The GoodGymers who ran last night from Ealing Broadway to Acton were wet in seconds after leaving the covers of Spring Bridge Mews. True or false? False. They had been soaked long before meeting at the starting point.

Yes, that group run was certainly in the "wet one" category, and yes, the weather was less than ideal for a leafletting activity. Fortunately, shortly after Sevan, Steph, and Kash arrived in Acton and met Maria with an umbrella, the rain eased, and the four were able to kick off the task.

On behalf of Action West London, we've been walking around Acton to post flyers about another round of the Movement on the Mount, a free community exercise programme helping women overcome barriers to being active through weekly fitness sessions at St Mary’s Church Hall. The registrations for next Movement on the Mount were about to close in less than a week, so the deadline was tight to get the word out.

We hit the streets North of Springfield Gardens. Some were a good fit for the target audience (Essex Rd, Hereford Rd, Shalimar Gardens), others not so much (Creswick Road, Pierrepoint Rd, Lynton Rd, with big houses and flats with no outside postboxes).

By the end of the task, our leaflet envelopes were empty and our minds full of hope that women who may face challenges accessing exercise, such as low confidence, caring responsibilities, limited income, or their cultural background, will find their way to the Mount.

According to Steph's stats, each of us walked 3.33km during the task - that's halfway to beast mode, if you know what I mean!

Next week we're heading towards Northfields and Blondin Park for a run, a woodchipping task, and most importantly, hot chocolate! Sign up now!
