What a beautiful evening to run around the parks of Ealing to get fit and do good!
18 of us out in force including two new runners, big welcome to Louise and Paolo!
A bit of a hiccup with our task last night meant we could see the job that needed doing but the tools we needed had been locked away. Did that mean we just went home?! Hell no! Instead we did a great interval session in the glourious evening sunshine, we partnered up and around a set loop of the park did intervals switching between hard effort and recovery every time you passed your partner. We did 2x5 minutes and everyone looked suitably knackered by the end. Great work everyone!
So that was the 'Gym' part but what about the 'Good', we needed something to earn a good deed...
Improvised litter picking it was! We decided to get on board with the 2 minute street clean and all ran off in different directions around the park picking up as much litter as we could find. Parks in the summer attract a lot of extra litter as unfortunately sometimes people don't always take their rubbish home with them after enjoying a nice picnic. Not to worry GoodGym to the rescue! A good little haul was found and we all distributed it into the relevant recycling or rubbish bins.
Great job everyone, we earned the trip to pub afterwards! Thanks for sharing my birthday with me :)
