in the school hall. It was a hot one and everyone smashed it.
We then headed back for a well needed stretch.
Top work everyone!
Wooden it be nice...
