Easter Sunday and Goodgym had an egg-stra special Easter mission at Acton Junior Parkrun : all ran to the Park to welcome children between 4 to 14 years old. We had loads of Junior Parkrun eggs-pert today : Florian and Alan were on tokens, Chikako was a Guide runner, Jon and Steph Ducat were marshals. What an egg-citing day for the children as eggs were given out at the finish line.We had some fast runners today and some parents were just eggs-hausted trying to keep up with them. There was enough eggs for all the children, some parents and the volunteers : we now need to eggs-ercise off all this chocolate.Happy Easter everyone.

There was a late change of plan for the GoodGym Hounslow gang tonight. Not only were we Ana-less, as she was off celebrating her birthday (the cheek of it), but our task at Chiswick House had been cancelled. Fortunately, Romina from Cultivate London had a GoodGym shaped task lined up at Acton Junior School…

… And the task turned up to be a load of cr#p!

Quite literally - Romina had a fresh delivery of horse manure delivered from our friends at the Ealing Riding School, and our job for the evening was to shovel the sh#t from the middle of the playground where it had been dumped, into sacks to be moved and used in the local community gardens.

‘Man-ure going a good job’

Armed with shovels, forks, buckets and sacks, we got stuck into that pile of poop, showed that team work can make the dream work, even if the task is a bit sh#tty! We manure-vered the mound, we dung deep and we cleared the school’s stools.

When Poo become One

*I need some gloves like I’ve never needed gloves before… * and probably a good shower when I get home. We somehow did a crap-solutely great job of moving all the poop from its pile into neat sacks of sh#t instead. Even with all the horsing around going on, Romina was amazed that we had finished the task. Number two? We were definitely her number ones here!

After a round of high fives and a ‘stank poo thank you’ later, Chris led the runners back to the pub for a well deserved hand wash, and some brownies courtesy of Will.

Poo-tiful work tonight Gang, well dung all of you, and a Happy-not-crappy birthday to our lovely Ana!
