Twenty toned goodgym runners ran to deliver leaflets for Stephens House and Gardens. Unfortunately our original task had fallen through with a lack of support staff so plan B was put into operation. As usual we started at the Phoenix cinema with a count out and an in-depth discussion on the merits of cats and dogs. In the end the vote went to the dogs. The daylight was fast fading but we still had enough light to make use of Cherry Tree Wood for a warm up and a game of ‘stuck in the mud’ (with consequences.) This involved a restricted area where Graham, Rupesh, and Rob caught runners who then had the choice of squats or press ups to be released by other runners. Quite a work out. We finished with a few star jumps on the pretence of making a dynamic photo….I will leave you to judge the highest jump. Then to work delivering leaflets for the trust around the darkening streets of east finchley. Last time we did this it really did help the Trust raise money as bookings noticeably increased after our mail shot.(Particularly the Gin evening apparently! although other sober activities available including quiz nights & film nights) After delivering over 400 leaflets we returned to the Phoenix for a warm down. Sarah ( official unofficial social secretary) had booked a table for us at the Clissold Arms pub and it was great to see almost everyone come along. Give a shout out to our new runners Jordon and Beth..welcome!

Thanks for coming, running and doing good!
