#WeekYforYearPast
Some of the best people I know, I’ve volunteered with them all year - this week we put up Christmas decorations at a day centre. #GoodGym Lewisham
Twelve people in red or black t shirts with GoodGym written on them on or at the foot of a small stage. A Christmas tree appears to be growing out of the head of an aged man sitting on the floor - it is probably because he forgot his actual hat with a Christmas tree.

‘Since the one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing, it only makes sense that’ whilst doing a #GoodGym mission to collect from a food bank I ran & danced to the Ezra Collective, seeing 3 herons, a kingfisher & a fox. The world is still a mess but I felt much better. #RunningPunks

I love pacing week at Catford #parkrun - I was at 30 minutes and helped a small group to a PB and a couple of 2025 bests. Course check (a crazy amount of litter picking) before, chatting and tree hugging afterwards. #GreenRunners #RunningPunks

Out with @goodgym.bsky.social last night for good deed 50

I love how goodgym give back to the local communities whilst keeping us in red shirts fit and active (especially when the task involves filling and moving sandbags around !!!)

An easy paced 8k through Sutcliffe Park (where a kingfisher momentarily perched on my litter picker yesterday) and then across the Heath before heading to a #GoodGym ‘mission.’ Autumnal temperatures, required a base layer. #RunningPunks #GreenRunners
Pigeons perched on the back of a park bench with a lake behind, blue skies above. Mainly Greylag Geese on a pond, a tree at the rear is reflected. Aging runner in orange 2021 London marathon t shirt and blue sunglasses. A pond is behind, blue skies above. A pyracanthas with trees and shrubs behind and a block of flats at the very rear.

Day 46

Half term means lighter traffic for the commute!

Two guesses which picture represents the disturbances at work today 🙈

The other one is a silly find on a little #Goodgym session this evening

My legs grumbled a lot during today’s 12.5k despite a pair of interludes - an unplanned one with Patricio from #Artmongers to water some trees in a community garden next to their Rainbow Bridge, the planned one to pick up food from #FeedTheHill for a disabled resident. #GreenRunners #RunningPunks
Some of the text from the information panel Rainbow Bridge - by Artmongers Text by Sarah Evans, Previously the artistic battleground of a long-running clash between graffiti artists and the local council, the recently renamed Rainbow Bridge now represents the contagious energy that can spread when a group of people choose to improve a shared environment for everyone. As the infamous lockdowns of 2020 forced us all away from one another, a symbol of hope began to spontaneously appear in windows across the country. Hand-drawn rainbows of all shapes and styles, shone out onto our streets and public spaces. Difficult to ignore, the rainbow began to morph into a symbol of resilience and strength through hard times. Although it was us that chose the bridge as our canvas, it was as though the rainbow itself demanded to be painted here. With the help of three hundred school children and members of the local community, we brought colour and life to a formerly unloved area of the public realm. In terms of shape, the rainbow and the bridge are perfectly matched: the colours sweep through the walkway in a smooth arch, gently rising to an apex before swooping back down to earth. Those at a lesser height may notice how the colours rise up above them, pulling them into the artwork. From small seeds, an abundance of creativity can bloom. Shortly after the completion of the bridge painting, the surrounding rainbow bridge gardens began to take shape. Starting out as a few plant pots balanced on top of a discarded wooden crate, now stands an impressive display of raised beds and homemade furniture - forming a garden as unique and dynamic as the group of people who came together to create it. With thanks to children and staff from Turnham Academy and Edmunid Waller Primary School To volunteer at the Aspinall Rd Community Gardens:Meetings Every Sunday 11 to 1pm Runner with red GoodGym t shirt holding paint splattered bucket just used for watering; he is standing next to Patricio from Artmongers who created the paint splattering who has a similar bucket and provided all the water.

#Goodgym #Barnet will be frolicking in ancient woodland this Saturday: www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/...

Great opportunity to come along and see what we do, if you've never done a session before!
Four sporty people in Goodgym branded t-shirts standing in Highgate woods, with tall trees behind them and lots of greenery. Fallen logs are lined up to mark the edge of paths. In the middle a fifth person - the forest ranger - stands with his thumbs up, smiling and wearing outdoorsy clothes. A dog sits on the left with his back to the camera. This is Gus. He is a labradoodle.

A lovely 21.6k run through Greenwich Park and along the Thames into central London, posing with Michael Caine & doing a food bank pick up via #GoodGym for a disabled resident on the way. Went back for sunglasses which didn’t need, but still forgot energy gels which did. #GreenRunners #RunningPunks
River Thames with decaying moorings at front, houseboats behind and a the rear Tower Bridge, the towers of the City of London and the dome of St Paul’s. House boats moored on former docks Runner with neon pink wind jacket and black hat that looks like a condom on his head. He is smiling, his run is going well and he is standing next to Michael Caine. It’s not the real one but a cast iron skeletal installation. The sky behind is grey and threatening although it only threatened. The view from the Royal Observatory. The Queen’s House, National Maritime Museum and Old Royal Naval College in the middle distance and the towers of London’s Docklands behind. The sky is blue - it didn’t last. At the front is Greenwich Park.

Volunteering at your local green space or with goodgym is super fun! Look how much fun we are having planting bluebells 🥰

Herons and their scruffy young, sleeping foxes and woodland - about 6k running, lots more walking before, during and after a trio of #GoodGym missions in the sun. A lovely long morning. #GreenRunners #RunningPunks
A pair of young herons together in their nest, one looking each direction. Leaves are beginning to show in front of the nest. The female heron standing on a branch overlooking the nest (see previous photo), agin leaves beginning to show. A young fox asleep on a river bank in the sun. Runner in red GoodGym t shirt with red base layer and red sunglasses - there is a theme .. the backdrop is an attractive woodland scene. It would almost certainly be better without him there (pop over to Insta to see this).

Probably my favourite Lewisham mural (we are spoiled for choice) in a tunnel close to the Ravensbourne by Lewisham School of Muralism en route home from a GoodGym Lewisham double mission to help the lovely Mr J with shopping and sorting letters. #GoodGym

I convinced myself that I was struggling whilst doing intervals this morning on Blackheath, but they were all much quicker than 3 weeks ago and I added another one in. Some #GoodGym plogging afterwards. #runningpunks

A Lewisham version of Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Running (about 8k), Trains & Buses, as I criss crossed Lewisham doing #goodgym activities (2 lots of shopping for disabled residents, some plogging, & helping an elderly resident sort out chaos left by a former lodger.) #RunningPunks #Greenrunners
The River Ravensbourne in Catford - a photo at water level looking downstream with an ultra wide angle lens. There are floating autumnal leaves close to the camera, largely bare trees along the river which appears to narrow rapidly. A woodland path covered with autumnal coloured leaves, some of it shaded by trees but other sections in sun, the trees are largely bare. Bits of blue sky are visible through the tree canopy. A tree with orange/brown leaves on it - below on the grass are dropped leaves of the same colour. Ageing, smiling runner in black GoodGym t shirt and red hat - he is standing next to a railway bridge onto which has been painted a mural of a kingfisher.

Unfortunately it’s not an area where Lewisham #GoodGym do competitive Christmas tree herding.
Four people who think that it is perfectly normal to ‘herd’ Christmas trees and take them to a collection point.

Will happily pass on he exact location as is easy to miss if coming from the Deptford Bridge end. Do litter picking every Friday morning there as a #GoodGym mission.

Will try to persuade my #GoodGym group to do this on our Monday night run.
