The rain yesterday was pretty horrid but by the grace of god it eased a little for our Good Deed at the Bexley Mencap offices. Having said this Bexley Goodgym probably have the toughest runners in the goodgym network (true story ;-) ) so as the title says "NO (P)RAIN, NO GAIN".

After signing in and warming up we split into our two groups. Runners were heading on a 3 mile loop, whilst the power walkers were taking the direct loop of around a mile.

On arrival we were greeted by Nick and the rest of the walking crew who had already set up the gear and had the kettle on for those that needed wringing out a bit. Our task was to get those windows looking awesome and to get the side alley tidied up. For those interested in a bit of Goodgym Bexley history, Bexley Mencap was our fist ever run and good deed when we launched in Bexley!!

With everyone hands on deck i decide to get some live footage of the team at work. You can check this out on our Twitter account. There's no better time to get involved with our crew. Everyone is welcome and as you have read we have runners and walkers in our gang.

With the task complete and the last of the tea supped up we took the direct route back to Crooklog. With people a little damp Sarah soon warmed everyone up by surprising us with some vegan chocolate velvet cake. Get in!!

SARAH SOON WARMED EVERYONE UP BY SURPRISING US WITH SOME CHOCOLATE VELVET VEGAN CAKE............

There's no better way to end your Monday then running with Bexley Goodgym.

Shout Outs!! Big hi five to everyone that came out in the rain. Big hi five to the Mencap Bexley crew, you rock! And finally a big hi five to Karl for completing his first Goodgym run and task. Have a great week guys.......
