15 battle hardened Westminster GoodGymers battled the start of Winter by running 7k to Little Venice and start out canal path clear up!

** News** Do forget next week is the St Andrew Youth Club Games!! We will be battling in a range of activities with the oldest youth club in the world! We need you so please come along!

The GoodGym Christmas party is around the corner on the 1st of December in Burgess Park. Fun and frolics all round so come along!

With a need to get warm we started fast and got our blood pumping to our extremities! We powered our way 3.5km to Little Venice in the North West of the Borough.

It was our first trip with our partnership with the Canal and River trust to adopt a section of Canal path. We were fully stocked up with kit!! Grabbers, gloves, buckets and hand sanitiser on the ready in our new swish locked mini shed.

After a couple of key wriggles we were in, geared up and out picking to our hearts content!

Filling the buckets at a pace, finding the weird and wonderful that had been left on the Canal path. Super importantly keeping the bad stuff out of the water system!!

25 minutes of picking action yielded success and we filled every bucket before a quick tip out, tidy up and lock up.

Zipping back to Oxford Street we battled hard to maintain pace over a longer than our usual distance, great job with your running!!

A blast of warmth back at New Balance helped to thaw us out for our journeys home!

Thanks for coming along!!

See you next week

Smooth Running
