28 runners smashed a MASSIVE job for Doddington & Rollo community garden yesterday, managing to shift 6 tonnes of top soil in 45 minutes - now that is a bit of GoodGym magic!

As our lovely home at the BAC is shut for a refurb for the next three weeks, we started off the night outside with a bit of news:

• A very big welcome to Ameen, Lucinda, Hannah and Beth who all came along for their first GoodGym group run - give them a cheer and a high five next time you see them!

• Can you believe that GoodGym is going to be a whole ten years old soon? From small beginning in Tower Hamlets we are now all part of something huge and wonderful. We want to know what GoodGym means to you and your community, please have a look at this link as we’d love to hear your story.

• If you fancy a cheap place in the Big Half next March then drop me a line.

After playing a short game of bag tetris trying to fit all our stuff in a titchy car, we did a warm up and set off for Doddington & Rollo roof garden, a beautiful community garden that has been transformed from a disused carpark roof to somewhere that local people can use.

We arrived to find the challenge in question - an enormous 150 bags each full of 50 litres of compost. Our job was to carry them up to the roof garden, but to make things even more interesting, the lorry that had come to deliver them earlier that day had to drop them quite a distance away from the stairs.

We had decided on a human chain which quickly fell apart, but slowly and surely the pile got smaller and after 45 minutes of some serious lifting, every single one of those 150 bags and the pallets they came on were up at the garden. That is 6 TONNES of compost you guys lifted last night. Superheroes, every one of you! What took us one evening would have taken the volunteers at the garden several days, so well done on harnessing that GoodGym muscle for good.

We decided after that hardcore session that we didn't really need much in the way of fitness so we stopped briefly half way home to do a bit of core work with some ab triathlons. All that was left was the short run home and some stretches. Great work everybody!

Along for the run last night we had Beth along with a little bit of radio magic - hear her report of what we got up to here on Wednesday night and see if you made the cut!

Next week we're back to the Doddington estate for another big job - this time we're painting the many corridors in the community centre. This is a real biggie so do come along if you can make it! You can sign up here. Don't forget that the BAC will be shut the next three weeks so do try and avoid bringing too much stuff or anything precious if you can. Until then, happy running GoodGym!
