44 of you. 27 degrees. 5 tasks. Over 150 miles covered. Painting, digging, lifting, weeding, watering and of course running.

Here's the round up;

Team Papas were the magnificent three. And they were bloody magnificent, they might not have run anywhere due to injuries, but the girls laid down some serious work at Papas with as we commenced painting on the fence… harder than it looks with a brush the size of an Argos pencil. The flowers and plants of Papas also got watered, and given the weather I’m pretty sure they gave visible sighs of relief when the water hit their pots.

Team Wyck Garden ran a mile each way to help Loughborough Junction farm to do some serious digging. Lovely Anthea worried that the ground would be too hard, but our crack team made light work of the task much to everyone’s amazement. That was some serous muscle work kids… grrrrr

Team POP Brixton took a central run down to Shakespeare Road to pick up trees that had been donated to POP Brixton. They carried the adult trees (that means BIG) a kilometre to Brixton’s newest hot spot ready to be planted. In fact they did it so quick the new home wasn’t even ready for the trees. BEASTS… great work.

Team Portico Gallery took on the vixen that is Brixton Hill and a 5 mile run as they headed down to The Portico Gallery to help our wonderful friend John to move tables and put gravel into ballasts. When asked what the ballasts were for John explained they were for runners to put around their legs for strength training… then swiftly demonstrated. Oh John.

Team Nature Garden also got a good run with four miles in order to take on the jungle with some serious weeding and general tidying of the garden ready for a fate in a couple of weeks.

Great work guys… send me pictures!! (of the task. Not nuddy pics.. although…) in the meantime here's some Glastonbury shots of out runners and the lottery ticket that failed to pay out... next week kids.. next week.

Make sure you get your red T-shirt here … http://www.goodgym.org/membership_flow

Last night had more going on then an episode of Eastenders… we had 34 runners, three tasks, one mile time trials, killer circuits, cake, a black t-shirt for50 good deeds, a marriage proposal and even two old school friends reunited by pure coincidence at GoodGym Lambeth….

Whilst 16 runners stayed at Papa’s to help paint the fence of our wonderful meeting point they were not let off lightly with the running… each were sent out to run a mile (well just over) as fast as they could… a great effort was put in… there’s nothing I like more than seeing people come back looking absolutely spent.. and some very speedy times too. They were then rewarded for their hard work of painting and running with 10 minutes of brutal circuits afterwards… I just keep giving.

Here’s what went on at the other two tasks;

Brixton Youth Centre - Beth

We had two tasks to do at Brixton Youth Centre this week - one was the usual, brush and bag up the leaves to make the place look a bit more tidy and the other was to move all the stuff out of a garage, give it a sweep and put it all back a bit more neatly. It turned out this was the perfect task for new runner Kevin who’d actually bothered to read the bit on the website where it says you might want to bring a head torch. You’d be forgiven for thinking there might not be much need for it in June, but when Sarah shouted from inside the garage 'is there a light in here we can use?' Kevin became the hero with the flick of a head torch switch! With tasks completed we set off back to Papa's for circuits, painting and cake. Congratulations on reaching 50 Benson!

Holland Park Estate – Emma

A small group of us ran a little further down the road from Brixton Youth Centre to help Ameena with the Holland Park Estate gardens. After admiring the meadow that is now where we dug up all those weeds a few months ago, we were split into groups do some small weeding tasks (damn you, bindweed, we knock you back and you spring right back up again!). Once the bindweed had taken a good beating we moved onto some new tasks, weeding and digging areas on the edge of the main estate, near the road. Soil was turned, weeds were weeded, loads of really tall rapeseed was pulled up and some of us even managed to fit in planting new plants! Satisfied that we had done some good, we ran back in time for a spot of painting and cake made by Beth and Sarah. Delicious!
