What a lovely bunch for a Sunday morning session at the fantastic Grove Adventure Playground.

After arriving and welcoming totally fresh runners Ashleigh, Domhnall, Sam, Catherine and Anna to the fold, we got straight to task with Nick showing us our jobs with a lovely whiteboard-ful of instructions.

Forgive me if I get this wrong (lots of new names...);

Phil, Samuel, Abi, Ashleigh and Hannah were on woodchip duty, moving a massive pile and raking it for a soft landing!

Becca and Latoya were cleaning the kitchen shelves

Pippa, Rosanna and Cat were brushing the wood to seal it.

Paul, Anna, Stefan, Domhnall and Sam were moving loads of logs into a new wood pile

While Jenny and Katie were sweeping and mopping the hall floor.

PHEW

Everyone mucked in to a banging soundtrack provided by Nick and we were done in no time.

After grabbing some bags of apples(!), we sauntered round to a nearby park for some fitness focussed drills. First up a quick FAB (forward, arms, balloon) jog and then a draining game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

DO GOOD, GET FIT. ☄️

Nice one gang. Here are the links to our next couple of runs:

• Tuesday evening’s group run

• Saturday’s Windmill community mission

GG Lambeth had all guns blazing last night, smashing out a solid few k and blitzing a couple of tasks for Brixton Road Youth Centre.

Totally fresh to GoodGym we had Lucy, Raina, Anna and Nadia - WELCOME!

After a quick headcount we split into 2 groups - Nicky leading the long route and the rest of us heading direct.

When we arrived, Sharon gave us the low down and showed us where the gear was kept.

We had two tasks:

🍂 Collecting leaves into bags

🛋 Shifting chairs from one lock-up to another

But the brains of GoodGym Lambeth decided on some extra bonus tasks to make the place look even better:

🥦Scraping up moss

🌱Pulling up weeds

And in fact everyone did such a good job that Sharon had to go and buy even more bags.

When all was bagged up, we took a quick snap and headed back for some truly scrumptious bakes from Katie and her killer brownies, Tim and his beautiful cinnamon swirls, Tom with a bakewell tart & some seriously excellent pastry and Freyja with some deeeeelicious cookies.

Nice one Lambeth! 🤙

I'm away for a few weeks but Nicky will be leading next week, with a run to help out at the lovely Agnes Riley Gardens - Sign up here!!
