This week 5 brilliant Goodgym-ers ran 2km to pull weeds for Cafe Connect. Well, four of us ran the first km together, while London transport meant Sarah(Who ran a sub 4hr marathon on sunday!) ran to meet us there and Niamh ran around but didn't quite make it.

Tube delays can't hold us down and we still managed to clear three patches of weeds for Layla and the gang.

We filled two wheelbarrows, with Ollie and Julie on one team and Sarah and Cathy on the other; and cleared away the overgrown weeds and grass in record time. Leaving time for a quick snack inside of freshly cut oranges and apples.

Living Under One Sun is looking for support to get enough pledges by 7 December to get some funding for out door lighting. If they get enough pledges, they'll be considered for the Mayor's Fund. Go to Spacehive.com/tottenhamcafeconnectoutdoors if you want to help.

We had a quick team photo before heading to our sprinting track for some sprints and a circuit.

Julie headed back to base to go to Roller Derby, while every body else did some squats, press ups and tricep dips.

First GoodGym run in history where ALL of the runners were doing full press ups off the floor. Proud moment for me.

Then it was time for stretches and carrot cake, courtesy of Cathy, who hit the big 100 mark for good deeds. Well done, Cathy!

Goodgym has been a massive help to me - not only in terms of physical well-being but also psychological. I can't thank everyone I've met at Goodgym enough for their encouragement, advice, support and of course great company!!
