A few GoodGym members came together to help a community Garden in Hampstead Garden suburb. Most of us gathered at the phoenix cinema for a chat and a warmup. A quick film club review during the warmup resulted in an eclectic mix of recommended films ranging from Bloodsimple to finding Nemo. ( please list your favourite films in the comments ) We then headed off through the back streets of East Finchley downhill to join mutton Brook and Littleton playing Fields. En route we stopped to do some squat kicks and some presses in the luscious grass. At Northway Gardens we met up with Kirsten, Cloud and Brian our Host. We set to work - this included scrubbing down the benches and deadheading the daffodils. This apparently improves the bloom next year. ( gardening TIP!) We then did a gentle breathing exercise with the injured Cloud ( wishing you a speedy recovery) before starting our run back to the Phoenix. We warmed down and some of us went for some refreshments in the cinema CAFE. ( now with a discount for a Good Gym members!) Please give a shout out to Kirsten on her 50th good deed.

thanks for coming, running, and doing good!

Mine was Bloodsimple by the Cohen Brothers. It’s a story about how people misunderstand each other.. in a very dramatic way.
