How wood we make a pile that high?

Hackney Report written by Joel Wiles

19 GoodGymers ran 7k to Hackney Wick Community Garden to get 45 minutes of tough digging, lifting, shifting and piling graft in.

On the penultimate evening of the January Challenge Team Hackney May just have got over the line in completing our distance challenge but are agonisingly close to hitting our GoodDeed target!! Anyone up for a bit of GG tourism tomorrow? Or Sneaking in a Mission??

So we have the added delight of not only a magical Hackney Group Run but Anna was zipping around photographing us while in glorious GoodGym action!!

Setting off at a steady pace heading down to the River Lea lead by Peter, dropping our best Blue Steal whenever Anna popped up to snap us.

Making good time we soon covered just over 3k to meet up with Kirsty for the first time in 2018. Splitting up into groups we had the diggers who certainly worked up a sweat tonight scooping up the heavy saturated soil first to create space then to make a new flower bed. The next crew were over in the second garden gathering up wood by the barrow and wheelie bin load then running it back over to the Riverside garden. Once the garden was cleared of all the wood we started to turn over the soil to get the leaves we put in to the beds compost in November a chance to work their magic and fertilise the ground.

The final group were bagging and leaves, making a net and creating the biggest log pile Hackney has seen!!

45 minutes of all our action was richly rewarded by orange segments and the amazing biscuits!! With our energy levels restored we powered back to base picking up the intensity as we ran!! Putting strong effort in to the round about then dropping the running hammer on some speedy lamppost sprints!!

A general finish to the almost 4k route back rounded off a fun evening!!

Have a great week and see you next time when we go to Clissold Park to continue our work making the running path around the park perimeter.

Smooth Running

Nick completed their first run in a new area.

Curious? Nick has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Nick is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

When the spooky chips are down

Barnet Report written by Paul Bown

13 of GG Barnet's finest ran 4km, helped Northwold Rose Gardens & did a pyramid session

On a full moon Halloween evening we gathered at the Phoneix Cinema, welcomed newbie Wendy and talked about the news:

  1. Last GG Monthly Drinks of the year next Thursday in Stratford - all details here
  2. GG Christmas Party is on Friday 8th December at Battersea Art Centre - costume theme is BLACK & RED!
  3. There is an Unofficial Unofficial GoodGym Facebook Group if you'd like to join, it's full of news, races, meet ups and more. Just say your from Barnet in the request and I'll accept you.

Led by Damian and backed by Freya we headed to Northwold Rose Gardens to help Brian with some gardening. This was none of your weeding in the dark lark, our tasks for the evening were follows:

  1. Shovelling, wheelbarrowing and laying woodchip around hedges and trees.
  2. Emptying out three compost (curry flavoured) bins onto various plants to help keep it rich and well fed.

Splitting into small teams we got to work. Various tasks featured Skelton (Freya), BadGym Rep (Damian) and Death (Paul) - nice one for dressing up guys! Slightly terrifying...

Pyramid session IN the dark!

After 30 mins of spooky graft we were done and went to the dark tennis courts for a pyramid session - 1-2-1 for speed efforts with 1 minute recovery in between. Using the tennis court fences we could work out where we were.

Once we completed our 2km run back, we stretched and handed our treats (no tricks).

Sign up for next week here, I'm covering for Pennie again as she'll be recovering from NYC Marathon - good luck!

PB out
