Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
It's Twitter's 10th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than by constructing a run report from tweets?
So, we had both a task and a mission tonight.
Danica, Aidan and Debbie were the missioners.
Danica (@DanicaPriest) tweeted:
We ran 6k to change 90yo Constance's curtains on a @GGIsling mission. Constance cracked up at @ajpadfield 's joke & Buster the cat was cute
Aidan (@ajpadfield) added:
Enjoyed a longer run with these two Lovely to meet @DanicaPriest coach, a very chatty and funny woman. (photo of Aidan, Debbie and Danica attached)
The rest of us, including first timers Helen and Andrew, and first timers to Islington Mo/Mohammed/Mush and Steve headed up to West London Mission - who provide a hostel and counselling services - to help clear up their back garden.
As Kike (@kagunbiade) explains:
short and sweet this week. We managed to get loads of garden clearing done inc destroying some nasty trailing brambles.
Patrick (@patrickluonguk) describes how Simon found a bone and wasn't sure what to do with it: (photo of Simon looking surprised at bone attached)
The bone of contention! Does a bone count as litter or compost? Where did it end up @SimonLoughran?
Post run we hit the fields for a combination of exercises and a continuous relay.
Graham (@guywholikesmuse) says:
Sprints into lunges was total #mondaynightmadness - great burst of energy to finish off the session
Alex (@alxndrleon) summarised the evening in a poem:
this week - just half a mile, raking dirt in piles, relay time trials and all round smiles :)
And Steve (@steveleedesign) did the whole evening with emojis (which doesn't display very well here. See photos for the full set):

Simon (@simonloughran) wasn't happy with the outcome of the social media debate and expressed his rage via a tweet:
We discuss the important questions at @ggisling and Facebook beat Twitter in the big debate last night #wrongoutcome
Biscuit of the week was announced pre-run by @ggisling itself:
Get down! (with a photo attached of three bags of new Digestive Nibbles)
So, there you have it. A big thanks to WLM and Anita for hosting us. We hope to be back soon and make a real project of it.
See you next week for a trip to Thornhill Square and some Hot (or cold) Cross Buns

We discuss the big issues at GG Islington. - "Which ones are weeds and which ones arenโt?" - "Well everything is a weed really." - "Thatโs true. Itโs just a matter of opinion." Profound philosophical ruminations followed. (Or possibly this was profound chewing of digestive biscuits.)
