With only 5 of us on the run this week, we got to know lots about each other and learned that Jack usually runs with GoodGym Wandsworth, Katie is leaving us soon to head back to the States, Siying has now done 5 good deeds with GoodGym, and Kelly might be looking for some running gloves if anyone has any suggestions?! We also chatted about the GoodGym Christmas Party which everyone is invited to on the 8th Dec.

We had a long and chilly run ahead of us tonight, but also a lovely task for this time of year, so we set off quickly and made our way 3km down the river to Tower Bridge.

The task: Now that it's almost December it's time to start thinking about all the Christmas and Winter events we want to start going to. That's what we were helping the community in Aldgate with by telling everyone about the Winter Fete they have taking place on Friday. It's open to all and will feature mulled wine and mince pies, so you can find out more here if you are interested in going along. We dropped flyers into all the cafes, pubs, bars, barbers & other shops we could see on our route around Tower Bridge and Liverpool Street, so hopefully some members of the local community will pick them up and pop along to the event on Friday.

Once finished headed back to King’s for some stretches in the warmth, and we were well prepped for some tasty dinners after smelling all the food when popping in and out of restaurants and cafes.

Really good running from everyone today, it was a long way for us! I'll see you next week, when we will be heading to south of the river to help at a charity shop.
