8 GoodGymers made their way to help the Friends of Woolwich Common in Greenwich.
- Sunday, 29th of September 2024
- Led by Rachel Henry
This was an extra special group run because it was Sarah Wren's first time leading a session to get signed off as a run leader for Bexley!
And beautifully done it was, with a nice warm up whilst discussing our favourite sandwich fillings. Nothing particularly strange to report on this one although I do find Jenny's love of blue cheese disconcerting 🤢 After a gentle run through the parks, with a loo stop mid way, we arrived bang on time at the Woolwich Common Litter Pick where we battled with our bags and hoops and got to work. Unfortunately there was lots of rubbish left by the last travellers and we were kept very busy picking up all sorts of rubbish, sadly including quite a lot of soaked through nappies. Which will still be here in about 400 years. Well, yes they will most likely outlast humankind then won't they? Ah, this is jolly ain't it? Let's change the tone.
After an hour the common looked much cleaner and we hauled our bags over to the collection point and greeted two potential new Bexley members, come on Bexley! Then there was time for more coffee and onto the rest of our Sundays. Excellent work team and well done to those of you who double deeded with Junior Parkrun this morning!💪🏻
Well done to Sarah, you definitely passed with flying colours and will be a brilliant run leader in Bexley. The first group run is set for the 30th October !
Our next wednesday group run is TBC but will be posted up in the next few days. Until next time!
