The rain has finally done one, so it was back to sunny running in Wandsworth last night, with 35 GoodGymers doing good!

• A huge welcome to Claire, Larissa, Claire, Joy, Helen and Sarah who all came for their first GoodGym group run last night!

But before we headed out for our task we did a round up of the week's news:

• This Saturday we have the monthly GoodGym long run - 16km or 10km along the Wandle Trail. Here are all the details you need

• GoodGym is taking over an aid station at the British 10K on Sunday 21st July from 7.30am - volunteers get a free place for the Oxford Half, Hackney Half or the next London 10K. Sign up here

Last night's run was one of a number of community events as part of the Great Get Together, inspired by Jo Cox, who in a parliamentary address said:

"We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us"

So as part of our session last night we celebrated kindness, respect and what we have in common by making a special effort to speak to somebody we haven't chatted to before. So, with this is mind, we headed outside for a warm up and to talk about all the good things we're looking forward to this week. Lots of lovely holidays, brunch, meeting up with friends, sleeping and BBQs happening!

After a 2km run to the Omnibus theatre, an independent charity which provides education and programs for local young and disadvantaged young people, we divided up into three groups. The biggest team headed round to the back of the building to tackle the massively overgrown garden, while the other two groups tackled window washing and sorting out the front garden. There was a lot to do, but as the organisation relies on volunteers and supporters to keep bringing the arts to the community, we worked hard for 40 minutes and the difference was huge.

After tidying up we jogged over to Clapham Common to do our fitness session, which focused on high intensity mixed with planks for our core. After partnering up, we hit a huge round of squats, frog jumps, burpees, and fast feet - all the old favourites!

Next week we have a two task week with a choice of a longer or shorter run - both to help local schools with various projects. Here are all the details.

If you can't wait until next Monday to get your GG fix, then there is a community mission this weekend in Battersea helping out at a community garden and war memorial. All welcome! Sign up here.

Have a happy week everybody!
