This was our second session of letterbox leafleting to spread the word about the Community Hospice's brilliant Open Garden Festival taking place in a couple of weeks 🌻🌾🌿.

Tonight our target area was around one of this year's first-time participating gardens, and with five pairs of trainers hitting the pavements and driveways, our pile of flyers disappeared quickly.

As always, the task was about more than just getting the job done. Along the way we swapped stories of recent parkrun tourism in the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark, debated all things feline, and enjoyed the kind of friendly conversation that makes GoodGym such a sociable way to stay active.

Mission completed, and with 1.5 kilometers-worth of steps logged, we headed to the pub for a well-earned drink before heading home.

Cheers, and have a great weekend everyone!

We were out and about in sunny Bexley this evening, spreading the word for the Community Hospice's Open Garden Festival next month.

We popped leaflets through the doors of houses in streets close to one of the properties taking part in the Festival. Hopefully the fliers will encourage people to go along and support this event, raising vital funds for the Hospice's work in supporting local people.

Of course, at GoodGym we like to combine fitness with our good deeding. In this task walked 4km almost without noticing as we chatted our way around the streets. That's the way to do it!

In glorious sunshine, four of us joined the volunteering team at Eltham junior parkrun this morning.

Johnny and Ivar gave out high fives as the 92 young runners and their parents ran the two lap course.

As timekeeper, Peter made sure everyone got a time as they crossed the finishing line. And Sarah scanned finishing tokens.

This is a lovely way to start a Sunday - time outdoors, making something special in our community - and parkrun doesn't run without volunteers, so why not give it a go?
