Hammersmith and Fulham Report written by Paul Bown
12 fabulous Hammersmith & Fulhamites ran 4km & gardened for Maystar Estates
Welcome to newbies this week - Ele, Georgia, Amber and Anders - lovely to have you along and join the GG crew!
In the news this week:
After a quick intro and a dynamic warm up we headed into the night, bouncing off the main road and into the backstreets. We met Pauline from Maystar Estates - she explained that they now have to look after their gardens and deliver activities alone because of council cuts.
We were eager to get started, armed with tools we did the following:
With 25 minutes of hard work we'd made a huge impact; something many of the communities residents would not have been able to do alone. If you think about it we achieved nearly 6 hours of work between us in one Spring evening!
File Fun!
After doing squats, star jumps and squat jumps to warm up again we headed west to the river for our extended run home. Once on the towpath we played the Indian File game - with one person sprinting at all times - everyone did amazingly!
Upon arriving home we stretched out and chatted about the GG Olympics!
Sign up next week here, Polly will be back!
PB out.

Steph Robson has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Steph is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Hammersmith and Fulham Report written by Polly Skeats-Beswick
We started the night off with a quick round up of the task ahead, an invite to have pancakes after next week’s run and hello to new runner Steph. After that, we headed outside for a good, old warmup in the drizzle.
Round two *ding ding *
This week we were heading back to Hurlington Academy to help finish off painting one of their sports hall. We had manage to paint half last week and this week we needed to finish off the other half... with half the amount of runners.
That didn’t hold us back
With a prompt start and speedy run there, we got there in good time to get 30mins of solid painting in. Everyone grab a roller, a spot of wall and got started straight away. Ellie sorted the wood work this week with a brush and Jason went up the scaffolding platform to do the tops of the walls.
The walls were completed in no time, so we tidied up and said our final farewells to Ian the business manager and headed back.
A good run out for everyone despite the rain and cold. Lovely stuff.
