My first mission and I loved it. I ran a little over 5km to get to Mr and Mrs C's in Croydon where Juliet was waiting for me. It was good to meet her as we'd emailed a few times when I first joined GoodGym but I haven't been able to join the Croydon runs yet.

We introduced ourselves to Mr and Mrs C, they told us what they wanted to be done and we set to work. Juliet started strimming whilst I weeded then I mowed the lawn whilst Juliet did a fantastic job ridding the garden of some harsh brambles.

90 minutes later, we bagged up about six bags of garden waste, said our goodbyes to a delighted Mrs C and headed our separate ways. Taking a shorter route home, I made 10km overall so very pleased with myself. A very productive morning!
