Meanwhile in Westminster 13 of the most hardcore GoodGymers headed through the dark dark parks to get to the canal and the surrounding areas. Why? To give them our monthly clean, to rid the path of leaves that both the young and old may find hazardous whilst wondering around in the rain.

Tonight was advertised as a taster session and in true goodgym fashion we had lots of newbies. To my surprise yet again we just had ladies. I'm not complaining but gents you are giving us a bad name, do you not fancy doing Good anymore? lol

Now sadly winter is upon which means we will only have a few more weeks until we have to stop running through Regents Park, instead we will have to run around the perimeter which may or may not add a sneaky K or 2 to our journey.

Anyhow we just about managed it this week, just as the doors were closing we smiled at the Security guard and bolted through the gate.

A quick game of follow the leader leader and indian file we arrived at the canal, a quick blast picking up all that lovely trash that people had dumped as well as leaves that were wet and nicely ground into the concrete, perfect slipping material for runners and cyclists.

15minutes passed and area was spotless, we then headed further up the toe path where the wind had blown all the leaves. Now even though this area was not in the list we felt it our duty to clear it as well as all we could think about was someone slipping and hurting themselves. Another 10minutes and we were off.

3k hard back to base, some stretching, smiles, lots of high fives and definitely some GoodGym Converts for life.

Thanks for coming, see you all next week
