Don't Go Raking My Grass

Massive welcome to Celia, Tim and Marina for joining us for their first GoodGym run. Ace to have you guys along!

Tonight we had two run options to two of our regular tasks; The Portico Gallery and Ruskin Park Community Garden.

Half of us took a leisurely 2k jog to Ruskin Park, where Justin and Huseyin greeted us and armed us with equipment to help with a few jobs:

• De-weeding a bed of lettuce and onions 🌱

• Sawing/breaking branches into firewood 🌲

• Raking up a load of grass cuttings 🌾

LETTUCE BEGIN 🥬

We cracked on, switching up who was doing each task but Michael staying strong on the sawing throughout! And today’s task was an absolute treat with most of us taking home some onions and lettuce from the vegetable patch!

ON(ION)REAL

Once we were done, Freya treated us to one of her Drama games in the park - a game of jumping tag but where you can only jump when the person(s) who are ‘it’ jump. Obviously in full GoodGym-style we added a mean muscle testing twist - remaining in a squat position the whole time.

It was a fun one and definitely a serious thigh burner! 🔥

Nicky led the other half of the group up the hill to the Portico Gallery where John had a few simple jobs of some table stacking, tarpaulin folding and rubbish removal which everyone got done in time for a fitness sesh in Brockwell Park! Thanks to our John for leading that 👌

Awesome work everyone!

Next week we’ve got another couple of tasks: creating a human conveyor belt for some bags of soil with Urban Growth or you can stick around and (hopefully!) paint the bench at PAPA’s Park. Sign up here.
