10 pumped up Westminster GoodGymers run 8k and moved 10k to deliver 350 flyers for Open Age charity to promote their over 50's Dance Mix class.

Spring is pretty much here!! On a mild and dry central London evening we prepared for action and discussed game plans in the almost tropical New Balance store. Heading out to the North West of the borough keeping to the quieter pedestrian roads we timed the crossings to almost perfection heading out under the Westway Flyover. As we approached the designated area we split into pairs and tried our hardest to negotiate the tricky entry systems in the flats while continually posting flyer after flyer into all inviting houses and businesses. Working our way all the way out to the boarders of the borough we decided for the last 10 minutes we would push the pace and cover Little Venice in Dance Mix glory and dominating a last flyer push as we rounded off a successful dose of flyering.

Heading back with an extra 2k of flyering movement in the legs we stuck together until we were clear of the flyover then anyone who wanted to push the pace had free license to roll on strong! James, Howard and Chris all upper the anti and sped the last 3k back at an impressive rate before looping back to join the rest of the crew and add on a bit more distance to the evening.

Some top running by everyone bagging over 4k on the way back to go with the rest of the evenings efforts! Well done Team.

Look forward to seeing you all again next week for another fun filled ** Running Adventure!!** sign up here.
