Paint No Stopping Us Now

What's the Latin for 'we came, we saw, we painted, we struggled to work out our left from our right, we dreamed of capybaras farms, we conquered'? Actually, you're alright.

Make. Some. Noise!

Mai and Kandy joined us for their first Goodgym Haringey run tonight and they took to it like ducks to water. Make some noise for them! Also, special shout out to Sarah, who soldiered on with a hurt wrist and grafted like a woman possessed much to the health and safety supervisor's chagrin. Woop!!

A Night At The Hall

I'm not going to lie, it wasn't a promising start to the evening. It was dark. It was raining. Frankly, it was cold too. And yet, one by one, the humble heroes of this saga slowly started drifting in, with a spring in their step and a smile on their lips.

Yea, 10 wonderful GoodGymmers came and warmed up under the drizzle of this wintery night by laughing and nominating each other for burpees.

And, lo, down they hurried towards the Chestnuts Park Community Centre where a hall awaited them, prepped to be painted.

And paint it they did, reader. Paint it they did, alright.

Our GoodGymmers scrubbed, cleaned, and painted. After about 40 minutes, we had managed to leave the hall looking gorgeous after a very thorough first coat of paint. And we left with the promise of a prompt return to finish the task.

We managed to sneak in a fitness session in the newly-painted hall too and we played Lunge Opposites. I know, you had to be there. It was fun, though!

Then we ran back to HQ in a huddle, fulfilled with the satisfaction of the job well done. Goodgym at its best, if I say so myself.

See? Heroes!

Next week we'll be making a Kids Centre Super-Duper-Scary by dressing it up for Halloween. We agreed to dress up ourselves so I'll be bringing loads of vegan-friendly sweeties and the best costumes will get extra sweeties. Come!!
