Sunday 26th January
Report written by Rachel Henry
Today was a day of many celebrations! We started out celebrating the sunshine from yesterday. A shame it didn't stick around today but we daren't ask too much from good old Britain do we?
Several of our crew had helped out at Hornfair Junior Parkrun, making it a double deed morning. Some of us ran to Mycenae where Fiona and crew met us to divvy up the tasks. We got busy weeding and lopping branches off the trees and replenishing the dead hedge and so much fun was had an hour flew by and it started to blow up a storm so we took this as our cue to go for a celebratory coffee and cake.
We donned our party hats and our happy birthday banner, celebrating GoodGym Greenwich's 9th birthday AND Khai's 50th good deed!
Today we hit 108 good deeds and 1,176km travelled for the January challenge - we've smashed our good deeds target but got 150km roughly to get to our kms target! It's gonna be close!
Khai wrote a poem to mark our birthday which it's fitting to leave us with:
We root for the Parkruns from start to finish
We meddle with deeds as the weeds diminish
We sweep city streets for trash cans and spillage
We run to repair our home town and village
A sail needs wind like a sailor needs spinach
Where would we all be without GoodGym Greenwich?
To all of our friends we cherish and adore
Cheers to nine years and to many, many more!
