6 runners, 2 walkers, 6 shovels, 3 two tonne soil bags and a couple of children's bicycles... what have you got? Lambeth's Tuesday evening Group Run!

Welcome back Alice it was great to have you back in the group after a while away and Gosia welcome to Lambeth for a bit of GG tourism!

Category update: Creatures from Mythology (Answers included centaurs, Medusa (Nice one Emma), mermaids, Chimera, a Hippogriff (Frances keeping it modern) and one from Kaz from Maori culture whose name I can't remember - pls put in the comments Kaz!)

It's a short run up from Brixton to Clapham High Street so we were ready and raring to go by 7:15pm and went streaming past Ed from Lambeth GP Food CoOp who was meeting us there. Once reunited Ed gave us the briefing and we had 3 huge planters to empty of soil so they could be transported by truck to another site.

We divided into two groups and began shifting soil! The two tonne bags filled up very quickly so the excess had to be stacked neatly on the ground and by 8pm we were pretty much done. We stashed the shovels, said our goodbyes and set off back to basewith another great task in the bag. Thanks to Paul and Marie-Noelle our walkers who rescued bunches of tulips for the volunteers to take home!

Lots more tasks coming up in the next few months for LGPFC so keep your eyes peeled for them, thanks to Ed Rosen for having us over to help out.

Sadly no bike riding was had but we can hope that with our new GG x Raleigh partnership there will be plenty in the future!

Thanks all - see you next week.

Given the weather conditions last night and the snow covered landscape in the morning I decided to go with a suitably Nordic pun for our report - please send complaints to badpunsonrunreports@goodgym.run !!

Anyway, we had a group of 9 signed up last night which began to whittle itself down as the evening approached and by launch time we had 5 hardy souls ready for a short run and a heavy task. As ever we start with our newest member and we were delighted to welcome Emma who is a former Oxford GGer and now down in London and part of our Lambeth family, it was great to have you with us!

(Category this evening - things with buttons! Coraline by Vicky was our clear winner)

Frances' wish to improve her arm strength was about to be rewarded this evening as we were back helping out our friend James aka Father Nature to remove over 2 tonnes of soil which was going to be spread across Eden Gardens and other worthwhile places such as local schools.

Since we were last at the house the big bags had been packed into small 20-30kg bags and so all that was left to do was to lift-run-drop-repeat them onto the milk float, all under the watchful eyes of the beautiful Callypso the owners' long haired sausage dog! Despite Tilly's self confessed preference for cats we could see that Callypso could tell an animal lover and took a particular shine to her.

It was cold - we couldn't feel our fingers -it was heavy work - but our arms got stronger - it was quick - but that's ok we made a difference. After 25 mins we were done and the tonnes of soil was now ready to go and be delivered where it was needed.

Thanks everybody - I look forward to seeing you next week!
