Garage Nation
13 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km to help their local community in Westminster.

13 rain fearing GoodGymers ran 5k to St Andrews Youth Club to sort out the huge garage with a New Year Clear our.
With the crazy downpour of the day there was a sigh of relief when just in the nick of time the clouds cleared and the rain stopped!
So with a hop, Skip and a jump over puddles we made our way down through a royal park and past a palace or two to meet Adrian and everyone at the amazing and vibrant St Andrews Youth Club.
Great to have a couple of GoodGym first timers along for the run to a firm Westminster favourite!
Entering the garage there was a heap of kit that had seen better days and with the new shelving coming in a week or so now was the time to clear ship! Now that is easier said than done as Adrian loves to hold onto everything he can but with a little encouragement a nice size pile of unused and mostly broken stuff ready for the refuse collectors in the morning!
A little rejig of the current cupboards allowed us to store away a lot of the bulky sports kit and the garage was transformed in 35 effective minutes of GoodGyming!!
To celebrate our work we took a trip down to the newly painted and decorated SW1 Gym and hit up 8 minutes of serious full body conditioning!! Really having to dig deep to hang on for the final static squat off!!
Off we ran into the Central London night with a Spring in our step (well mentally at least after the leg workout) getting back to base in good time for a stretch and round of applause!!
Thanks for coming out and hope you had a good time! Hope to see you again next week for some more Fun on the Run when we visit ** One Big Family** Homeless Charity.
Have a great week!
Smooth Running
