Dib Dib Job (done)

Dib dib dob, GoodGym! Last night 10 runners tackled a long run to Brentford Scout hut, gave the place a lick of paint and ran back - with a few squats and lunges along the way!

We started off the night welcoming the lovely Lisa and Tatty who joined us for their very first GoodGym run. Welcome to the gang!

There was a bit of news before we set off on a slightly longer run - don't forget that there is a GoodGym-wide social tomorrow night in central London. It's a lovely opportunity to catch up with other GoodGymers from all the areas, cheer the good deeds everybody has been doing, and generally have a good old GG knees up. Everybody welcome!

After a quick warm up with a long run in our crosshairs, we did a quick poll to find out our favourite breakfasts. Much toast, eggs and avocado (YES), cinnamon and raisin bagels, heuvos rancheros and fruit were all popular while Michelle loves everything breakfast!

It was a 4k run to our task tonight so we set off at a steady pace, stopping along the way smash out a few squats, wall sits and tricep dips. Before long (give or take a small but obviously deliberate detour) we arrived at the scout hut to find Claire waiting with paintbrushes, paint and a big expanse of wall which needed some love.

Despite a few splashes, some terrible puns, and some pesky spiders we got the job done quickly. Next week we'll be back to give the hallway a good coat of yellow paint and another coat on the white wall.

With Jo, Amanda, Luis, Lisa, Tatty and Michelle leading the way we headed to our starting point, with a faster pace on the way back. Really great running everyone - it's not easy to smash 8k stopping for a big job half way but you guys nailed it.

Looking forward to some more of the same next week, so sign up here for a great run, an important community task and a pub social afterwards!
