Ridding The Ivy Train

Roll up, roll up, everyone - Grandpa Euclides has quite the yarn to tell. 10 daring goodgymmers bounced around Tottenham Green, still feeling the sugar rush from last week's sweeties feast, and left the Green looking Tip Top Woop!

Baby Steps

All stories have to start somewhere, so let's start this one with a birth. GGH stalwart Rhiannon has frankly been slacking of late when it comes to the group runs but I guess we'll forgive her now since she has only gone and made a whole new person! And what a handsome little person he is <3 She can have a couple of weeks off, I guess.

Also, big kudos for Adam who joined us for his Goodgym debut and he brought the house down. Rock star!

A Night At The Park

We hadn't visited our gracious HQ hosts at Friends of Tottenham Green since Grandpa Euclides started minding the shop a few months back. So, our long overdue homecoming saw us getting on with a long list of jobs.

However, before we got on with it, we split into two groups and set off for a wee topsy-turvy leg spinner in the cold November night. Our walking group, which was meant to do a 2k walk, ended up doing a very lovely run in the end instead. Our running group, which was meant to do a 5k run, ended up doing just under 4k. Life is like a box of chocolates and all that.

At the task, we picked litter, swept the fallen autumn leaves, and rode the ivy train by getting through an almost farcical amount of ivy. Oh, reader, you should've seen these goodgymmers. Not even the threat of incoming rain managed to break their resolute work. Grandpa Euclides had to physically drag some of them from the Green to make room for our fitness session.

After a few sets of burpees, lunges, squats, and some good ol' questioning of Grandpa Euclides' timekeeping, we high-fived our way into the night.

Don't forget that it's party time on Friday!

And please come to our task next week. It's a special edition with fun one-off start and end points. Then it'll be our social so we'll go searching for food and beverages afterwards. Happy days!
