Last night nine noble GoodGymmers ran 6k for Abbey Community Centre to promote their new coffee morning.
Meeting at the Queensbury, we were paid tribute to Pritesh and the rest of Sunday's marathoners while thinking how lucky we were to have avoided the heavy rain.
After a quick warm up we set off following me with Danny kindly backmarking. We made quick progress, noting the tasty looking pubs on route, before arriving at Abbey to meet our contact Sabine. She handed over loads of leaflets are asked us to focus on the housing closest to the centre. As it's surround by flats, that wasn't a problem.
We divided into teams: Danny's team heading north, mine headed south with stacks of leaflets in hand. We dashed up and down stairs, down alleyways and around the blocks to find the right access doors. 25 minutes later we had posted a LOAD of flyers and met back at the community centre.
We set off back, but not before a wistful look at the table tennis players at Abbey: maybe we could join them one day?! The run back was nice and quick with Tom and Samina setting the pace.
We got back and celebrated with stretches and high fives. Well done team! I'll see you all soon.
Remember the GG Brent social quizzing at the Queensbury on Wednesday!
