Fourteen originals met tonight with love in our hearts, sanitizer in our bags and tissues in our pockets. Ain't no corona going to stop us from doing good deeds.

Our original task was unfortunately cancelled so after our rather windy warm up in Pool Valley we headed off towards Tara's gaffe on Lansdowne Place to pick up bundles of Extinction Rebellion leaflets.

We split into groups of four, Tara provided us with maps and we proceeded to deliver like crazy...barking dogs and darkened basement flats allowing.

Then making our way to the i360 we set about our fitness session...a combination of tricep dips, Russian twists, press ups, short sprints and step ups alongside the upside down house. The night was also our monthly social at the Bison Beer House and after having picked ourselves off the floor when seeing what £4 got you for an order of french fries, a good time was had by all.

Who will reach 100 Goodgym tasks first? My money is on the writer...see you next week.

Goodgym Brighton’s Tuesday evening run (jog, walk, crawl) to Cardinal Newman Catholic School in Hove took in, in my opinion 80% of Brighton’s steepest hills, I really did crawl at some points !

In tonight’s news…… Well done to Helena on your shiny Silver medal (for the Sussex 2019/20 Cross Country League) and also to Katharine for running further than she's ever run before. And ideas for next weeks social are most welcome (in the Whatsapp group).

Armed with feather dusters microfibre cloths in assorted colours and enough spray cleaner to rid Europe of the corona virus we set about our task of buffing the hell out of the staircases. Noticing a sign on the stairs saying UP ONLY, I could only imagine the pile up at A&E as uninitiated year 7’s figured out inventive ways of getting back downstairs.

As we chanted our mantra ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’ handrails were spruced , strings were polished, stanchions scrubbed, balustrades buffed and newel’s rendered spotless. We were so devoted to our task that many of us missed an impromptu acoustic gig taking place in the music room…….

Task completed we retired to the field to complete our exercises, good+gym =

And just a reminder that we are having a Goodgym volunteering takeover at Junior parkrun this Sunday. Sign up here.
