19 of Westminsters finest GoodGymers ran 6.5k to One Big Family homeless charity and prepared all their food for the evenings food run for the homeless.

Great to have some GoodGym Newbies, our regulars and a number of returning GoodGym heroes!!

A super busy evening on Oxford Street was no match for our weaving skills as we ran south through Mayfair, Green Park, Victoria and on to the Ebury Estate youth centre where we met Mike who is the heart and soul of One Big Family Victoria.

Splitting up into Team Jam, Team Cheese, Team Ham and Team Cake we set up our precise production line for some speedy food creation!! We got into a brilliant rhythm cutting, buttering, filling and bagging and smashed out 300 sandwiches and rolls eking out every last drop of jam by the end!

A quick fill of the industrial sized tea urns and a swift clear up rounded off 35 minutes of productive, speedy and so very important work out the areas homeless community.

Like a flash we were off in unaccustomed darkness powering back towards base. Covering the first mile in no time before we took stock outside Liz's house. With one last big push up the Green Park drag we had worked hard!!

A quick stretch out and round of applause in the New Balance store for a Great GoodGym effort!

See you next week for some more fun on the run!

Smooth Running
