16 work in Harmony

16 Goodgymers took to the street, ran 4k and blitzed a task for Harmony Gardens

Big shouts out to, Rachel who smashed her first GoodGym run and task. Give her a cheer folks!

First time for everything

This week I was running behind schedule after my flight from Berlin to London was delayed. I was super grateful that Dashing Dave was able to keep the crew warm while I locked up my bike. We then got to it with a quick briefing and we were off into the night.

Harmony Gardens

This week we headed over to a task we had planned to attend a few weeks back. We were looking forward too getting stuck in for an old friend at a new site. The run to the Lordship Rec was a nice one with a steady pace that lead us to a gradual hill climb before descending into Broadwater Farm Estate where we would then veer off into the Harmony Gardens site.

The task

We arrived at a very dark site, which we were able to brighten up with our headlamps and torches before being greeted by a very smiley Sandy who we had not seen for a while. Sandy used to be in charge at a task we would regularly attend over at Living Under One Sun allotments. Sandy is now looking after the Harmony Gardens site and very much looked forward to having us along to help out again. We were tasked with gathering pieces of wood and some pallets that were spread across the site and stacking them neatly along with moving a load of tables - stacking those and separating large twigs and sticks from a compost pile. The group split up accordingly and made light work of the tasks at hand. We were out of time before long and began to gather tools before a round of high fives and our return journey.

Fitness session

We did some Tabata for this weeks fitness session and it consisted of walk out planks, burpees, squat thrusts, and star jumps. This was challenging but everyone did really well to get through it and there was some great camaraderie among the group.
