Laura has done their first good deed with GoodGym.

Laura is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

You gotta grow with it (you gotta take your watering can)

On the 20th anniversary of Oasis famous Knebworth gig, nine GoodGymers set off to water the plants, weed, and generally tidy up at the ace Oasis Green Gym. Given the obvious overlap (was it always meant to be!?), copious badly-inserted puns and references will follow. You have been warned.

Starting off from Westminster with a crowd slightly smaller than the 250,000 at Knebworth (though it felt like more on Oxford Street!), we gently slid away, before giving it all we had, dodging and diving through the crowds to arrive at the garden in good time. There was, of course, a mandatory sprint around Bedford Square. Great times from everyone which we subsequent smashed on the way back - cos tonight we were rock n roll stars. And Sally had to wait. Obviously.

At the task we watered, weeded, and tidied to keep the garden looking alive and fresh for another day! Some expert watering technique on display from all - maybe, just maybe, we're gonna be the ones that saves them (plants). Massive congrats also to all for not falling (or jumping!) in the pool!

On the way back we mixed it up again with MORE progression intervals around Bedford Square, where everyone put in a massive effort and improved on their previous times - faster than a cannon ball! Cruising back all the roads we had to run were winding, but this was more than made up by meeting a new wrinkled furry friend - a Shar Prei dog! Rumours that he will become the official GoodGym Westminster dog can neither be confirmed nor denied.

Some nice stretches to cool down, a good Wednesday 5k down, and we were done! GoodGym: come for the running and good-doing, stay for the dogs and Oasis puns. Some might say, at least. Til next time!

*Big shout-out to Mel who suggested the title for this run report!
