Meanwhile in Westminster we headed back to Rhythms of Life to continue helping them clean, clear, lift and shift in preparation for their upcoming fund raising event.

Rumour had it congestion on the tube was causing delays for commuters. SO our GoodGymers ran to us to avoid getting caught up in all that, I mean seriously who would risk missing a Wednesday night?

We discussed the inner workings, the tasks, the pairing, racing and of course our ability to make things happen on a weekend and we were our the door.

A 1 mile jog to Rhythms of Life where we would sweep and mop the giant room where Andrew planned to hold the fund raiser, luckily the mouse didn't make a VIP Appearance.

Whilst one group attacked the wild overgrown bushes and weeds another dismantled gazebos that had clearly been left out to suffer alone in the rain.

With 30 minutes on the clock we made light work of this beautiful manual labour and were out the door in 28min.

On departure I asked two simple questions, do you want the long hard way back? Or the short and fast?

So from each traffic light to the next we picked a hare and we chased that hare as if they were carrying special nutrients needed to get back safely.

Great session, just remember DOMS will more than likely come on day 2 :-)
