Thursday evening guided run at the Emirates. Guides in huge numbers vs the VI Runners. I set off early with Tom as he wanted to try and do his 10km. I guided Tom and coached Marcus as his first session. them midway I handed the guiding to Marcus for him to start run guiding. we then finished with a 400 meter sprint as Tom s speciality. great session for all who turned up tonight .

Thank you to everyone who attended today's parkrun meetup at Mile End parkrun. It was a joy to catch up with Goodgymmers from all boroughs, regulars from our Achilles International UK guide running sessions (shout out to VI runners Chris, Charles, Jack and Naqi and their guides) and members of Track and Towpath Run Club. It was very special, and I really appreciate it!

(I have included a photo from my very first parkrun - Gladstone Park, Willesden Green, 11th January 2013!)

An absolute joy to run with the wonderful Achilles International UK team tonight. Our crew of guides and VI athletes produced some excellent training at Paddington Rec Track. Especially impressive to see our Big Half participants running strong, and first time guides (like Rue) getting stuck in.

We return to Emirates Stadium (Arsenal tube station) next Thursday!

Five GoodGymers started the week off with some much appreciated bush maintenance and leaf raking in what felt like a real changing of the seasons task.

Steph Ducat did an amazing job at cutting back a bush and we managed to fill quite a few bags worth of branches and leaves.

The summer might be over, but there was a bumper turn out for the last Hyde Park session of the season. A glorious evening of guide running and walking around one of London’s best parks, watching the sun setting over the Serpentine.

Not a new formation, but my way of remembering this week's shopping for Mr M as he prefers to dictate what he wants at his front door and I don't have time to note it all down. There was a special offer on the soup (3 requested), so I got him 4 for nearly the price of 3, which he seemed pleased about. I've kept this week's list on my phone in case next time is a new round of memory game...
