When the spooky chips are down
13 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Muswell Hill Food Bank in Barnet.
- Tuesday, 31st of October 2017
- Led by Paul Bown
13 of GG Barnet's finest ran 4km, helped Northwold Rose Gardens & did a pyramid session
On a full moon Halloween evening we gathered at the Phoneix Cinema, welcomed newbie Wendy and talked about the news:
- Last GG Monthly Drinks of the year next Thursday in Stratford - all details here
- GG Christmas Party is on Friday 8th December at Battersea Art Centre - costume theme is BLACK & RED!
- There is an Unofficial Unofficial GoodGym Facebook Group if you'd like to join, it's full of news, races, meet ups and more. Just say your from Barnet in the request and I'll accept you.
Led by Damian and backed by Freya we headed to Northwold Rose Gardens to help Brian with some gardening. This was none of your weeding in the dark lark, our tasks for the evening were follows:
- Shovelling, wheelbarrowing and laying woodchip around hedges and trees.
- Emptying out three compost (curry flavoured) bins onto various plants to help keep it rich and well fed.
Splitting into small teams we got to work. Various tasks featured Skelton (Freya), BadGym Rep (Damian) and Death (Paul) - nice one for dressing up guys! Slightly terrifying...
Pyramid session IN the dark!
After 30 mins of spooky graft we were done and went to the dark tennis courts for a pyramid session - 1-2-1 for speed efforts with 1 minute recovery in between. Using the tennis court fences we could work out where we were.
Once we completed our 2km run back, we stretched and handed our treats (no tricks).
Sign up for next week here, I'm covering for Pennie again as she'll be recovering from NYC Marathon - good luck!
