It was an action packed GoodGym in Ealing last night filled with running around the beautiful parks of Ealing, planting for Walpole and Sally Squats! This week we decided to make our run a total of 3.71 miles to #finishformatt who sadly passed away running the London Marathon this year.

We started at our usual point at Bodyline Studios who kindly host us every week and welcomed brand new GoodGymer Catherine who really got stuck in throughout the whole night with both the running and the task, big welcome! After a quick discussion about what drink we fancied after the run (1st Tuesday of the month is always our social in Ealing) we were off down to to parks to complete a couple of laps before the task. We took in a big loop of Walpole followed by the mile lap of Lammas and it turned out to be a beautiful evening for it!

Planting Extravaganza!

We soon arrived at our planting spot in Walpole Park and were met by Vanessa who was ready in waiting with plenty of forks and trowels for us to get as much in the ground as we could in the time we had. There was no messing around and we were getting them planted quicker than Vanessa could lay out more ready to go in next, in no time at all we had planted everything she'd got ready for us!

With a little time to spare we headed out for a final through loops of the park to make up our distance and #finishformatt, we used the time to speak about it and how grateful we were to be able to run. 5 minutes to spare back at base meant we had time for little extra and round of Sally Squats it was. By the end of the song we agreed we all hated Sally and her squats and that we would have the tune ringing in our ears for the rest of the night!

Bring Sally up, bring Sally down...

And then to the pub we went! Thank you for coming and hopefully see you all next time!
