On the first Goodgym run of Spring, seven runners met to get fit, do good at Redbridge Lane West Allotments and ran 6km in the process.
With the clocks going forward and lighter evenings, it was great to have three new first time Goodgymers join the regular team at Wanstead House for an evening of getting fit and doing good.
With Helene, Sam and Mark given a warm welcome, the group was quickly off down the road for the 1.5 mile run to Redbridge Lane West Allotments. The task this week was to battle the weeds that threaten to return every time there is a period of rain and keep the allotment in great shape.
With handtools and gloves handed out the team were in great spirits tackling the stubborn weeds and making a huge improvement in the look of the allotment. With light fading fast, 30 minutes of weeding was all that could be done before a run around the local streets of Snaresbrook and Wanstead.
A special shout to Ellie, who had a nasty tumble on uneven pavement in the last 500m and cut her face. Get well soon Ellie!
