This week, 6 fabulous GoodGymers ran 4km to return to an old old task and strip paint.

Tonight's task of old was accompanied by the return of Sarah, who we've not seen forever while she's been off running a group run of her own.

Things started as they always do with intros and warm ups at base, before heading off on our 2km 1st leg to KORI.

Cathy was our trusty back-marker while Sarah lead the way.

When we got to Kori, Haringey's former trainer Varon was there to meet us with the tools for the task. He handed the bag over, explained the task to the group and then left us to it.

The team split into three groups, scraping the paint off the almost finished railings. There was some great tapping technique happening from Ritu and Nurjehan, while Sarah was being careful not to disturb the spider.

Before long the 30 minutes were over and it was time to tidy up and fill our backpacks with all the equipment we'd been given.

We then did a few burpees, squats and press ups for good measure before a couple of minutes of free play. We finished off with some mobility drills, including 'don't-headbutt-the-wall squats' and 'slo-mo-kick-over-the-fence'.

The team did some great running and carrying on the way home, big shout out to all of you for pulling together to help out.

Don't forget about the social tomorrow. Check the parties page for the deets. See you next week!
