10 brilliant GoodGymers ran 5k to the Oasis Community Garden to water and sweep our way to community gardening glory.

A last minute change of task this week!! With our patterned paint colour range not available at Rhythms of Life we had to think on our feet and visit the Oasis Community Garden for one last time this year before the garden is put to bed for the Winter.

A strong 3.5k run to get us going up to the outskirts of Regent’s Park then back down into the buzz of Tottenham Court Road. Where we got stuck straight into the final watering and clear up task of 2018 in the Oasis Community Garden.

With the weather so dry the garden was very pleased to see us and the flowers, herbs, vegetables and plants were certainly very thirsty!!

Getting a solid rhythm of watering pouring out 75 watering cans in 30 productive minutes!

Getting the garden tidy was our other goal and with a range of brushes we swept and cleared all the leafs, debris away so the garden was looking beautiful!

With a little time in hand we ran over to Bedford square and smashed 20 minutes of leg sapping lower body strength developing circuits!! Done seriously strong performances on show, top work!!!

A shorter but very windy 1.5k run back to base rounded off a top session!!

See you next week when we will be heading g over to St Andrews Youth Club to help them out!

8 Westminster GoodGymers ran 7k to make sandwiches for One Big Family Homeless Charity.

Great to have you all along for a massively important task!!

With the nights drawing in earlier the strain on the charities who support the nations homeless population increases and no where is it more evident than in Westminster!!

One Big Family- Victoria are a tiny charity who provide food twice a week to Victoria’s homeless community with its main day being a Wednesday night.

We make such difference by essentially taking care of one week a month of the food preparation to allow the other volunteers to concentrate their efforts on the other 3.

A touristy Run South down to the Ebury Estate states off our evening raking up a solid 3.5k run along the way.

Meeting up a couple of the organisers we set about our task with speed and no less circular cutting precision!!

Bagging 80 pastries while wearing rubber gloves is no easy feat not to mention buttering 7 loads of bread, pate spreading and cheese arranging!!

A slick production line made light work of the task and in 30 efficient minutes we had completed the task!!

The trolley was locked and food loaded for a evening of distribution!!

A sharpe run back to base rounded off a very enjoyable evening!!

Look forward to next week for some more fun on the run!!
