9 sweaty GoodGymers ran 7k to One Big Family homeless charity to prepare to food offering for the weekly soup kitchen.
We were scared as we all met at the New Balance store worried that the dark clouds would deliver the seemingly impending monsoon??!!?? But to GoodGym positive vibes won out and we were treated to a positively beautiful sunny summer evening! Trying out a new route with variable success as we pushed it up through Mayfair and past Liz's house we swiftly knocked out 3.5k in no time (apart from crossing roads).
Meeting Mike it was all change on the Ebury estate as we had moved from the hut to the youth club where we had loads of space to get cracking! Launching into our patented sandwich production line we hate Cheese mountains being grated, bread butting and sandwich filling in slick unison! While pastries were being bagged and the worst job of all amazing cake being sliced and diced up!
Amazing self control on show by everyone! It was not easy!!
35 minutes and the feasted had been founded, all ready to be distributed to Westminsters homeless community this evening.
With cake and cheese on the brain we headed off picking up the pace back to base. Hectic accelerations on show as we came up to St James's Park and up the mean Green Park drag!
A little recovery jog from there and a revitalising static stretch out before we head off to indulge the evenings well earned cravings!
Lovely to have you along for our Wednesday dose of running run, hope to see you all again next week.

13 sizzling GoodGymers ran 5k to St Andrews Youth Club to help keep the gym in top shape and threw in a double dose of shuttle running circuits.
A smoking hot evening in London Town provided a great setting for a few GG first timers! We headed off through the busy Central London streets working the pace as we made our way to The Mall for a series of shuttle sprints and high powered body weight exercises.
After our heart rates were jumping and the shuttles got a little competitive it was time to make our way to St Andrews Youth Club to help them out for the evening.
Unfortunately we were not able to do the task as planned as the hall was already in use so we gloved up and cleaned our way to glory in the busy gym. Working our magic we made the room sparkle our help is vital in allowing the Youth Club thrive by focusing the limited funding on activities for young people rather than maintaining the building.
Then we were off, heading up to Green Park to attack 12 minutes of body weight circuits! Smashing out Three 30 second efforts in a row of a Core blast, CV crusher and Leg basher increased the fitness big time before we ran back to base for a stretch out.
Great work everyone! Hope to see you all next week for our visit to One Big Family Homeless charity to help prepare the food for the evenings food drop!
