Jade has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Jade is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

20 awesome runners ran 4km to post flyers for the Blackheath Age Exchange Christmas Fair!
WOW WOW WOW what a wonderful turnout last night, thanks for being so awesome and keen, especially on a flyering task!! But maybe that's WHY there were so many of you, you guys clearly LOVE a flyering task!!
We welcomed two new runners to the group, Jade and Thomas who are over from France for five months as part of their studies. Hope you had a good first run with us! Tom actually came over to me last week when you guys were all running your 1km time trial and had to find out what GG was all about!
We had A LOT of flyers to get through. I actually had 2500 but couldn't physically carry them all with me so I brought about half of them. Each little chunk was 50 cards. We split into two groups.. I thought I sent an email earlier in the day with a map of where each group was going... turns out it was still sitting in my drafts....NOOOO! Anyway things don't always go to plan at GoodGym and so we improvise! I drew a line on a Google map screenshot, sent it to Sara heading up group 2 so we didn't duplicate any streets. What could go wrong? Well in Sara's group nothing, but in my group, everything! HA.
We headed off, up the hill and got to Westcombe Park Road where we split. My group split up again with half going to the very end of the road and then the idea was to flyer the houses and eventually meet in the middle... turns out that absolutely did not happen and I lost the whole group... good one coach. After a little jog trying to find everyone, I eventually came across one half of my team who were running down Maze Hill and then met the others back at the uni... phew everyone was accounted for! No search parties required.
Group 2 emerged shortly after and sounded like they had great success! No one got lost (always a bonus) and a whopping load of flyers were distributed... nice work!!! Clearly Sara cracked the whip a little harder than I did hahaa!!
A few flyers were left over but all in all a WONDERFUL effort. Huge thanks to those who took some home to distribute around your area! Extra GoodGym points for you!!
We ended the evening as we always do with a few good stretches et voila!
GG10 Party
Final call for the big GoodGym social taking place on Friday! All the details are here if you can make it! If there was even one person from Greenwich I think it would make Pritesh's year.
Great job everyone! If you all managed to get rid of one pack of cards that means we delivered 1000 which is pretty good going! And some of you did more than one pack so even better! See you next week when we will be going back to Ballast Quay!
