34 runners ran 7.5km in 48 mins to plant 1000 bulbs to improve Norwood bus stop.

This was the night that good gym Lambeth went city-wide. No less than BBC London had got wind of the excellent work of this blossoming running crew, accompanying them as they strode into the southern depths of Lambeth. Their mission: to help the Edible Bus stop transform a rather sad looking corner of West Norwood into a floral feast.

"shout out must go to K. Welford and E. Kerslake for a combative first performance"

After some preliminary lunge-ing we set out from Brixton at a fresh pace, led by Mark, Alex and James. It was ace to see so many new faces join the Lambeth team on this, just its second week. Clearly someone had mentioned we might be on TV. Too many were on debut to mention - but a special shout out must go to K. Welford and E. Kerslake for a combative first performance.

"the difference between a dud and a bloomer"

We arrived at our destination confronted by spades, trowels and over 1000 bulbs. After a thought provoking speech which outlined the difference between a dud bulb and a bloomer, we were informed we had just 15 mins to plant them all.

"unafraid of the elbow grease"

Compelled by the bright lights of the BBC cameramen, the team furiously endeavored to complete the task on time, working in small teams to dig and plant, unafraid of the elbow grease.

As Ivo's claxon sounded the job was done. The BBC, increasingly aware of the TV gold dust unfolding before their cameras, demanded even more from the runners - capturing several flyby shots. Could this piece get bumped up to the national news? Few in attendance were in any doubt.

"impending fame"

Buoyed by the thought of their impending fame, the runners returned to Brixton at an unprecedented pace. Impressions from week one were correct - this is undoubtedly a fast crew.

"Brixton sweating"

They arrived back in Brixton sweating but content in the thought of a hard evenings work, captured indelibly in the BBC archives. One for the grandkids, perhaps.

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
