We came, we saw, we bricked it

Southwark Report written by Lucy J

Last night 12 runners ran 3.5km to help out at Grove Park Allotments

Southwark News

  • The GoodGym Olympics happened on Saturday and we came FIFTH in our league. A jolly good show by all featuring a great elimination mile from David Drury and a stunning silver performance in the egg and spoon by Becky.

  • The next Big Six race organised by the race team is East Farm Frolic. There's a 10k, half marathon, marathon and a lapped 12 hour race that you can do solo or in teams. Buy your places soon! Some of us will be camping some will be in accommodation (TBC). Come join the fun!

  • We have instagram! Follow us @goodgym_southwark

  • A big hello to Mikhail and Gwyn who joined us for the first time last night.

That's enough of the business

After some celebration of our amazing results at the Olympics on Saturday we ventured into the rather humid evening and up the hill to Grove Park. We took a rather steep route out there and outdid ourselves on the climb in that heat. Well done team!

Arriving at Grove Park we were greeted by Liz who got us to work in three groups:

  • Sawing pallets in half
  • Watering plots
  • Moving a large pile of bricks

In half an hour I counted six sawn pallets (although it may have been five...), all of the bricks moved and a good 40% of plots got a watering (it's a big space!). Great work everyone.

Particularly impressive were the sawing techniques being tried and tested last night. The double-handed-saw seemed to be most efficient.

Saw you think you can squat?

That's right, I had my speaker to hand and you know what that means - Sally Squats! The group made a solid effort (particularly Gwyn who just did the challenge last Tuesday!) for the whole song which was rewarded by quality time on the swings. If you've not heard of the sally squat challenge, look it up on youtube. It's a cracker.

Next week we're painting the Tigers Clubhouse. It's a 6km run total - down to Burgess Park and back. There is a tv available so if we're doing something in the football, we will be able to watch whilst we work. Here's hoping!

See you next week!

Keep running happy, Lucy

Pooper scooper, GoodGym's gonna find you

Southwark Report written by Lucy J

15 runners ran 10km to scoop poop and fill the skip at Surrey Docks Farm

** Southwark News**

The GoodGym Olympics is coming! We're looking to get a team together for the GoodGym Relay which involves being velcroed together (it will be absolute wonderful mayhem). PUT THE DATE IN YOUR DIARY - SATURDAY 30TH JUNE AT PARLIAMENT HILL TRACK. You need to make your race choices via this form by 3rd June.

We'd love to spread the GoodGym Southwark word in a local paper/radio station/anything! If you have any ideas in the Southwark area let me know - lucyj@goodgym.org

That's enough of the business...

Huge welcome and hello to the four runners that joined us for the first time last night! Sami, Dan, Sarah and Nichola Give them a cheer :)

Last night was a long one - after a briefing we set off the for 5km (OK, 5.6km...) to Surrey Docks Farm where we were welcomed by Gemma. She was delighted to see so many of us. We split into two groups but not before we wished Hermione the donkey a Happy 12th Birthday:

  • One group clearing the goat yard of dropping.
  • One group helping fill up skip with scrap metal and tree stumps and all sorts!

We got everything done in 20 mins (hooray!) and had a bit of time to meet their Oxford Sandy and Black pigs. Gemma told us they'd be expecting piglets in the coming months (better go back then eh!) and explained some uncomfortable truths about life as a working farm. The long and short of it is that if they name an animal, it's staying, if they don't name it, it will be used for meat. The meat is then sold at the farm shop. This is literally the most responsible and sustainable way to eat meat. To the farm shop everyone! And whilst you're there you can pick up all the other ingredients for a roast!

Surrey Docks Farm is aways magical to visit. On the way back it was a race between 5 runners on the overground and 10 runners running the 5.6km back. Guess what? The runners won! We'll ignore the fact that they probably had to wait for a train!

A really fantastic run both ways last night, I was impressed at how quickly we covered the distance.

Next week we're flyering all over Southwark for Southwark Refugee Response and Age UK. We need as many hands as possible to shift everything! Sign up here.

Great work team, see you next week!
