Thats just the way we roll - A splash of paint, a piece of cake and a run of course
14 GoodGymers made their way 5.1km to help the St Paul's United Reformed Church in Croydon.

14 runners dashed to St Paul's United Reformed Church in South Croydon to help with painting a room. This was not before we celebrated the 50th good deed of Nicola. Conroy surprised her with a huge artisan cookie with a GoodGym 50 good deeds t shirt ( a chocolate one of course) at the centre.
When we arrived at the church we were met by the lovely hosts who had prepared all the paint, brushes and rolls our crew needed. We buckled down to painting and some of the runners even did some squats while painting with the rollers.
thats how we roll, we roll like this
Mohamad was a really speedy with the roller and managed to cover the whole ceiling in no time. Lionel appeared to be a great gymnast manouvering on the ladder while painting.
Rolling in the CR0
Martin was amazed with what we had accomplished, within that short space of time we had painted the entire room. He informed us it would have taken him a few weeks to complete the painting. He was really grateful for our help.
Painting finished we roll out
On our way back we took some nice pictures of the sunset in Croydon and quickly ran back to our starting point where the huge cookie was waiting us. Nicola cut generous pieces for all of us and we enjoyed the chocolate and cherry cream cookie ( with a bit of guilt of course!).
The fitness session at the end was replaced by a calorie burning friendly chat celebrating commitment and good deeds!
Next week we will be heading back to St Augustine's church sign up here
