Tonight we ran 3km from Old Spike to the Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We were met by Ian and were put to work clearing ivy away from the path. It looked a lot better but the time we were finished. As a reward we played a game of touch rugby after which was a lot of fun. Before we left Ian treated us to mini rolls to fuel us for our run back to Peckham.

On Saturday morning, James, David and I went to Kennington to help out at a friendly neighbourhood garden. Unfortunately their wasn't enough of it to do some the heavy listing work planned, so instead we helped with some pruning and gave the garden a general tidy. Within two hours, the garden already looked a lot better. So we agreed to call it a day and headed off to the rest of our bank holiday weekend plans. Meanwhile, we'll be back on a group run to do the lifting instead.

7 Goodgym Southwark members ran off on a slightly chilly Wednesday night to Elmington Community Garden...

We arrived, and were met by Mansur, Sam, Lindy and Jessie who joined us at the task. Together we hauled woodchip to three different parts of the Elmington Estate, making sure the soil stays moist in this dry spring and stopping the growth of new weeds.

For those that did run to and from Old Spike, Nathan had bought some sweet treats back from Colombia - que bueno Señor Wood!
