It was the very last run of the year in Wandsworth last night, and there was singing, the 12 days of Fitmas, and not one but two cakes! What a way to see out the year...

It was also a time for us to look back at what we've achieved together. We have clocked up a colossal 4473 good deeds so far - next year is going to be a huge one for us as we hit our 5000th good deed!

Things you got to snow

It was the first run for Lou and for Anneka last night - give them some festive cheer, GoodGym!

Our first run back next year is on the 7th January, can't wait to see you all there ready for work off all that Christmas pud!

Absolutely delighted that on our very last run of the year, our lovely Jordan hit his 100th good deed! What an extraordinary amount of doing good across the borough and beyond, time spent making other peoples' lives better, and an innumerable number of squats and sprints! Well done Jordan!

Let's make it rein

Tonight we had a special one off run following the fun we had last year. We love to support Paul's Cancer Support Centre, an amazing organisation near Clapham Junction that provides support for anybody living with cancer, offering alternative therapies, counseling and advice to everybody. It's an incredible place that is vital for communities, so tonight's task was a running and caroling session to raise as much money as we could for them.

So after a quick run through to prep our angelic voices, and a warm up where we made like athletic Christmas puds, angels, Christmas trees and Rudolph, we set off for our first stop. Paul's Cancer Support has a good relationship with Asda, so it was just a short jog down to kick off. There were no first performance nerves from us though, as we got started with Jingle Bells before a rather fine rendition of Silent Night, even if we do say so ourselves.

We did a few more belters, before moving off to Clapham Junction, where we were enthusiastically supported (conducted) by a lovely older lady waiting for her bus, which was much more encouraging that the competitive man we encountered at our next stop outside the pub. Undeterred, we ran up to Clapham Common, where we finished off the night with some lovely harmonising and a rousing rendition of We Wish You A Merry Christmas! Watch this space to find out how much we raised last night...

All that was left of our festive run was a fitness session on the common, where we got competitive with a game of The 12 Days of Fitmas. It was a very tight call, but after one team had to repeat 12 skaters for the upteenth time, it was Team Warrior that pipped it to the post and were rewarded with cheers and chocolate.

One myrrh for the road

After a speedy run back to base, it was just time to stretch it out before we headed over to the Four Thieves for our final social of the year, and to eat cake.

If you want to relive our tuneful endeavours last night, check out the video here - sounding very nice GoodGym!

It's been a huge pleasure to run with you this year Wandsworth - you make Mondays brilliant. Thank you for all your amazing efforts this year to make your borough and beyond a better place to live. Here's the 2019 and all the good deeds and fitness it will bring! Wishing you ALL the most wonderful end to the year xxx

7 Goodgymers clear Simon street Footpath in New Town

Another unusual meet up at the Old Heath Rec, this time on a Bank Holiday Monday Morning.

Definitely worth doing these runs at extra times as we had 4 newbies to our group. Theresa, Fran, Anneka and Peter who visited us all the way from Goodgym Bristol.

After signing in and catching up on our Easter we started our warm up on the Old Heath Rec before heading to the car park to collect supplies.

We made our way to the footpath and as well as litter picking, there were a few overgrown plants to cut back, thanks to Theresa for bringing some shears. We had 35 minutes and this allowed us to clear 2 sections of the footpath, including the bridge across the railway.

A local resident came out of his home to tell us how he'd lived there for 40 years, and he was so glad that we were doing something about the footpath. Its always nice to be appreciated.

After finishing up the task, we made our way back to the rec to put the equipment away before playing Frisbee. I have to say that today's group was a bit more skilled than Saturday's group at throwing the frisbee, although this may have been because the wind was less strong.

We'll be back to our normal Wednesday evening runs from now on, although we may have a few more starter sessions as we get into summer.
