Another lovely summer's evening, another chance to do good in the community and get fitter in the process!

After a weekend of parkruns, GoodGym rounders, missions and more, we met at our usual spot to do a warm and, as an extra challenge, guess how many different parkrun locations there are in the UK. With estimates ranging from 100 up to 800, it was a surprise to find out there are actually more than 1100. If you want to find out more and try one out if you haven't already, then you can find out more right here. Wear your GG tshirt and there will always be a friendly face to support you on a Saturday morning!

It was great to welcome Ali to her first Wandsworth session, and to see some returning faces and ones from other areas too! Cheers all round.

After a short run down to Doddington roof garden where we met up with more GGers, we were excited/dismayed (delete as appropriate) to find that our task for the evening was shifting the last of the bags of compost up the stairs to the garden. We didn't waste any time, and in a surprisingly short window managed to get the last 80 or so bags up to the garden, and even tackle a few more jobs while we were there.

We rewarded the hard work with even more hard work, in the shape of a conditioning session on the grass watched over by the gorgeous Leo, who, as Annabel pointed out, even showed us the right technique for downward facing dog.

Great work everyone! This week we have a task tomorrow helping out an environmental waste charity, and a mission on Saturday helping to put out tables ahead of a community day. Have a happy week of running, missioning and doing good, all!
