On a muggy summer's evening, three of Goodgym Redbridge's finest met to run to the Forest Recycling Project and ran 7km in the process.

The Forest Recycling Project has been a regular haunt of the past two years and it's a place guaranteed to give us a task just a little bit messier than any others. This week the group embarked on the 3.5km run over to the site in Leytonstone to paint the floor of the kitchen and toilet. With just a small group the run took no time at all and before long the team were sweeping the floor, pouring paint onto the concrete and spreading it around - by the way, pouring paint straight onto the floor is oh-so-satisfying!

With James and Stefania painting the kitchen and Peter doing the toilet the team were soon done and off back down the road bumping into Goodgym's very own Ed who was out on his own eBay mission!

Fancy getting involved? We've got a cracking task painting the metal work at Wanstead House Community Association. You can sign up using the link on the right of the report.
