Something Inkredible
15 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help their local community in Barnet.

Week 49! With one week until our birthday, 15 GG-ers gathered at the Phoenix to run 6km for Stephen's House and Gardens.
We were joined by GG newbie Ray – give him a cheer!
This week's task was organised by Paul, who volunteers with Stephen's House and Gardens. He lead us to the task, for which we flyered along the way, and collected the tools ready for us to use.
It was a real speedy run tonight, with the front group running around a 5 min/km and the back group running 5.30 min/km.
We were quick to work to, pulling all the weeds from around the tree – and litter picking the area – all in 20 minutes. Leaving plenty of time for Paul to take us on a quick tour of the grounds. We're very lucky in Barnet with all the lush green spaces we get to run through. Not seen anything like it in any of the other boroughs I've run in!
We had a quick play on some of the equipment, which we incorporated into a circuit, before the park closed. Paul then lead us home, with Freya my trusty back-marker.
Next week is our birthday. Tell your friends, bring biscuits, sign up here. Let's try and get as many people along as possible!
Props to Paul for this week's pun.
This week's Barnet Biscuit was some kind of chocolate creme filled chocolate sandwhich
