James Hal has done their first good deed with GoodGym.

James is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

The Pennie has finally dropped!

Haringey Report written by Pennie Varvarides

Last night was my final run leading GG Haringey. After 3 (or 4, who really knows) wonderful years as a GoodGym trainer, it's time to hang my hat and take leave.

And what a wonderful way to go!

17 fabulous GG runners joined me for my final run (18 on task), with a couple of extra showing up for the after party at Blighty! Including GG tourists Patrick and Dharmesh (who wanted to say goodbye even though we'd not met before, which was extra lovely!) and bonus guest James, who saw us at Tottenham Green and decided to join the group in pulling weeds!

You all rock!

We started with an easy warm up in front of base, followed by the Burpee Name Game. Rita and Kapil decided I should do all of the burpees, which I never really got them back for later. Hopefully you all continue with some burpees every day in my memory =p

We then did the long lap round to our task over the road.

It was great to return to Tottenham Green for the last time to help Laura with many many tasks with our very large group.

The largest group in fact we've had all year!

Larger than last week's group, which was the last largest!

I hope the momentum continues!

We broke down furniture, pulled weeds, swept leaves and litter picked all around the garden bit and surrounding green space.

You can get a lot done in 30 minutes when there are so many pairs of hands.

We then took some team photos and said our goodbyes, before heading to the town hall for my final fitness session.

Julie requested the ninja game, so we started with some knee tag (though Ninja Tag is a way better name, thanks!), followed by various other partner games, including jumping, burpees, press ups, pulling and pushing.

Once everybody looked sufficiently knackered, we had a final sprint back to base for stretches, millions of high fives and a gentle stroll over to Blighty.

Hazel and Chi joined us for some eating, both of whom are GoodGym famous, as well as Raphael who saw the group by chance and tagged along for funsies.

All in all a very successful turn out.

We then basically overwhelmed the Blighty guys with our many orders and then ate such delicious food. It's my new favourite place. Definitely going to go back again (and again, and again).

After much good chat and good food I was treated to a wonderful surprise!

I am super greatful to all the wonderful people who got me a card and presents and hugs and even dinner.

It's been such an honour leading you and I hope to see you again some time.

I've sorted you out with your next two tasks and am leaving you in Chi's capable hands until your new trainer starts. Be nice to him. And the new guy. I hope he makes you do regular burpees too.

You did get us back! Those were some forceful high fives!
