26 Camdenites ran between 5-10km to help Abbey Community Centre and Cecil Sharp House

No newbies this week but lots of lovely people as always - thanks for coming as always.

In the news this week:

  1. This month's long run is on Sunday 24th June with either 11km or 16km options - all details here
  2. Danny is organising volunteering for the British 10km, with a GG team taking over an aid/water station - in return you'll get a free entry for a Virgin Event. See full details here
  3. Kat is organising track sessions at the Regents Park Track every Thursday from tomorrow. Meeting for 6.30pm and starting the session from 6.45pm.
  4. Well done to Chris Howson who hit 200 good deeds last night, Chris has been coming to GoodGym Camden for nearly 5 years and has made a huge difference in that time.

After the intro we set Pritesh's group off early to head the 5km out and back to help Abbey Community Centre with watering the garden. The group got the work done in amazingly quick time and enjoyed the run up Primrose Hill - nice views :)

Folking around

The rest of us headed to Cecil Sharp House to do our monthly gardening for the home of English Folk Music. The venue has a big event in the gardens at the weekend so our work focused on making sure everything was tidy and weed-free.

We split into two teams with one looking after the garden and walkway entrance and the other group taking care of the car park. The weeds had nowhere to go but in bags for mulching :)

A beautiful and very tame Robin joined us by flying and bouncing around all the activity. Over 30 minutes we did what is equivalent to 10 hours work for Susannah - she is very appreciative of our efforts.

Before heading home we did x3 hill sprints up Primrose Hill to focus on building our strength and aerobic base.

Thanks all as always!

Sign up next week here when we will be helping Sheltered Housing.
