Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Last night, the weekly Achilles International crew met up at Stratford Underground station (Westfield exit) for a smashing group run in the light! Such a difference compared to our usual night time runs in Winter!
Andrew and Mario the guide dog returned for a easy paced walk and jog after a super impressive performance at the London Marathon on the weekend.
New guide Meliza ran with Mark Colby for a loop of Waterden Park. Luc did some excellent running with Mark D (after running Manchester Marathon two weeks ago- great job!). Dan ran with Mark N and newish guide runner Charlotte for laps around West Ham stadium. And Peter did a stellar job co-guiding Tom D with Rob on his first session in Stratford.
Wonderful running everyone! We will be back at the following location next week!

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Barbra Streisand celebrated her birthday on Wednesday - Happy Birthday, Barbra!!
I know this because of the OnThisDay website. And Wikipedia. I double checked on Wikipedia. I trust Wikipedia, but I didn't trust OnThisDay.
But now, of course, I do. And they tell me that Wednesday would also have been William of Orange's 491st birthday - big numbers, Will!
Then there's Lou Thesz - who was a wrestler; and Philippe Pétain - who was a French general; and the list goes on and on. But...
...does it mention GoodGym Camden... why heck, it doesn't! What would Barbra say, OnThisDay, hey?
Because it was big news as our merry group met outside the Francis Crick on Wednesday evening - GoodGym Camden was 11!!
Dan, Faye, Jackie, John, Lucy, and Steve met in spring light and we started the evening with a gentle warm up game of Get to 33!
Warmed and chatting, we strolled next door to the special King's Cross Story Garden. Housed above the British Library's car park, the space is a cared-for curation of nature and crafts, sat snug and peaceful amidst King's Cross's hub-bub.
Chimen (who was on their first good deed - welcome!!), Emre, and Louise joined us on site, where we were welcomed by the lovely Holly, the Story Garden's Manager.
Our task was simple - get things out of the way - preparing the way for the removal team, who will be taking stock over to the garden's new permanent home a stone's throw away.
We got to it, dismantling gazebos, shifting pallets, lifting portable saunas, and then making things tidy and neat once again.
Over 45 minutes, this team of 10 made such a difference, and we did so whilst sharing our own stories and laughter.
Thanks, everyone, I really appreciate your work, and I hope to see you at another session soon!!!
