Fresh off the parkrun finish line, we took to Stepney Green to hand out flyers for GoodGym itself and the Legs, Tums and Runs exercise class. An active morning for John, Ilana and Sam!

On Monday evening we're back at St Matthew's Church for a variety of work in their beautiful gardens. You can sign up here https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/the-big-monday-night-task-help-bethnal-green-s-historical-church-gardens

There was to be no mulching at Columbia Road this time, the mulch heap having been removed by the council after a fire, an indication of the drought conditions endured by Londoners at present. So there's a hosepipe ban, but plants still need irrigation, which is where GoodGym come in...

A very healthy turnout of 19 GoodGymers soon grabbed a surprisingly adequate number of watering cans. They boosted their daily step-count while strengthening their muscles, returning again and again from the water tap in the storage area, to the bushes and plants on the other side of the estate. Doing good while keeping fit!

Ed and several of our crew seemed to have abandoned the task, but never fear, we found them using an alternative tap, unhelpfully situated behind a fence, but more handily situated for the bushes and trees on that side of the estate

Special mention to Lucinda and Chris who were prepared to stay in the confines of the storage area in order to serve a constant stream of GoodGym “customers”. Actually, they probably had the right idea, it was a bit cooler in there…
