What a wonderful evening of doing good in Bromley!

I mixed things up a bit this week (this might happen every week) and we all did a short run up to Crystal Palace Park to hear all about the news in Bromley. We warmed up with a quick game of Everybody’s It with squats when you got tagged, I got some strange looks at first when I tried to describe the game but everyone soon got into it and some people unfortunately seemed to continuously be doing squats!

We made our way over to St John’s Meadow and there were various tasks to be completed:

• removing all the very tall thistles
• removing any spikey plants whilst avoiding the saplings planted around that area
• filling the raised beds from the huge bags of compost

Everyone got stuck into the tasks and we were determined to get everything done before it was time for us to leave! Amazing teamwork and we succeeded - well done everyone!!

We made our way back to Crystal Palace Park (after checking Adele would run through the park in the dark, wouldn’t want to do anything Adele wouldn’t!), we headed back through the park for a quick fitness session.

It doesn’t have a name (that I know) but one half of the group held a plank for 1 minute whilst the other half did star jumps, then we had a 30 second break and switched over - all whilst I was shouting encouragement!

Quick stretch and a recap of all the upcoming events in the area from community missions to parkrun birthdays and parkrun takeovers.
