GoodGym Lambeth Run Report 🏃‍♀️🗑️

Mission: Rush Common Deep Clean

This week our heroic band of litter-busting legends descended upon Rush Common for what can only be described as a TRASH-tastic adventure! 💪

Tom from Lambeth Council had issued the call, and boy did we answer it with bells on (and brand new fancy litter pickers in hand)! ✨

The Mission Breakdown 🎯

Our crack team split into two elite units:

• Squad A: Armed with shiny new grabbers, these warriors tackled the park’s surface litter with military precision 🎖️
• Squad B: The bottle top extraction specialists, who gathered around bench areas like archaeological experts, popping those pesky caps right out of the ground!

Star Performers 🌟

🏆 Cutest GGer Award goes to Jo’s baby boy - proving that community spirit starts young! This little champion showed us all how to be absolutely adorable while saving the planet 👶✨

🔍 Discovery of the Week: Adam cracked the code on the mystical “bottle top pop technique” - apparently it’s all in the tap! Who knew physics could be so satisfying? Pop goes the litter! 🍾

Our Usual Suspects (The Good Kind!) 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

A massive shout-out to our regular crew of community champions:

• Katie - crushing it as always!
• Dottie - back in Lambeth and we couldn’t be more delighted!
• Jenny - bringing the energy and enthusiasm
• Fi - not only did she clear litter, but she also treated us to DELICIOUS homemade treats! Talk about going above and beyond! 🍪
• Tilly - proving that teamwork makes the dream work!

The Bottom Line 📊

Another week, another park transformed from trashy to classy! Rush Common is now sparkling clean thanks to our incredible volunteers who know how to have a rubbish (good) time while making a real difference!

Until next week, keep running and keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚

GoodGym Lambeth: Where fitness meets civic duty, and puns are always encouraged! 😄

🏃‍♀️🌱

Well, well, well... what do you know? Our usual standing task decided to leaf us hanging this week! 🍃 But did we let that weed us out? Absolutely not! Instead, we rose to the occasion and headed to Papa's Park for some proper gardening action.

The Route That Took Root

Our fabulous crew laced up for a scenic 2km loop to Clapham and back - because nothing says "warm-up" like a gentle jog before you get down and dirty with some serious weeding!

Operation Dandelion Destruction

Once we arrived at Papa's Park, we split into two crack teams of vegetation vigilantes:

Team Planter Power took on the inside job - pulling weeds and taming the escaped greenery around the planters. These green-fingered heroes really knew how to turnip the heat! 🌿

Team Perimeter Patrol tackled the wild frontier along the outside edge, hacking away at the rebellious weeds that had clearly been growing a bit too big for their boots. Talk about mint to be! 🌱

Special Shout-Out Corner

We're absolutely Dan-de-lighted to have Dan back with us tonight! 🦸‍♂️ Fresh from his Superman audition for the new movie (seriously, Dan, please don't do your own stunts - we need you in one piece for future weeding missions!). His return really helped us turnip the energy levels!

The Dirt on Tonight

Another classic GoodGym session in the books! We came, we saw, we weeded - and Papa's Park is looking fresh thanks to our green-thumbed heroes.

Until next week, keep growing that GoodGym spirit!

Remember: We're not just running from our problems - we're running TO make a difference! 💪🌟

Report compiled by your friendly neighborhood pun-master 🏃‍♀️📝

The Great Stockwell Shuffle 📦🏃‍♀️ to find out why we went bad this week check out the Lambeth Insta page!

Date: This Week
Destination: Stockwell Park Community Centre
Mission: Operation Lift ‘n’ Shift Supreme

The Brief

Our magnificent seven (plus a few extras) laced up their trainers and jogged over to meet Nick & Julie at Stockwell Park Community Centre. Little did we know we were about to embark on the ultimate game of “Will It Fit?” - Community Centre Edition!

The Challenge

What started as a simple “moving some donated items” quickly escalated into an episode of “Extreme Decluttering: Volunteers At Large.” Our task? Wrestling with a mountain of miscellaneous mayhem that would make Marie Kondo weep.

The Inventory of Incredulity:

• Fridges (because apparently keeping things cool is so last season)
• Dishwasher (now officially on permanent vacation from dish duty)
• Boxes of books (heavy on knowledge, heavier on our backs)
• Kids’ toys (proving that fun really does weigh a ton)
• Pasta presses (for when you need your carbs really flat)
• Broken keyboards (no longer making beautiful music together)
• TVs (giving us the silent treatment)
• Picture frames (framing us for excessive lifting)
• Scrap plastic (the stuff that dreams are made of… apparently)
• Bean bags (surprisingly un-bean-like in their cooperation)
• And much, much more! (insert dramatic echo here)

The Plot Twist

Just when we thought we’d mastered the art of community centre Jenga, Nick and Julie threw us a curveball: “Oh, and could you possibly carry these two enormous wardrobes to a flat down the road?”

Cue nervous laughter and the collective sound of volunteers mentally calculating their life insurance policies.

Mission: Impossible - Wardrobe Protocol

Armed with nothing but determination and questionable spatial awareness, our heroes Michael, Katie, Jenny, Adam, Paul, Eric, and Jo transformed into human furniture movers extraordinaire.

The real challenge wasn’t the carrying (though our shoulders would like a word) - it was the ultimate test of Tetris skills as we attempted to navigate two massive wardrobes through a front door that clearly wasn’t designed with “wardrobe delivery” in mind.

After much rotating, tilting, and what can only be described as “furniture yoga,” we achieved the impossible. The wardrobes are now happily settled in their new home, probably gossiping about their epic journey.

The Heroes of the Hour

Let’s give a massive round of applause to our absolutely wardrobe-ous crew:

• Michael - Master of the pivot maneuver
• Katie - Queen of “maybe if we turn it this way…”
• Jenny - Chief morale officer and corner-spotter
• Adam - The human measuring tape
• Paul - Keeper of everyone’s sanity
• Eric - Professional furniture whisperer
• Jo - The voice of reason when reason was in short supply

The Verdict

Another successful mission in the books! We lifted, we shifted, we conquered. Our community is a little tidier, one family has some new wardrobes, and we all got an absolutely moving workout.

Until next week, keep running and keep giving!

P.S. - If anyone knows where we can get a degree in Applied Wardrobe Physics, asking for several friends…

GoodGym Lambeth: Where fitness meets furniture moving, and everyone wins!

🏃‍♀️🗑️ After a last-minute plot twist worthy of a soap opera, our heroic squad pivoted from their original mission to tackle the streets with some competitive rubbish collection. Nothing says “flexible fitness” like a spontaneous game of Litter Pick Bingo!

The Rubbish Results

Our magnificent crew turned street cleaning into pure bin-go gold, collecting everything from the mundane to the absolutely pants. Speaking of which, among today’s “treasure” haul were some bikini bottoms and underwear - proving that Lambeth’s streets really do have some cheeky surprises!

We’re not sure what story these garments could tell, but we’re betting it’s a brief one. 😉

The Dream Team

• Fi, Katie, Jenny & Ben - our usual suspects who never fail to pick up the slack (and everything else)
• Khai - our Greenwich guest star who traveled across boroughs to join the fun, proving that good deeds know no boundaries!

The Verdict

Another successful mission in the (bin) bag. The streets are cleaner, the community is tidier, and we’ve all had a rubbish good time doing it!

Remember: One person’s rubbish is another person’s fitness opportunity!

Next week: Back to our regularly scheduled do-gooding (underwear optional)
