Ten fantastic people joined me to run over 7km to help out at Abbey Community Centre!
Having seen the heavens open quite dramatically I was unsure on who'd be brave enough to come out for GoodGym tonight but I wasn't disappointed as the group gathered.
After a quick intro where we congratulated Marcos on becoming a dad and welcomed Emily from GG Slough and ran through some of the upcoming 10th birthday celebrations we warmed up and then were on our way.
The journey to Abbey is a nice one but hills are unavoidable and I'd tried to engineer routes that made it as easy as possible! The journey there was about 3.3km and everyone worked hard to get there in good time.
Once at the centre we said hello to Simone and then worked out the the best way to handle the tasks we had. Bryony had listed out what we had to do. I handed out team leader roles to Emily and Tabitha and off we went! The task was to clean out the kitchen stores, the tea trolley and various other bits and bobs! We also checked the stock was in date and rearranged things to make them fit better. After 30 mins of hardworking everything was done and we even managed our bonus task of stapling copies of the newsletter together! The resounding memory was finding hundreds of sugar sachets in amongst all the various boxes!
With everything done we posed for a group photo and then headed off! Well we had a vote, longer route with fewer hills or go back the way we came with more hills on way back. We went longer and everyone went for it keeping a good pace all along!
Once back to base we stretched and the. We were done, another top night in Brent.
Cheers,
Pritesh
