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

Islington Report written by Paul Bown
33 Goodgymers ran between 6-8km to collect Christmas trees and move tons of soil for St Lukes Community Centre!
Welcome along to the newbies - Amy, Fiona and Anita - thanks for coming along guys.
In the news this week:
- GG Starter Session next Saturday - bring your friends!!
- Also people from GG Islington are doing Finsbury Park Parkrun on 26th February if you'd like to join.
- There is a Community Mission helping Crouch End Open Spaces this Sunday, it ends with an epic picnic - come along :)
Woah it's our 4th birthday and we had a huge turnout! We started the evening by singing happy birthday to ourselves ha - nice!
Thank you very much for coming last night and over the last four years to GG Islington; it means a lot to me, the first trainer Simon and GoodGym Central. We've done lots of good in that time (over 5900 good deeds) and have run really far! Well done!
Last night we had two tasks:
Christmas tree collection:
James led a team of 10 people to Barnsbury area to collect up Christmas tree's, after last week's epic 125 tree's (arguably a GG record) and all the Islington Council pickups it was going to be a proper hunt!
Having running around the streets in Barnsbury and Caledonian Road areas the team collected a lovely 10 tree's to be sent over for recycling.
St Lukes - Earth Move:
After a 3km run down hill we arrived to help the wonderful St Lukes Community Centre, there were 23 of us to help and get stuck in!
The task was big but simple, the aim was to empty two huge planters of soil, then move those planters to their new positions outside the new shed! It took over 30 minutes to empty the planters of soil and the logs weighing them down; filling wheelbarrows, pots and tubs with soil. Meanwhile teams moved large garden pots and cleaned up.
One of those BIG TASKS!
Once the soil was emptied the next logistical challenge was moving the planters, this involved strength and smarts - luckily you guys had both! After they were moved we quickly refilled them with all the soil.
We returned home for a stretch, bourbon biscuits and a pub birthday party which included a quiz!
Thanks for coming everyone!
Sign up for next week here when we'll be helping the Met Police and Waterside Adventure Playground.
