The Christmas spirit has started to descend on Goodgym Bexley and tonights task was the perfect opportunity to get into the festive mood! Our task was to spread the word about the upcoming Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice SANTA DASH fun run happening on Sunday at Danson Park. 13 enthusiastic runners met at Crook Log Leisure Centre discussing the events of the previous week and what lay ahead tonight. Leader for the night was Susan, who lead everyone in the warmup and breifed everyone on the task ahead. We then split into 2 teams,

Team 1: The Runners

Team 2: The Walkers.

Having been instructed on the roads to cover for the leaflet drop, Nick led the walkers while the rest headed for an Out'N'Back run aiming to deliver the leaflets on the run back. The runners then split into 2 teams, 1 covering either side of the road in a challenge to see who could distribute their leaflets first. This friendly competetion always inspires all to complete the task as quickly as they can and it's fair to say the Santa Dash was completed in a flash! Once there was not a leaflet left in sight, runners and walkers regrouped for the penultimate challenge of the night, the famous Goodgym Bexley wall sit-off! Chris and Sharine, were unbeatable and were joint winners at this weeks Sit-Off and out-sat everyone else. This was just what everyone needed and after the moans and groans we finished with a quick sprint back to base.

Well done everyone for making it out tonight! Kudos to Peter and Graham who ran at the Mo Run 10k at Greenwich Park yesterday!

Great job tonight Team Bexley!!! Hope to see everyone at the Santa Dash on Sunday!
