GoodGym Barnet runners came together on Halloween to support the Phoenix Cinema, one of the oldest purpose-built cinemas in the UK by delivering leaflets to the nearby homes in East Finchley. The session was led by Antonio who made sure we had a spooktacular workout. We had some new faces and guests, including Abby Ben, and Cherian who have recently joined us to get stuck in helping the community and getting fit! We also had a guest runner from Canada, Tony Marra , who is premiering his film Run Boston this Saturday. He has generously offered GoodGym runners free tickets!

We then started our run and delivery of leaflets behind Cherry Tree Woods. As is traditional, we made sure we delivered a leaflet to a very famous popstar living nearby. Unfortunately, he wasn’t home, probably out trick or treating like the rest of the population! To make sure we had a good workout, Antonio included some uphill sprints to make sure we had a good hit session before warming down back at the Phoenix Cinema . It was great to have a chat and drink after. Thanks to the Phoenix for giving us some free pumpkin cake! Yummy 🎃🍰 In terms of spooky the omni presence of the Grim Reaper was good, but the award goes jointly to Moya and Beattie for their subtle, scary costumes!
