8 M GoodGymers ran 10k to give 60 Easter Eggs to the homeless community of Westminster.

On a chilly spring evening we really stretched our running distance with an epic route taking in many of London's most famous landmarks.

We got the Eggs rolling straight out the store and search all over Westminster borough as well as apparently real Westminster to. The Eggs were particularly well received in Trafalgar Square picking up hugs, shouts and fist bumps!!

With us still being a little loaded we decided maybe slightly unwisely to loop back via One Big Family Homeless kitchen to drop off the remaining Eggs. The Eggs were warmly received and will be given out in the evenings food parcels but added maybe a few too many K's to the run. But onwards we marched all the way back to base racking up the distance and helping the homeless community of Westminster!!

Think we all earned our refuel tonight, well done to everyone for sticking to it and gritting it out.

Next week I promise a shorter 5k loop to St Andrews Youth club (oldest Youth club in the world) to help them out with some physical tasks and a bit of cleaning.

Hope to see you there, have a great week!!

Smooth Running
