On another baking hot day 7 hardy Good Gymers made their way to Seniors for our monthly session helping out in the garden.

We split into two groups with Cecilia and Steve doing a very professional job of trimming the lavender on one side of the building with the rest of us, unsurprisingly, being tasked with watering. There was much to water but we were soon done and even had some time to clear some of the thistles and brambles that seemed to be flourishing despite the heat.

After 40 minutes a lot had been achieved and it was time for some of us to go for a well-earned drink at the nearby Blythe Hill tavern

Four GoodGymers turned out at Hornfair Junior parkrun to support the regular volunteer team, taking on a variety of roles including parkwalker, marshal, barcode scanning and funnel manager.

It was the first event back after Hornfair Junior parkrun’s fantastic 2nd birthday celebrations last week, and the perfect way to keep the community spirit

Four Goodgymers gave a little of their time, but that small contribution helped create a big impact — allowing the regular volunteer team to deliver another successful junior parkrun and keeping this valuable community event sustainable for the future.

A special mention goes to a familiar little face on the course — Arthur, son of our GoodGym Greenwich lead, who completed the run with the support of his parents.

Congratulations to all 23 juniors who crossed the finish line this week, with a special shout-out to the five first-timers and the five runners who achieved new PBs.

See you next Sunday! 🙌🏻😍
