With the wind in our sails
32 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the Brixton Windmill in Lambeth.

We did a nice warm up and then split off into a long run and short run groups. George C took the long runners off on a nice 5km loop around Brockwell Park.
The rest of us headed 1.5km up to Brixton Windmill. This historic building is a hidden gem and the surrounding gardens are used to grow wheat and hops. Our job was to fill up three big tubs with soil and remove and replant some shrubbery.
It's good enough. Said Jean
High praise indeed.
People got digging, wheelbarrowing and moving the soil with their hands. As the long run group turned up, we had nearly finished so we left a small number there with Jean to finish up. The rest headed back to base and went through some running drills. The focus was on keeping the body forward and hips high when running, with our feet falling under our body.
After some nice stretches, we headed off home.
