What a brilliant run and task last night. With the evening been a little chilly we was in need of a good tough task to get us warm and warm it got us. We ran out from Crooklog to Welling Library to do an outside clean up. The inside of the library was being refurbished so it was our job at Goodgym Bexley to make sure the outside looks as good as the inside. We had two flower beds to weed and soil to turn over for the new plants that will be arriving for us on our next visit in a few weeks time. We also got to work on the side alley. This was tough. Loads of prickly weeds and growth and a few large spiders were also thrown in the mix. The admiration and comments from passers by was definitely very positive, although a couple did think we were serving out our community service :-)

As we were coming to the end of our task time i couldn't believe the progress we had made on the side alley. It looked totally different. I was really very proud of our Goodgym crew for smashing this task in the time we had. Talking about time...... It was now time to pack away our tools get our task victory photos done and get ourselves back to Crooklog. Oh, but this couldn't happen without the compulsory Welling Football Club Sit Off challenge with the win having to be shared by 3 people or we would of been there and little to long. Well done Ashley Sharine and Susan brilliant effort peeps. "SHOUT OUTS" To Paul well done on your first Goodgym run. Janine get well soon. Deborah get that injury sorted and good luck at your 10K this weekend. Sarah we missed you I know its work but Italy can't be to bad :-) I'm going to finish off by saying what a great night out running and tasking i have had with you guys. See you next week.......
