16 Westminster GoodGymers ran 7k to One Big Family Homeless Charity in Victoria to make the food for the evenings Soup kitchen.

On a beautiful Spring evening we welcomed a flock of Goodgym Newbies for their maiden outing.

After a introduction in the New Balance store we headed South through the sights, sounds and many many people who were out and about in Central London.

Weaving our way past Palaces and through parks we made our way 3.5k to Ebury Estate where we met up with One Big Family legend Mike!

A quick wash of the hands and we orchestrated an efficient and compact production line producing 3 loaves of Jam sandwiches, 3 loaves of Cheese sandwiches, 36 buns of Vegetarian Ham, cut up 150 slices of pizza bread and 50 slices of cake. All bagged up, allergy dotted and stacked up in 25 minutes!!

A quick wash up and we were off back through the slightly quieter streets back to base. Picking up the pace at the front and maintaining a steady rhythm at the back smashed through the first 2k of the run back before ** Unleashing Fury** on the Green Park drag with some powerful 500m efforts from everyone all the way up the slope to the gates of recovery!!

A relaxed jog back from there was well earned and a stretch and a clap and we were done!!

Great effort tonight! Hope to see you along for the run next week! Be great to have you along to the Special Easter Egg give away where we will run around town handing out Spring cheer to the homeless and youngest kids at St Andrews Youth Club. If you are able to bring along a donation or 2 no matter how big or small it will be great!!

Smooth Running
