Report written by Pritesh Mistry

Wow - you Haringey lot are tough! Eleven awesome runners braved the freezing temperatures and headed out to help clear up around Quernmore Road and Harringay Station running nearly 7km too!

After a rather extended intro talking the tenets of GoodGym, covering health and safety and all the other important things we headed off for our run to Harringay station. Sarah kindly took on the back-marker role and Dave and I seemed to mix it up in terms of leading the way. About half way we decided to split the group with some keener runners going ahead to get going on the tasks and to maximise the hills too!

Sweeps

Dave had met with the taskowner and the tasks had been divvied out. We had some serious topiary with Oisin, Liam, Rita and Carolyn taking this on. Then we had some general clearing with Latoya, Kapil and Dave helping and then we had our sweepers and scoopers: Sarah, Rebecca, Nurjehan and Rhiannon!

Scoops

After about half an hour of hard graft Sarah, Rebecca and Latoya headed off and the rest of us finished off the things we were doing. We posed for some group photos and then said goodbye to Oisin who lived just around the corner. We all headed back with Dave leading the way, Liam and Nurjehan leaving us along the route.

Leaves

Once back to base we all made sure we stretched, we talked about various opportunities for races, socials and more with Haringey and the wider GoodGym community.

Pennie should be back next week – thanks again for having me!

Cheers, Pritesh
