8 Westminster GoodGymers ran 7km or 11km to help both Open age and the Oasis community garden.
With a last minute SOS call from the Oasis community garden we had a little added efforts needed for tonight’s Group running endeavours!!
Splitting the group in 2 some powerful running was needed from make the session work! The splinter group weaved their way East to the Oasis Community Garden to drop some emergency watering to the garden as another volunteering group was unable to do their session this month. Quick a flash Anil, Frances and Chi dashed over there, watered like they were in A fire and rescue squad did a little tidying and stormed West to meet the rest of the squad.
A longer than normal run took us all the way out to Paddington where we were helping Open Age charity promote there courses this month primarily the course for people with English as a second language and are typically difficult to reach.
Running a strong 3.5k out to the Hallfield Estate we split into pairs and tackled some big tower blocks delivering at a very impressive rate!!
In no time we had completed 5 blocks and were then joined by the double agents to tackle a couple of 10 floor blocks! Plenty of stairs were climes and 500 leaflets delivered in perfect timing!!
Heading back with a bounce in our steps we picked up the pace going through Hyde park and finishing with a speedy weave along Oxford Street!!
Big shout out to Chi who with this group run completed a very special GoodGym feat!! A Group Run in every London GoodGym area!! huge dedication and congratulations!!
See you next week for a trip to One Big Family to make food for the homeless!!
Smooth Running
