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.

๐โโ๏ธ๐ช GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐โโ๏ธ๐ช
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! ๐ฆ๐๏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:
๐ 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! ๐งนโจ
๐ฆธโโ๏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!
๐ฐ Adam - Our knight in shining apron stepped up when tragedy struck the Bake Off tent (no baker = no bakes ๐ฑ). This absolute legend whipped up a gluten-free fruit cake AND brought Tupperware for transport. Adam, you really take the biscuit! ๐๐
Mission Highlights: - โ Sorted everything into neat categories (playing real-life Tetris with decades of memories!) - โ Gave the garage a thorough sweep (though we're pretty sure the dust declared victory and staged a comeback) ๐งน๐จ - โ 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? ๐ช๐
Same time next week, GoodGym heroes? ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ
Getting fit, doing good, and occasionally getting dusty โจ

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! ๐
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! ๐ฟ
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. Youโve set the bar-row very high! ๐
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 โwell doneโ like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). ๐ช๐ค
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!
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! ๐
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! ๐โโ๏ธ๐
