Teaky Grinders

Perfect summer running weather provided a warm welcome for the group to the streets of the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames for one of our further beneficiaries from our start point in Richmond town centre. This evening we trialled out a second stop which allowed those who live on the other side of the river to fall into stride with us as we ran through St Margaret's and into Twickenham. Red GoodGym t-shirts ablaze, we carried on running, chatting about life, the Olympics and everything to lovely INS.

INS are always so welcoming to us and always bring out the water when we arrive. This evening's task involved prepping and rejuvenating garden furniture and the front door with plenty of sanding before filling, painting and oiling took place.

In classic GoodGym style, the transformation was both satisfying and speedy, a necessity to make sure those who wanted to could be home in time for the 800m Olympic final, or the half price Itsu sushi, whatever the motivation it encouraged a swift return run!

INS have asked us to come back to paint the railings and the office spaces indoors, so keep an eye out for further tasks at the location.
