Tonight's task was to clear an allotment for an elderly lady who was finding it hard to cope with the workload. Unfortunately after the days heavy downpours the allotment was flooded so no work could be carried out. Luckily we had some flyers left over from last weeks task advertising The Clandon Park Charity Run, so we headed up to Woking park to distribute them. After 20 mins we had finished so headed into the Park for a fitness session. This consisted of an accumulator of 10 press ups, 1 x 400m run. Then 10 press ups, 12 squats, 400m run. We added an extra set of exercises after each 400m lap until we had completed 5x 400m laps. Once this was completed, we walked over to the other side of the Park which gave us time to recover and have a quick catch up on everyone's week! There was some good news in that Mark had secured a new job after a couple of months of waiting!!! Once at the other side of the Park it was time for some intervals and fartlek training. Everyone put in 100% and its great to see such improvements in everyone's fitness. Once finished we took an easy 1km recovery jog back. Well done everyone, and remember to spread the word and bring a friend or anyone you know who wants to get fit and help out the local community at the same time!

Tonight's task was to distribute flyers for Kelly's Clandon Park Run. This is a charity run that is raisingfunds for George Abbot School in Guildford. There is a choice of 10km or 4km distances, so it would be great if we could get a load of Goodgym runners to attend this fantastic race! After a quick warm up we headed into Horsell and split into two teams, each taking one side each - if only the Royal Mail were so efficient! Again tonight the main topic of conversation was the Various races everyone was signing up to - Anne has her first 10km in two weeks! Thirty mins of delivering leaflets and we were done, which gave us plenty of time for a quick leg session which consisted of hills, lunges and squats! We headed back, using the 2km to stretch our legs!

200 flyers, 7 keeno runners, 6k and a whole load of guilty pleasures made up another cracking night in Hounslow!

We kicked off the evening with a few bits of news, including plans for our long run on the 3rd December and cheering Remy to half marathon glory on the 2nd December. Not forgetting of course that next week is our very FIRST birthday and we shall be celebrating with a great task (putting up flatpack furniture), a birthday-themed fitness game, and a pub quiz that we are going to smash. There will almost certainly be cake.

We then took ourselves outside for a warm up and to find out everybody's guilty pleasures. Although we should never feel guilty about pleasure, of course. TV shows (trashy and decidedly not trashy) featured quite highly in between high knees and heel kicks, including Outlander, Gilmore Girls, Made in Chelsea and Love Island. To which the latter particularly Ella had showed an impressive commitment. Sunflower seeds and bad action films we agreed were more noble pursuits.

We had a speedy run down to Waterman's Art Centre - a great independent charity that aims to inspire people of all backgrounds through creativity and provide art for all. Almost 2.5 k later and we arrived at the reception desk to find a pile of 200 flyers for an upcoming Digital Weekender waiting for us to distribute. This event in a couple of weeks is crammed full of fun and fascinating free sessions, so do check it out.

Now, we had done this before for Waterman's with mixed success, but this time we were going to do it better. We had already mapped out an area that we were going to hit up, so quickly made our way there. Splitting up into two groups to cover both sides of the street, we got ourselves into formation to put a flyer through every letterbox. Soon we were operating like (a bit rusty) clockwork. We covered about 2k in this way, encountering some menacing barking and some beautiful houses, and soon found ourselves empty handed and back at Turnham Green for our fitness session.

This week were CODE CRACKING. Yes, it was complicated, and no, it probably wasn't explained very well. The idea was that two teams had to each crack a 6 number code. Each number related to a certain exercise and could appear more than once. Each team had to guess the correct sequence but to find out whether they had, they had to do each exercise. A square bracket meant it was the right number in the right position. Phew. I said it was complicated. Still, it was no match for Ella, Andreea and Natasha, who just in the nick of time managed to crack that code and were declared the winners. I mean, there wasn't an actual prize. But they won an overall sense of satisfaction, and that is priceless.

After a few stretches and a cool down we revelled in our post-run, post-goodness endorphin high and called it a night. Great work team. Bring on next week!
