Wash & Go
5 GoodGymers made their way 5.2km to help their local community in Redbridge.

Five Goodgymmers shook off the Monday Blues and gathered at our base in Wanstead for a task & run. Trainer James had to turn back when he was near (hope all was ok in the end) but he sent instructions for the task planned. So after what seemed an eternity (we need to source a better hot water tap!), the bucket was filled with warm water and armed with squeegees & applicators (technical name, according to Google, honestly!) we made our way down the high street to continue the project started in December - cleaning windows for local charity shops.
This time it was the turn of Barnardos. With improvised 'stepping stools' borrowed from The Manor House, the windows were attacked with soapy water and sparkling clean in no time whatsoever. A walk back to base to drop off the equipment and it was time for a run. Quick discussion later the decision was made to go for a steady long run rather than an interval session - democracy at work!
A nice 5 and a bit km and a stretching session later it was time to pack up and go home, happy and tired, looking forward to next weeks challenge.
