Despite the cold and resisting the lure of a Saturday lie in, it was a starter session for three in Battersea Park this morning. A huge well done and welcome to Alex and George!
After a quick chat we took a nice steady jog over to a local project - the beautiful rooftop Doddington and Rollo community garden where Alex and George were set to work cleaning down the poly tunnels. After a good scrub they were sparkling. The next job was woodchipping - while Alex rocked a pair of safety googles and set to it, we discovered that George was allergic to woodchip, but soldiered through like a hero.
It was over to Battersea Park for our fitness session next, and with one GoodGymer hitting a fast shuttle run, the other knocked out a strengthening and conditioning exercises. There was no time to let our heart rates drop before swapping round again. Fantastic work guys!
With a few stretches we finished our taster session, ready for the group runs - every Monday from the Battersea Arts Centre at 6:45. See you there!
