Back to proceedings last night, after a quiet session due to the semi final last week, numbers were back up and vibes were quintessentially GoodGym Newham.
Newbie Meghan assimilated into the ranks with consummate ease, hope you had a good first session. Our Random Weekly Question was courtesy of Sharon this week: "what's your favourite ice cream/ice lolly?" a question to get excited about, i'm sure you agree, and we did, mostly. Fabs, Calypos, Maxibons, Twisters, Soleros, Mini Milks, Sorbets, Choc Ices, Mint Magnums plus a gaspingly controversial banana lolly and cherry brandy lolly. Random Weekly Question, rarely educational but always insightful.
We cruised down to Cody Dock, topping up high vitamin D leveles and catching up on the week. Once there we watered the vast selection of planters that Vicki (Cody's Gardener) instructed us to. The blasting hot weather has somewhat scorched the plants, a return to the grey and damp british summer time is what these plants want. Your watering efforts providing much needed temporary respite and nourishment. The public docklands, free for you all to enjoy, with a lovely weekend cafe and an occasional bar really relies on volunteers to stay in such glorious nick. Proper community effort this.
After a run back, some sauntered off home into the sunset, others sat and caught up over a drink. A good evening's work team.
Next week we're most likely at Hackney Adventure Playground, just waiting for a confirmation email. Sign up here See you fine folk then, consider a light longer run this weekend to develop your fitness. Next session there'll be some fast and fluid intervals awaiting you.
