Regular Goodgymers Brenda and Sabera welcomed Joe to his first of many good deed sessions. We all assisted the Vauxhall community centre foodbank team with unpacking, sorting and packing several large food donations. Joe will also be running his first ever full marathon in 2 weeks in Lisbon, following his recent completion of 2025 Landmarks Half marathon. I'm sure you will join us, im wishing him all the best in his debut marathon.

A Clean Sweepโ€ฆ Well, Sort Of!!

Tuesday 14th October

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

This week, our magnificent crew of do-gooders traded their usual running routes for a different kind of marathon - the Great Garage Clear-Out of 2025! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿš๏ธ

We descended upon Myatts Fields to help Kim with a mission that would make Marie Kondo sweat: shifting a lifetime's worth of treasures (and let's be honest, some questionable "I'll definitely use this someday" items) from her Hackney collection out into the daylight for inventory! โ˜€๏ธ

The Task-master Lineup:

๐ŸŒŸ Fabian - Our brilliant newbie made their debut and swept us off our feet (literally - they were on broom duty)! Welcome to the gang, Fabian - you really cleaned up on your first mission! ๐Ÿงนโœจ

๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ The Usual Suspects: Ben, Michael, Dan, Paul, and Patrick brought their A-game, grabbing, sorting, and stacking like a well-oiled (albeit slightly dusty) machine!

๐Ÿฐ Adam - Our knight in shining apron stepped up when tragedy struck the Bake Off tent (no baker = no bakes ๐Ÿ˜ฑ). This absolute legend whipped up a gluten-free fruit cake AND brought Tupperware for transport. Adam, you really take the biscuit! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ‘‘

Mission Highlights: - โœ… Sorted everything into neat categories (playing real-life Tetris with decades of memories!) - โœ… Gave the garage a thorough sweep (though we're pretty sure the dust declared victory and staged a comeback) ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’จ - โœ… Proved that many hands make light work (even when that work involves heavy boxes!)

Another cracking evening of fitness, teamwork, and community spirit! Who knew cardio could involve this much carrying? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜„

Same time next week, GoodGym heroes? ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Getting fit, doing good, and occasionally getting dusty โœจ

Weed โ€™Em and Weep: A Tail of Barrows and Heroesโ€ ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜ข

Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! ๐Ÿ’š

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! ๐ŸŒฟ

The Dream Team ๐Ÿ‘

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. Youโ€™ve set the bar-row very high! ๐ŸŽ‰

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says โ€œwell doneโ€ like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). ๐Ÿช๐ŸคŽ

The Task ๐Ÿ’ช

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance ๐ŸฆŽ

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! ๐Ÿ‘‘

The Verdict โœจ

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’š
