Wet Wet Wet

12 Westminster GoodGymers ran 6.5km to One Big Family Victoria in the pouring rain to help sort out the store shed after the weekends fundraiser.

Thank you all so much for coming along! Great to have so many first timers!!

Little plug for next weeks session to St Andrews youth club who need help moving some furniture donations from a local office before next Friday! All hands on deck for a top task for an amazing institution!

Big shout out for the GoodGym Olympics on Saturday 3rd of August!! Sign ups are live and it is always a great day!! Click here for all information.

So it was wet but we were not deterred and glided South towards Victoria negotiating a million umbrellas and puddles almost Matrixing the rain drops with our pace!

3.5k down and we had reached the Ebury Estate meeting Mike from One Big Family. The task a little changed due to the weather had us sorting out one of the charity’s store sheds after its contents were crammed back in after a charity fundraiser last Sunday.

With the heavens really opening we worked fast and smart trying to keep as much dry as possible. Removing the mountain of stuff out then strategically putting it back in so that it was safe and useable. Shifting the toiletries to the front for easy access to be given out to Westminster’s homeless in the next couple of days finished off the task and we got on the road!!

Getting warm we decided to up the pace with a tempo effort from Victoria to Buckingham Palace getting that heart pumping and legs turning over! A short recovery shuffle over to the famous Green Park Drag for the final push of the evening where we dropped the hammer and drove our legs into 6th gear for a 2 minute rep up the gradual incline!!

With fitness and volunteer goals complete we made it back to base with a soggy but top group run complete!!
