Turn baby turn, disco in-turn-o

Well thankfully you were spared me leading the run in a suit... though it seems the idea might be welcomed... we'll see what we can do next time I cover in H+F (if you'll have me!)

An awesome ten of you joined me in Hammersmith and Fulham to help Pauline at the Maystar Estate. We were joined by Miteki who was attending GoodGym for the first time.

We did a quick intro talking about the three ways that you can do good and get fit with GoodGym: Missions, Coach Runs and as we were doing... Group Runs! With that done, a quick warm up despatched and, with only a slight vehicular interruption, we were ready to go. I had leapt on Jason's offer to back-mark the session and quickly persuaded him that his knowledge of the area would make him a much much better leader for the journey to Maystar Estate. I took up the back-marker post (to ensure that is noone is left behind) and we were off!

Front- or back-marker!

Arriving at Maystar we met with Pauline who outlined the tasks for us:

• Turning the soil in four planters and one flower bed
• Helping to move some damaged fence posts

We were slightly hampered by a lack of tools but everyone got down to it and we had the planters and the beds looking great in no time. Special mention to Tom and Miteki who, at my suggestion, tried to turn the planting tool into a soil turning tool - let's just say tools tend to be made to do what they're designed for...

Meanwhile, after Jason had assessed the damaged fence posts Anders and Helen joined Jason and this little crack team got to work dismantling and carrying the posts to the bins and ensuring that was couldn't be moved was left in a safe state - great work!

River run

With plenty of time to spare we decided to extended our run back to base by going via the Thames Path, Jason again led the way and we had a well paced run back. With that done it left just enough time for us to stretch off, here some news about the Hammersmith + Fulham Social on the 17th April and the GoodGym Monthly social next week on the 5th. Polly even checked in all the way from Costa Rica and then we were done.

Thanks for having me, hope to see some of you next week at the social and don't forget you've got Paul covering next week with another trip to Maystar.

Cheers, Pritesh
