Tonight we visited St Patrick’s Montessori Day Nursery, who deliver a fantastic service for children in the local area (0-5 yr olds!). We also ran 4km and chucked a few hill sprints in for good measure.

We had two new runners this evening - Liv and Meran - so give them a cheer for coming along GoodGym!

After all that news it was about time we headed out on the run - with Nina and Bryony back-marking we made our way down embankment and over Blackfriars Bridge, waving to a cheerful runner in a GoodGym top as he strode by. We stopped off to do a squat hold and some step-ups on the way over, but that didn't slow us down and we made it to the nursery very quickly.

The task: We met the very cheerful Lynnsey at the nursery and she split us up into 3 teams. 1 group tackled cutting out some flyers to put into jars, another took on the tricky task of filming the windows in the newly decorated baby room, and the final group headed to the kitchen hallway to clean some walls and re-shelve some storage. With lots of work to do we got cracking straight away. It took a while to work out how to re-shelve the kitchen storage, but with all our GoodGym minds put together we figured it out just in time and managed to raise all the shelves up before we had to leave. The group filming the windows had a big task as they had to make sure the windows were perfectly clean before measuring and cutting the film to size and sticking it to the window - I'm sure the nursery kids will love the work we did in there! With all the jars filled, 2 windows filmed, kitchen hallway cleaned and storage re-shelved, we waved goodbye to Lynnsey and the nursery and ran back to King's.

We arrived back with 5 minutes to spare - just enough time to squeeze in some hill sprints on Surrey Street! We focused on making sure the front of the foot made contact with the floor first, pumping our arms and keeping our torsos upright.

Fab running everyone! Join me next week for some more fun, games, running and doing good!
