Lending their hands for the second part of this Bike Shed thriller, Sooz and Matt should be commended for their diligent patience. They were left twiddling their thumbs for a good part of an hour as the dismantling overran. Maybe the timings were over-optimistic given the shed’s size…

Meanwhile, en route fast from the dismantling, Bike Shed originals Audrey, Louise and Md blitzed a sweaty scenic run through Victoria Park whilst Jack lazily took a lift in one of the vans - enjoying the A/C and eating cake whilst doing so, probably.

When the truck finally arrived at the school we carefully worked in teams to lift, manoeuvre and place down the heavy pieces in an organised fashion. Our work mirrored an Ikea instruction manual on the playground.

The trickiest part was moving the perspex roof covers, which bent and wobbled, teasing us that they might crack and make all our work in vain. It took all of us and some chuckle-brotheresque communication skills (to me, to you) to slide them off of the truck’s footbed and stack them daintily on top of each other.

By the time we had unloaded and organised the pieces it was sadly time up for the gang. With no time left to reassemble we vowed to fight another day should we get the call from the parents in need.

The Bike Shed saga, to be continued…

There are plenty of new youngsters coming down to this regular GoodGym x parkrun task at London Fields. Today's first place and first timer to London Fields clocked in an impressive 07:27 and it wasn't even his personal best!

A crowd of usual GoodGym suspects joined the ranks with Rue taking up the post of Run Director - with his trademark warm up routine slightly shortened for the hot weather. But the cries of "You're amazing" could still be heard across the Fields.

Sooz was trusted with Timekeeping and tokens - an easier role today with only 30 participants - and Sarah of course could be found under her tree.

Join us next week for more fun at the Fields!

A whole wave of first timers joined London Fields juniors today, alongside a regular bunch of trusty GoodGym volunteers.

Sarah took up her usual spot under Sarah's Tree™ and Sooz snapped up the fox's tail having missed out on tailwalker the previous week.

With Rue on timekeeping duties, the stage was set.

There were 15 young finishers today supported by GoodGym and local parkrun volunteers (and even some volunteers from further afield!).

All wrapped up within the hour and finishing with coffee and cake.
