Make mine a double!

On a sunny spring evening, four of Goodgym Redbridge's finest runners did not one, but two, tasks and ran 6.5km in the process.

With many of the regular crew preferring the pub garden rather than getting fit, it was down to four of the team to get fit and do good in the area. With a last minute request from Anna at Wanstead House Community Association to help with unloading and restocking the bar, the team were immediately in the thick of it.

Five minutes later and some heavy lifting done, the task was complete and the team were off down the road to Redbridge Community Allotments to for the night's second task and to see what the recent sun and rain had done to the site.

The allotments are a place dear to our heart, having been our first ever task and the site of many a sweaty hour. Unsuprisingly, Spring had sprung and the weeds had firmly taken a hold of the area. A perfect job for Goodgym!

With gloves donned and armed with trowels, the team were quickly pulling up weeds and sorting the place out. 45 minutes later there was a huge difference - though much work remains and this is likely to be a regular spot over the summer months.

With two tasks complete all that was left was a run around Epping Forest and Eagle Pond and a return to base for some easy stretching.

Great work team!
