This week 11 wonderful GoodGym-ers ran 2km to clear litter from the nearby green

The plan was originally to help at an allotment, but due to unforseen circumstances they couldn't use us this evening.

Plan B was to strip paint at Kori, but the tools were not in my bag, so we moved on to plan C: litter pick the green

Lots of new faces this week (to me), including GG newbie Chloe - give her a cheer!

We quickly warmed up in front of base with some single leg work, skipping and the burpee name game, before heading off on an extended lap of the block

We collected some litter pickers and bin bags and split into teams collecting rubbish from the bushes

All sorts were found, including the usual vodka bottles, tins and a solitary shoe

After 25 solid minutes we put all our rubbish in the bins or recycling, returned our tools and had a quick round of a circuit to get everybody warmed back up

Burpees, squats, pushups, vertical mountain climbers and planks. Before finishing with a quick game of duck duck goose (which decended into some unexpected chaos in the end)

The group then semi sprinted back to base for stretches and high fives

Next week Chi is incharge. He'll be b leading the group to chestnuts park for some mulching and other green tasks while I'm away at a wedding.

I just realised I didn't take a group photo this evening! But there is a video of duck duck goose on my Instagram stories, if you wanna see everyone running around
