Beautiful weather, beautiful people, and some amazing running - what a way to spend a Wednesday evening!

We had loads to celebrate last night, including welcoming two great new runners to the gang. Say hello to Suzi and to Kate who both came for their first group run last night - give them a cheer!

We also gave Beth a well-deserved round of applause for reaching a massive milestone last night - she has run 100 times to good in her local communities. That shows huge commitment and we tip our hats to her general marvelousness. We shall also celebrate with cake! This comes off the back of smashing the Brighton marathon on Sunday. Can anything stop this woman?! Way to go Beth!

Speaking of marathons, we wish Will the best of luck from his GG Hounslow fam for this weekend when he will be taking on London's streets in a battle of wills and thighs. Look out for the famous neon shorts if you're going down to cheer the marathon this weekend!

With inspiration from the glorious weather, we asked ourselves what is the best thing to put on the BBQ as we were doing our warm up last night. Votes came in for corn on the cob, really big prawns, marshmallows, all the meats, halloumi and so much more, so with a rumbles in our tummies, we set off for our task tonight at Ealing Baptist Church.

This organisation, run by the pastor Roger, doubles up as a drop in shelter for the homeless, and gives clothes and food to the local community. Roger works tirelessly for others, but needs a hand getting his many jobs done. Step up GoodGym! Our tasks tonight involved cleaning, moving chairs and sorting donations, and with so many hands on deck (we scooped up Dave on the way) we got it all done in no time.

It was such a lovely evening that we decided to lengthen our run home and take a nice river route. Sadly this was at the expense of our fitness session, but it was beautiful with the backdrop of a gorgeous sunset. Unfortunately it did mean running past a number of tantilising pubs, which we bravely resisted. There were a few stops though to knock out some different exercises, and even one small pause to sing Beth a happy 100th deed song.

Before long we were back at the Town Hall with a nice 7k under our belt, glistening faces and big smiles knowing that our workout and our good deed was done. Next week we have a short run and you know what that means - lots of lovely fitness! Sign up here to lend a hand to a local school.

Dib dib dob, GoodGym! Last night 10 runners tackled a long run to Brentford Scout hut, gave the place a lick of paint and ran back - with a few squats and lunges along the way!

We started off the night welcoming the lovely Lisa and Tatty who joined us for their very first GoodGym run. Welcome to the gang!

There was a bit of news before we set off on a slightly longer run - don't forget that there is a GoodGym-wide social tomorrow night in central London. It's a lovely opportunity to catch up with other GoodGymers from all the areas, cheer the good deeds everybody has been doing, and generally have a good old GG knees up. Everybody welcome!

After a quick warm up with a long run in our crosshairs, we did a quick poll to find out our favourite breakfasts. Much toast, eggs and avocado (YES), cinnamon and raisin bagels, heuvos rancheros and fruit were all popular while Michelle loves everything breakfast!

It was a 4k run to our task tonight so we set off at a steady pace, stopping along the way smash out a few squats, wall sits and tricep dips. Before long (give or take a small but obviously deliberate detour) we arrived at the scout hut to find Claire waiting with paintbrushes, paint and a big expanse of wall which needed some love.

Despite a few splashes, some terrible puns, and some pesky spiders we got the job done quickly. Next week we'll be back to give the hallway a good coat of yellow paint and another coat on the white wall.

With Jo, Amanda, Luis, Lisa, Tatty and Michelle leading the way we headed to our starting point, with a faster pace on the way back. Really great running everyone - it's not easy to smash 8k stopping for a big job half way but you guys nailed it.

Looking forward to some more of the same next week, so sign up here for a great run, an important community task and a pub social afterwards!
