We were a small but perfectly formed group last night as we welcomed Nia to her very first GoodGym run (give her a cheer!) , and got ready to head down to Sacred Heart school for our second visit.

Before we could set off we did our usual warm up and I gave the group a challenge (which I immediately failed...thanks Gemma for helping me out!). Can you name a country that begins with the same letter as the first letter of your name? Everybody nailed it with places including Angola, Lithuania and Germany. Anyone else for a holiday?!

After a brief run down to the school and being carefully checked out by the most enormous cat, we arrived at the school to finish off the task we started last week. We had already got rid of most of the chicken coop, and the efforts of some parents over the weekend had also cleared some more of the area, so this week was all about taking down the last coop and wire and giving it all a good dig over.

The coop did take a bit of careful handling but with a bit of muscle we were able to lift it over the fence ready for collection - look out for it at the Waste Not Want Not charity near Clapham Junction where I understand it is going to be converted into a planter!

After some elbow grease with the spades, forks and rakes the area was looking a lot clearer, all ready to be turned into an amazing sounding meteorological station for the kids. Thanks for coming in on your hols to supervise Headteacher Jared!

We then nipped round the corner to find a space for our fitness session, and set about knocking out a whole body workout which featured planks, burpees, and squats - all the good stuff! Great work everyone.

Next week we have a double whammy of our group run to a local community garden followed by our Easter social. We also have a lunchtime mission on Friday helping out at a homeless shelter. Happy running all!
