18 GoodGymers met on a summer's evening to water plants, dig soil, play a tag drill game and run 4km!
With Joel away in France eating desserts Paul Bown (Camden Trainer) stepped in to cover. There was a lot of good and gyming to do but before that we talked about that the news:
Okay onto to GoodGyming; after an active warm up we headed off to Hackney Downs to help HUG, a new organisation, that is helping to create a community garden space in the area, you can find them on facebook here.
We met the lovely Myra who runs the project and she gave us our tasks for the evening, which were:
Tasks galore!
All the tasks are incredibly important for the growth and sustainability of the garden project space. Well done everyone! Great work!
After a group picture we said our goodbyes to Myra and headed around the corner to do a tag drill game! It involves an individual demonstrating a drill to the group and then everyone does the exercise during the time the individual is running an out and back. It's harder to write down than explain/demonstrate in person but it worked fantastically; we had squat jumps, pushups, mountain climbers, star jumps and more.
Drills, drills and oh some drills
So we had taken care of the good and the gym so it was time for more GYM! We ran 2.2km back around some back streets and through London Fields, despite living in Hackney for about 8 months I still don't know it well enough - thanks for helping with the directions guys.
Finally we did some stretches, felt good about doing good and said "see you soon!"
Joel's back next week, and you are off to Hackney Elderly Caribbean organisation to help with some painting, sign up here.
PB out.

14 runners crossing a borough (again) to clear hedges & weeds at Surrey Docks Farm.
Finally, the rain cleared and the mugginess came back for us to run across into the shadow of Canary Wharf to the lovely farm. After bobbing and weaving down Rye Lane and waiting for a lot of green men, we eventually, and rather sweatily, made it to meet Gemma. She had already gotten to work with a chain saw on the hedge along the Thames Path and we were to clear it.
Lots of glove matching and hoeing later and we were filling wheelbarrows with green stuff. Zoe took the challenge of jumping on the compost heap to crush it down.
Trampoline time!
After almost no time, we had to pack away. Luckily, we got to walk passed all of the animals we'd seen last time. The tallest goats in the world were hiding. too much height pressure the beautiful calf was looking much more grown up. Esther, the pregnant sow was due to give birth on Monday. We watched with baited breath for her to...
go to the toilet...
No piglets tonight but it was still lovely to see all of the animals and work somewhere so amazing in the shadow of the concrete jungle.
A few press ups, tricep dips and wall sits later and we were back at Old Spike.
A decent crew of us made our way over to The Rye pub for some food and much needed fluids.
Lovely stuff GoodGym Southwark. Until next week.
