18 dodging GoodGymers ran the busiest 4k ever to Rhythams of Life Homeless Charity and sorted 2 tones of donations.

We welcomed many new faces this evening some GoodGym first timers and others Uber GoodGym travellers!

No easy way to start the run as we had the busiest run in GoodGym history between Oxford Street and Leicester Square. 1.5k of being super alert and dancing around a million people doing their Spring early evening thing!

A few back streets and quieter ally ways while managing to keep a steady rhythm we reached The colossal building that is Rhythams of Life Homeless Charity. We all the staff and charity volunteers out delivering food donations to the homeless of Westminster we had the building to sort out.

We split into groups sorting out huge bags of clothing donations into labelled and ordered piles in the main room up stairs which looks almost unrecognisable from when we started the task last week.

A second group began sorting the catering, electricals and a anything else in the back room while the basement crew got stuck into some serious graft down stairs ordering, sorting the Winter clothing while sorting books, electronics, manakin legs with pained toenails.

With the main room sorting at a great pace we brought anything that was not going to be used down to the basement to make the room as easy to use as possible.

After 50 minutes of serious sorting action we have conquered the double task!! As a reward when we return in May we will sorting out food packages and running them around the borough to help feed the local homeless community.

Bouncing out the door, we altered our route and took in a few sights running through The edge of Leicester Square, the heart of Trafalgar Square, past St James's Palace then powering up the hill to the Ritz hotel. After checking out a few shops on Old Bond Street we had genital run back to base where we stretched out and congratulated ourselves on a top evening of GoodGym action!!

Be great to have you along next week when we visit One Big Family Homeless Charity in Victoria.

A sad goodbye to Annie who is off on her travels and leaving the big smoke. Thank you so much for your energy and enthusiasm at GoodGym!

Smooth Running
