Meet the Forkers

It was a night of celebrations in Hounslow last night after a weekend of PBs for many...

• Matt did the double, with a 5k PB on Saturday and a 10K PB on Sunday - chapeau!

• Michelle and Andy both got new PBs at parkrun (Michelle by a whacking great two minutes!) while Remy ran a marathon! Forza GG Hounslow!

• It was lovely Emily's 50th good deed celebrations - well done for all the brilliant things you've done for your community, and all the planks along the way!

After all that cheering we popped outside to do our warm up, and after a bad day for celebrities yesterday, we talked about our celebrity spots. We've bumped into Robert Pattinson in Soho, David Beckham was spotted coming out of the gym, we saw one of the Foxes (Liam, Michael J, Jamie or Laurence?), hobnobbed with Prince Charles, and Hugh Grant is pretty much everywhere.

Our task for the night was at Chiswick allotments helping dig over an area of ground and do a few other jobs to help out. Great to see so many of you with headtorches at these darker tasks, because as Michelle pointed out,

No lightey, no likey

Trying to avoid the slippery leafy mulch, we soon arrived at the allotments and, after sharing out the spades, got to work. Mira,Luis and Mikaela got busy trimming a tree and clearing a pathway, while Matt, Eloise and Paul were weeding a raised bed. Meanwhile, the trench digging was underway, but proving hard going. Will and Andy were having an 'I'll dig, you fill up the hole I've just dug' sort of evening, while we also uncovered a stash of buried medicine and then hit rock. We ended up with one very neatly dug half and one that maybe needed a little bit more love. Sterling work team!

After our run back, we kicked off the fitness session with a game which saw Luis running at speed round the circle, while the rest of the group tried to protect Oliver from getting tagged. What people walking by must have thought... We then moved on to some serious running, with a progression drill that saw us reach a minute of 100% effort.

Next week our task is still being confirmed, but it will definitely include the same doing good, more fitness, and fewer buried piles of blood pressure medicine. I hope. Sign up here.
