12 Westminster GoodGymers ran 7k and moved 9k and delivered 375 leaflets to promote a Bone health course for Open Age charity.

We had a special guest this evening as new GoodGym Kings College London trainer Alyx joined us to take part of the session.

After a tip top introduction from Alix we headed out towards Marylebone fully loaded with flyers! Once we reached the area where the course will take place we split into two groups. Taking a side of the road each we used the leap frogged delivery method and powered our way North. A ** Maverick** squad delivered with care free abandon down the right hand side of each Street often nipping off just to scare me! While the left lane deliverers stuck to the script and gave me an easier time spotting them!

Picking up the running pace as we past Marylebone station and hit over drive on the roads west of Regents Park finishing off almost all the leaflets in 35 skilful minutes!

Given our location it seemed like a plan to go for a 3k loop around the Outer Circle of Regents Park! Although it did feel like an awful lot of other people had had the same idea and Frieze Art fair was also just closing we managed to zip around in no time ramping up the pace towards the end!

A little jaunt down Harley Street brought as back to base perfectly on time where Alyx Stretched is out before we headed off into the night with a top evenings GoodGym action under our belts!

Thanks for coming and hope to see you all next week for our visit to One Big Family homeless charity to make their food for the food run to Westminsters homeless community.

Smooth Running
