Putting the sparkle back in Wanstead

On a pleasant spring evening, seven of Goodgym's very bestest runners met to clean windows and had an adventure in Epping Forest, covering 6km in the process.

With stories of running and cheering the amazing London Marathon motivating the team, we headed out on to the mean streets of Wandstead to do our regular window cleaning task and bring a sparkle to the high street. We were fortunate to be joined by [Sam](https://www.goodgym.org/runners/sam-whitham0 for his very first Goodgym run ever and also Cedric join us again after a layoff with an annoying case of anterior tibialis. Welcome Sam and welcome back Cedric.

This week we did a super quick once over of the windows at Barnados. By doing these simple tasks we save the shop money which can be used for more constructive things. Small tasks cam make a big difference and with the sparkle put back into the store, we were soon of to explore Epping Forest, just a short run from our base at Wanstead House.

Epping Forest and Eagle Pond is one of our favourite summer run spots and its hard to believe we were only half an hour from central London as we explore the single track paths behind the lake. Before long we were back at base after running 6km and ready for some nice relaxing stretches to avoid those post-run aches and pains.

Fancy getting involved? Why not join us each Monday and do good and get fit in the Borough. It couldn't be more simple than clicking on the link to the right...
