No Leaves Remain!

22 buoyant Hackney GoodGymers ran a strong 5k to St Luke’s Church to clear the gardens of 35 full to the brim bags of leaves, 4 bags of little as well as a dash up the tower blocks to deliver 100 leaflets!

Another great turnout this week in Hackney!! Thank you all for coming along and welcome to our GG first timers for their maiden Run!

News Next week is Hackney GoodGym maybe Hackney’s longest serving members Antonia is running her Final session in Hackney before she moves up North. We will be going out of a drink at The Pub on the Park post Group run to Haggerston Park so would be great if you could join us!!

Saturday 26th sees us have a special ** Starter session** starting at 9:45 at Hackney Marshes Centre we will be visiting Tree Musketeers. Be great if you wanted to join us and maybe bring a friend to try out GG!!

Wanting to get our pulse rates, body temperatures up we took the long 3k loop around to St Luke’s this week throwing in a little Strength, balance and conditioning on Well Street Common.

Hopefully arming ourselves with a strong body to coup with the cold weather and maybe an increase in distance as we storm up the January Challenge leaderboard.

With a little extra bounce in our stride we bounded over to St Luke’s and got stuck straight in!

A simple task of see leaves, bag leaves lay in store and we were excellent at it!! Taking down the huge piles of leaves at speed! While the eagle eyes grabbed the litter from the gardens to get it looking ship shape!

30 minutes of epic action and we had piled the the leaves high and cleared both the gardens so they were looking great.

A 2k loop back to base taking in some of the less run GoodGym routes down the narrow way brought us back to base on time, well worked and after having a top time!!

Thank you all for coming along, see you next week for our return visit to Haggerston Park to finish off the wood chip viewing path of Hackney City Farm.

Have a great week!

Smooth Running
