12 all action GoodGymers ran 5k to the Oasis Community garden to help aid the gardens growing process!

We got the payoff this week after battling through the torrential rain of a week ago we were greeted with a beautiful summers evening.

We were joined by GoodGym first timers Lewis and David welcome onboard look forward to seeing you on many more group runs to come!

With everything in order we go down to business with a 2.5k loop out avoiding as much of the Wednesday evening Central London footfall as possible. But the Green man was not our friend and we played a bit of a game of how many lights could we hit on 1 run. Depending on how you look at it think we hit a perfect score!

Arriving at the Oasis community garden with bated breath as to weather the tap was going to work or would we with filling up watering cans from the outdoor showers! Luckily not only was the tap fixed but a new shiny nozzle was in place to aid the process.

Grabbing watering cans, randomly heavy buckets and even a washing up bowl we got to work giving the amazing flower, vegetable, and herbs a really good drenching! Great to see the garden thriving this summer, With so many things bearing fruit to be used in the local community.

We also had Howard and Ruth giving the garden a real good tidy, sweeping and clearing everything in sight. With 25 minutes of action the garden was looking well fed and totally on point!

So on the request on Emily we ran up to Bedford square for 15 minutes of circuit training. Reading between the lines of what Emily said I could tell she wanted an intense Circuit Blast!! hopefully I didn't disappoint!! 4 stations of fury hitting up every body part, strength, stamina, coordination and balance all being tested with a plethora of exercises!

With a great effort by all dominating with super enthusiasm, athleticism and honing our techniques in the process! Fitness was certainly increased in Westminster!!

Heading back on the longer loop back to base and finishing with the ever important static stretches only left to remind everyone at next weeks post Group Run Burrito 🌯 Social unfortunately it is to say Goodbye to GoodGym Westminster regular Ruth as she heads up North for her next Adventure! Would be great to have you all along for a chat, drink and refuelling bite to eat!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
