At GoodGym Westminster last night 14 runners ran 8.7 - 9.7 km to clear litter and leaves from St Saviour's churchyard in Pimlico.
Unbe-leaf-able scenes an easy 5km down to St Saviours Church with some bum-kicking, high-skipping, bridge-sprinting action thrown in for good measure that got everybody smiling and all of New Bond Street looking at us like madmen and women.
We bundled into the church, greeted by a gentleman wielding two bottles of wine (we'll have those thanks!), grabbed our leaf and litter-picking apparatus and got going clearing the churchyard of unwanted bits and pieces. First prize for weirdest object was for two US mobile phone chargers - a real head-scratcher that one!
The mystery of the chargers sadly unsolved, we headed back into the quickly-chilling evening to St James Park where a few brave souls chose to sprint the long way round the park (an extra 1km!). The rest of us took in the beautiful views at a leisurely pace and did some killers squats and on the spot fast-feet until the sprinters caught us.
We headed back to base with a couple of chase the hares thrown in for good measure, and returned home a happy, sweaty bunch of goodgymers.
Well done to everyone for pushing themselves we had a whole litter fun!

Rita 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.

Meanwhile in Westminster we headed down to the Salvation Army to drop off some food and clothing for residents and rough sleepers.
We met as usual at Wesminster university. We had a few newbies who had never run with us before so they were given the extended ever so special briefing on why what we do is so much fun and of course rewarding and helpful.
We loaded ourselves up with clothes, food and footwear then set off making our way steadily down Bond Street in this new found brightness.
We arrived safely and were welcomed in by Gareth who would be our guide for evening.
As usual we left all our donations on the table where the residents could pick them up at their leisure.
This would sadly be our last visit to this particular centre in its current form as after 96 years in the building the Salvation Army will be moving else where as another provider is taking over.
After an in depth talk on the history and future of the Salvation Army we said our thankyous, goodbyes and of course wished them well at their new home.
We headed back in formation at pace just to see what we all had in our legs. Did we enjoy it? Of course we did.
As always, thank you for your time.
Hopefully see you all soon.
