14 amazing runners braved the threat of imminent rain during a balmy 5.5k run to help the lovely folk at Chapman's Green

Tonight, the wonderful runners from Haringey GoodGym welcomed their new trainer and, in what seem as the fashion, they were lovely and made him feel right at home. Result!

Big shout out to Mike who visited us for his second run and got stuck right in; to Rob from Barnet GoodGym for stopping by (hand in that transfer request, son - we'd like to see again soon); and to regular runner Latoya who completed a wonderful 10k run at the weekend despite having spent a whole week surviving on rations for charity. Hero!

A North London quick-sand

Tonight we headed towards Chapman's Green, running through a very peaceful Lordship Rec and a not so peaceful Lordship Lane. You win some, you lose some. All in all, it was around 2.8k. We were welcome by task owner Rob from Friends of Chapman Green, who set us to work on sanding the benches on the bowling green in the grounds.

Our keen runners did a fantastic job and managed to leave around half the benches on the green sanded. We can't wait to come back and finish the job if Rob and the Friends of Chapman's Green will have us back.

We then grabbed the mandatory Insta-worthy selfies and set off back for base camp.

By the time we were stretching outside Tottenham Green Pools, we had run a cool 5.5k.

No rest for the GoodGymmers

Next week we'll be visiting the lovely folk at Somerford Grove Community Project, who do a great job, and need some help with some weeding and some wood stacking. Come play with us!!!
