Five fantastic, resilient Goodgym members came despite heavy rain. Unfortunately the host that evening cancelled our planned assistance at Friary Park. It was probably for the best being our longest run of 6 miles in total. Plan B was put into action as we decided to deliver some GoodGym leaflets to the local people of East Finchley. Running down the High Street our best bet was to get to the station and intercept would be members as they exited the station. We literally had to jump streams of running water. Check out the photo of Niki leaping across a road of water! It’s not an easy thing to engage with people after a hard days work in the pouring rain, but we managed to distribute about 30 leaflets to some likely looking candidates. Most importantly, we had a laugh! Skipping over puddles, dodging the worst of the rain, people ignoring us. There was even one guy that started limping as soon as we asked if he was a runner? 😂 Well done for weathering, the storm showing some grit and facing up to rejection! A most memorable day, certainly very different! But that’s good, right? And you know what we needed the rain!
