Flyer Away

Twelve tremendous GoodGymmers met at the New Balance store on Oxford Street to flyer for Open Age this week. Open Age do brilliant exercise classes for free or very cheap to get local residents moving and they need our help spreading the word.

After a quick introduction (and two doc checks - nice one guys) we set off dodging pedestrians on our way to St James Park with Frances and Emily backmarking. We decided to aim for the big blocks of flats just past the park: it was busy and hot but we made it in quick time. We dispensed the flyers - and had a quick team photo - and set off posting flyers. As most blocks have closed off doors on the ground floor, we needed to keep our eyes peeled for where we could get to some letterboxes. Naturally, the team found some and we set about posting the flyers. A few residents stopped to ask us what it was all about and seemed happy to hear about it (and us!).

Flyers posted, we set off back to base. It was a hot night but the team kept up a brilliant pace. We stopped at the entrance to Green Park to do some drills before a progressive run up the hill towards piccadilly. Everyone set a brilliant pace up the hill and we needed a few seconds at the top to catch our breath!

From there it was a simple run back to base. Well done everyone and hope to see you all again sometime.
