On the 20th anniversary of Oasis famous Knebworth gig, nine GoodGymers set off to water the plants, weed, and generally tidy up at the ace Oasis Green Gym. Given the obvious overlap (was it always meant to be!?), copious badly-inserted puns and references will follow. You have been warned.
Starting off from Westminster with a crowd slightly smaller than the 250,000 at Knebworth (though it felt like more on Oxford Street!), we gently slid away, before giving it all we had, dodging and diving through the crowds to arrive at the garden in good time. There was, of course, a mandatory sprint around Bedford Square. Great times from everyone which we subsequent smashed on the way back - cos tonight we were rock n roll stars. And Sally had to wait. Obviously.
At the task we watered, weeded, and tidied to keep the garden looking alive and fresh for another day! Some expert watering technique on display from all - maybe, just maybe, we're gonna be the ones that saves them (plants). Massive congrats also to all for not falling (or jumping!) in the pool!
On the way back we mixed it up again with MORE progression intervals around Bedford Square, where everyone put in a massive effort and improved on their previous times - faster than a cannon ball! Cruising back all the roads we had to run were winding, but this was more than made up by meeting a new wrinkled furry friend - a Shar Prei dog! Rumours that he will become the official GoodGym Westminster dog can neither be confirmed nor denied.
Some nice stretches to cool down, a good Wednesday 5k down, and we were done! GoodGym: come for the running and good-doing, stay for the dogs and Oasis puns. Some might say, at least. Til next time!
*Big shout-out to Mel who suggested the title for this run report!

Meanwhile at GoodGym Westminster we headed south to Vauxhall bridge road to Small Works. Small works is a community organisation that offers work and event space at a very low cost for other community organisations and social enterprises. Our task? To give a few of their walls a fresh lick of paint.
Now due to heat and the ever alluring pull of the local public convenience and near by parks we were a little low on the ground BUT boy oh boy did our little pack of 6 put in some work.
A quick brief on our task and health and safety and we were off.
A 4K tempo through the capitals finest parks and busiest streets led us strait to our task.
We were greeted by the lovely Juliet who told us all about small works and how much of difference our help was making.
We grabbed our paint and our brushes and we were off. 30 mins to paint the main room, the back room and a tiny lil wall round back.
Did we do it? Of course we did, was Juliet happy? More like over joyed lol.
With paint all over our faces we said our goodbyes and we were off.
Till next time, hopefully it we didn't see you last night we'll see you next week.
