A very warm welcome to Lewisham Margarete, we hope to see you again soon! Thanks to Amber for leading our walking group this evening, and to Sarah for backmarking.

Well done to everyone who made it out in Storm Dennis for some soggy running this weekend! Thankfully the weather was significantly drier this evening, but we still needed a mexercise wave of squats, lunges, jumping jacks, high knees and heel flicks to warm up.

We set off for the relatively short run round the corner to St Christopher's Hospice shop. The shop manager Sara had plenty of tasks (as well as plenty of snacks!) lined up for us to tackle this evening, including:

• Hanging up sorted clothes in the back
• Tidying up the shop floor, to some very exacting standards
• Sorting the scarves into colour and length order
• Dressing the clothes model ready for spring (who wore it better... the shop model or Caireen?)
• A bit of Top Gun action adding blank labels to the newly hung clothes, ready for pricing
• And did I mention the snacks??

We managed to get through everything that was lined up for us, which meant only one thing... We had time for a time trial! I was very impressed with the effort everyone put in, and enjoyed a thrilling sprint finish with Nick just pipping Adam to the post!

"I feel the need ..." "... the need for speed!"

Thanks everyone for a fun task! Keep an eye out on the upcoming community mission listings for some weekend fun with Caireen at the lovely Wildcat Wilderness, one of GoodGym Lewisham's perennial favourites.

Have a fantastic week everyone, and happy running!

Everyone clearly had increased energy from the mass chocolate consumption over Easter as loads of people brought their documents to be checked so they can do our work with older people. Woohoo!

We started the evening by celebrating George who hit 100 big ones. Nice one George!

A small group went off with John to dig some soil out of planters at a GP Surgery in Stockwell. We'll be moving the planters to another surgery and re-filling them with soil quite soon.

The rest were back to Clapham Common to continue our work making a wildflower meadow. This week, we got to turn the soil from the two strips already made and we planted some flowers! It's a true honour that GoodGym got to lay the first plants in this lovely new space. You can see a nice tweet with photos of our handiwork here.

We did some stretches back at base and look forward to next week being even lighter than this one!
