What a fab evening with Bexley Goodgym. Tonight we were heading back over to Danson Youth centre to continue our work in the herb gardens. Its coming along beautifully. We were also really pleased to have our new members Matt, Chris, Nick and Emanuel from Bexley Mencap joining us for the very first time.

With all the introductions done it was time for our pre run warm up. This consisted of plenty of high knees, fast sprints, and everyones favourite, butt kicks..........

WITH ALL THE INTRODUCTIONS DONE IT WAS TIME FOR OUR PRE RUN WARM UP

With small beads of sweat on our brow we knew our warm up had been completed and we headed out towards Danson Lake. This time of the evening the lake its really special. It also gives off a lovely cool breeze which was really appreciated as we started heading back up hill towards our good deed for the evening, Danson Youth centre.

On arrival it was all hands on deck. We got our tools out the store room and headed out back to the herb garden. The over grown hedge was our main priority this week so we got stuck in, giving it the hair cut it so badly needed.

Time sure does fly by when you're busy and having fun. We had 3 teams working this evening. One team on the hedges, one team pulling and sweeping up leaves in the back, and one team doing exactly the same but out the front of the centre. It was pure awesomeness in motion :'-)..........

With time not on our side it was soon time to call it in for the evening. "WEED" love to have stayed longer. With all the tools now packed away it was time for our group photos before having a last one back to BaseCamp Crooklog does 10 burpees sprint off. You'll be surprised how people find the energy they said they never had (hahahahaha).

Quick shout out to Neil for smashing out a trail marathon this Sunday. To Cheryl for running for the first time in her black GG Tee shirt. Its amazing, we now have 3 black tee shirt runners and 1 one hundred tee shirt runner at Bexley Goodgym. Feeling proud. MUCH :-)

Well thats it for this weeks run report, i really hope you enjoyed it. Again a massive high five to everyone that turned out this evening. It deffo wouldn't be the same without you all. See ya next week..............
