It was a lovely sunny evening so we escaped from the noisy hall in Papa's to the outdoor space, which is still quite noise as there are many cars going by but Oh how lovely to ensure a different form of ear noise.

Tonight was Michael's 50th run - oh how we celebrated! Massive well done Michael. The other BIG NEWS was the Freyja had finally made a square egg with her Square Egg Maker - her Shit Prize of the Month award. Why one would want to make such an abomination it is unclear but John Hunter for one was certainly not on board.

It's an abomination! Said John Hunter.

We split the group into a shorter run to lovely Ruskin Park and a longer run to the Portico Gallery in West Norwood. Here's Tom B's report of what went down at Ruskin community gardens:

A crack team of 18 of us ran down to the south London hidden gem of Ruskin Park for an evening of gardening joy. We met Paula who introduced us to our patch. The garden itself is a cracking community space, which grows all manner of fruit and veg. Our mission - which we gladly accepted - was to weed two patches, cut a fine trench along one of them and tidy up a lovely round bed of plants that had become overrun. We set to task with vigor and pose and after 30 mins of good digging and forking by Joe we had ourselves some good-looking plots. Paula was delighted so all that was left was to take an extended shuffle around the park to get some banging views of our capital and then head back to papas. And if by magic we arrived when team portico were coming back too. A lovely evening and cracking task. Nice one team Ruskin's!

The rest of us headed up the mighty hill to West Norwood, which on a warm evening feels a lot longer and a lot harder than usual. John had some seriously organised chaos going on in the yard as all of the gazebos, sides and tarps were out after this month's West Norwood Feast. We had to move things from here to there and some things went over there, until the yard was looking more organised than chaotic. We all had to be very aware of the dangers of the old cement mixer somewhat inexplicably left slap bang in the middle of proceedings but everyone did very well.

And with that we all ran home and did some stretches and headed off into the night. Great work Lambeth!

The start of the week, much like Pancake Day, just creped up on us - but in Wandsworth that is the best day of the week! And it was made even better last night at our GoodGym run with some lovely GG tourism from Barnet, Lewisham and Lambeth and with four excellent runners making their GoodGym debut! Welcome to the gang Halina, Vanessa and Katherine. Give them a cheer, team!

We also had ace Anji, trainer for the newest GoodGym area, Newcastle, choose Wandsworth for her first every GoodGym run which is pretty excellent. Watch this space for news from our most northerly group!

It was a big well done for David, who ran his way to a new half marathon PB in Worthing at the weekend, and we had a fantastic milestone to celebrate as Matthew officially got his wings with his 100th good deed. Way to go!

If you needed any more inspiration after all that running and do gooding news, we had Stephen from Lewisham share his inspirational story, telling us how he has gone from being new to London and able to run for five minutes, to completing two marathons and making a whole new group of good friends. Lovely stuff!

Heading outside for our warm up we marked Pancake Day by naming our favourite toppings. Nutella hit the top spot, with the classic lemon and sugar following not far behind, with more exotic ingredients including bacon and maple syrup and apricot jam.

Hungrier, we set off for our run, which was probably one of the shortest ever at only half a mile. Our task tonight was at Providence House, an amazing youth club which aims to support young people as individuals, to provide a safe and nurturing environment and is open to everybody without discrimination or judgment. If you want to get more involved with this brilliant organisation by volunteering more or in any other way, they are always looking for help so drop the lovely Nina a note at Nina.providencehouse@gmail.com. For last night though, our job was to give the place a massive clean. The incredibly organised Nina had prepared an extensive list of jobs which included mopping and sweeping allt he halls, cleaning up outside, giving the kitchen and media room a good seeing to, and clearing a cupboard for a new fridge which will store food that would otherwise be wasted. Phew!

We were kindly loaned the use of the sports hall for our fitness session and so avoided the cold and mud (this time!), and so as soon as we had finished all the jobs, we got stuck into a mammoth circuits session followed by a few core exercises thrown in for good measure. Waving goodbye to Providence House we could have called it a night there, but instead decided to smash out a few hill reps, concentrating on a couple of technical form points. That was us well and truly done, but not with out a few stretches. All the fun must have gone to my head as I gave you a bit of misinformation for next week - we're not actually going to a school, but to a disability centre to help sort out their outside areas and wash windows. You'll still need your head torches, so bring them along if you can and sign up here. Enjoy those pancakes, people!

12 speed demons came and conquered a pucker paper-chase and terrific track attack!! That's GG Brent all over October! Pow Pow!

It was smiles all round at base camp Queensbury with 10 glorious Gyals and 2 gorge Guys making up the numbers this eve!

Bringing the fire was Girl Power Hour and flexing for the females was: Clairey-Bell, Mouse, Dimple, Liz, Coralie, Eliza, Beth and sister sledge tabs and debs!

Repping for the fellas and back for his second week running was Crossfit Kid Lucas in his newly adorned GG red tee. Which by the way was suitably spray on to flex off his Olympic lift traps! And Looking just as macho in his signature yellow threads was resident king pin, all the guys love him (okay well maybe just Colin) devilishly daring Dinesh!! Woo!

So with all our wonder women at the ready and gumption gushing from the guys, we sped out for the night, for leaflet paper chasing all the way to Willesden Track!

After successfully slamming the high road with all the goodgym vibes, we arrived at destination pain on the lanes, oh no wait I mean fun delightfully good times lanes..... To be fair, it was probably a bit of both depending on who you ask! But actually proof that so much fun was had was that only 3 photos were taken!!!

So once we'd mobilised and warmed up joints with a few drills and spills, it was down to big business and that was some laps!! 200m sprints to begin followed by 400m timed splits!! Now me being nice only asked the team for 2 sets of each, however Clairey-bell reminded me that in goodgym Brent days of old, there was a 12 lap session once upon a time!! I think I'll be bring that back some time soon!!

**Oh yes..... watch this space, get the stop watch ready for some time and punishment at the next sesh!

So after my team wiped the floor with my timer each one achieving feats of absolute glory, we bashed out 5mins of core blimey can you feel your abs yet, before setting off for a cool down jog back to base.

What an awesome night, where we all took flight, to task and good deed and thrash some speed!!

See you next time!!!

DO GOOD. FEEL GOOD. INSPIRE!
