Another solo group run unfortunately due to a late cancellation, I went on a little scout around Ravenscourt Park to clear up any mess.

Got a few bottles and other bits and bobs so hopefully less plastic finds its way into the ecosystem!

A particularly chilly Saturday morning saw three Goodgymmers link up to tackle bind weed that was infecting the hedges surrounding Fulham Palace.

Digging out the roots gave us a very good idea of how hard it is to get rid of the weed once its got itself established, needing continually cutting back and its so hardy it must be kept separate from standard compost!

Thanks to Michelle and Chris for coming by!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to cheer today for the amazing runners doing such an iconic achievement.

More importantly we celebrate all of the amazing goodgymmers who undertook the marathon, it is an incredible feat to start one let alone finish one and you should all be so proud of yourselves!

Bit shout-out to Bethan Critchley jumping in at Mile 12 as a supporter helping runners around the course! What a superstar you are!

I've already listed the cheer party for next year. You can sign up here who knows, if you enter the ballot for next year perhaps it'll be you we are cheering on ;)

I continued a one man mission to reduce the alkanet population at Loris community gardens, they must think some weird alkanet-based fairy keep emerging and filling their bins!

A successful solo mission tonight with a quick run as well before hand on tired legs still not fully recovered from the marathon!

Loss of weeding and planting and waving hello at the local dogs 😊

Lovely to be in Loris Gardens again.

Took a fork and went to work digging out a lot of the blue alkanet that had taken over some of the beds.

Also got to see a tawny mining bee (pictured) taking a break on one of the leaves. This is a solitary bee species that only emerges April to May time, so a good way of knowing that spring has sprung upon us.

A lovely time out in the Sun, capped off either side by a little run to try and get some fitness back!
