GoodGym Lambeth Run Report 🏃‍♀️💪

This week we were off to Holy Trinity Church to help Nicole with our final festive fix-up of the year - and boy, did we move things along! 🎄

The Mission: Operation Party Prep 🎉

Our task? A classic case of shift-and-shuffle as we helped clear space under HT for this weekend's celebrations. We moved items into storage faster than you can say "Good-Gym-nastics!" 💪🏼

With boxes relocated and clutter conquered, the space was transformed from storage chaos to party paradise. Talk about a moving experience! 📦✨

But Wait, There's More! 🏃‍♂️💨

Now for the really important bit - we had somewhere to be, and fast! Our end of year social and quiz was calling, and we weren't about to miss out on our chance to show off our big brains alongside those big biceps. 🧠💪

Quiz Night Spectacular! 🎊🍾

Our lovely group gathered for an epic battle of the minds (and puns) featuring: - 5 quiz rounds mixing GoodGym trivia with general knowledge 🤓 - A mystery challenge round that had everyone scratching their heads - Plenty of not-so-serious shenanigans and creative chaos 😂

In the end, it was the Big Ballerz who took home the glory! 🏆 But as the old game show wisdom goes: "Everyone was a Winner!" (Especially when there's good company, great laughs, and possibly some festive treats involved) 😊

A Huge Thank You! 🙏❤️

What a year it's been! Your dedication, energy, and enthusiasm have been absolutely invaluable. We couldn't do what we do without this incredible community of do-gooders and fitness enthusiasts.

We've got ONE more group session before we take a short festive break, then it's onwards and upwards into 2026! 🚀

See you at the next one! 👟✨

Remember: We don't just run the town, we help it run better!

Mission: Operation Windrush Sweep! 🧹✨

This week our legendary crew tackled the rubbish problem at Windrush Square (see what we did there? 😏). Armed with trowels, dustpans, black bags, and one trusty broom, we went full CSI: Litter Squad to give the square the deep clean it deserved!

The Highlight Reel: 🌟

🎉 The Return of the Legend! After a 5-year hiatus (we're not saying he was having a long nap), Harry made his triumphant comeback! We were so excited we almost threw confetti... but then remembered we'd just have to pick it up again. Welcome back, Harry! 🍻

🦸‍♀️ Our Core Crew of Champions: Fi, Dan, Tilly, and Michael (aka the Treat Master 🧁) showed up ready to sweep the competition. You absolute legends knocked it out of the park (and the litter out of the grass)!

We popped bottle tops, nabbed broken glass with military precision, and generally showed that litter who's boss. Tom from Lambeth Council sends his thanks – the square is looking rubbish-free and gorgeous!

Pun Score: 10/10 would pick again! 🎯

Same time next week? Let's keep the good times rolling and Lambeth cleaning! 💚

This week's mission: Litter Pick Bingo and Plastic Patrol! 💪🏼

TRASH TALK 🗑️ Our lovely crew proved that one person's trash is another person's...well, recycling! We gave an old favorite a new twist and honestly, it was RUBBISH (in the best way possible)!

Armed with bags and the Plastic Patrol app, our heroes combed the local area like environmental detectives, picking up every piece of recyclable waste we could find. We bagged it, logged it, and made sure it all ended up in the right bin. Because sorting is our cardio! 📱♻️

PICK OF THE BUNCH 🌟 Huge shoutout to our usual cast of legends: Fi, Katie, Ben, and Tilly - you absolute trash pandas! 🦝 We love you guys! Your dedication to keeping Lambeth clean while getting fit is truly un-RUBBISH-able! 🤗

STATS 📊 Keep your eyes peeled on the WhatsApp for our full haul - spoiler alert: we absolutely cleaned up! 🧹

THE AFTERMATH 🍻 As if picking up litter wasn't rewarding enough, tonight was a RUNNER MANDATED SOCIAL (the best kind of mandate, let's be honest). The whole crew headed to the pub afterwards to raise a glass to our success. Cheers to making the world a better place, one pint and one piece of plastic at a time! 🍻

Same time next week for more fitness, friendship, and doing good!

Mission: Operation Hedge Fund 🌿💰 Location: Holy Trinity Task Owner: Nicole (making her official GG debut - hedging her bets on us!)

This week our magnificent crew ran to Holy Trinity where Nicole needed some serious hedge-ucation! The mission? Chop and lop those overgrown hedges down to size so no sneaky wrong'uns could lurk behind them. We weren't hedging our bets - we went all in! 💪🏼

Armed with loppers, choppers, and a trusty broom, we channelled our inner Edward Scissorhands and got stuck in. Let's just say our topiary skills were... a cut above? 🧹✂️ (Okay, maybe we're better at running than gardening, but we gave it a good trim!)

Tonight's Royal Rumble: 👑🎤 The conversation took a regal turn as we discovered our group is basically the Buckingham Palace of running clubs! We've got lineage going back to William the Conqueror, connections to Edward VIII, AND someone related to Kylie (we're assuming Minogue, not Jenner, but we should be so lucky!). Forget the Crown - we're living our own Netflix series!

Special Shout-Outs: 🌟 🎉 HUGE welcome to Nicole who flipped from task owner to official GoodGymer - talk about hedge-ing your bets on the right crowd! You absolutely smashed it!

👏 Our regular legends were out in force: Jo, Michael, Tilly, and Patrick - you're all absolute diamonds! 💎

🎂 And a MASSIVE thank you to Marks & Spensers via AA Yianny for the sweet treats to celebrate getting another year wiser (and clearly more generous)! Age is just a number, but cake is FOREVER. 🤗

Final verdict: Another hedge-cellent night of fitness, friendship, and foliage management! We came, we saw, we pruned! 🌿✨

Same time next week? We'll be there - you can hedge on it! 😉

Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! 💚

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! 🌿

The Dream Team 👏

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. You’ve set the bar-row very high! 🎉

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says “well done” like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). 🍪🤎

The Task 💪

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance 🦎

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! 👑

The Verdict ✨

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! 🏃‍♂️💚
