** News**

Chi let us know about the assault course training sessions that will be taking place twice a month leading up to the ** Spartan Race** in May!! Get yourself signed up for the training sessions. And the volunteering and racing info for the Spartan Race.

Thanks to Olivia for the shout out for this Sunday’s GoodGym Long Run training session starting in Kew. All the information is here.

After a flurry of DBS checks to enable runners to access the delights of Missions and Coach runs we got down to the business of Starting GG Westminster 2019 with some energetic and happy running and sorting!

With Danny controlling the back of the group we headed through the busy streets of Central London avoiding as many pockets on pedestrian congestion as possible!! We managed to get a good glimpse of loads of London’s Landmarks as we elegantly glided South towards the River. Managing to keep together for most of the session which was a minor miracle but not as unbelievable as the unprecedented run of Green man (person?) lights we were lucky enough to catch!! Allowing us to speedily get down to the Ebury Estate to meet One Big Family Homeless Charity.

One Big Family Victoria are as small a charity as it gets providing food, clothing and other assistance to Westminster’s homeless community twice a week every week of the year.

After a bumper load of clothing donations piled high in the charities lock ups we had the task of sorting through all the clothing to find the Winter wear then bag it into The type of clothing and splitting by gender and size as well as getting a kids bag ready to go.

15 bags of warm clothes all bagged up and ready to be given out to the homeless community later in the evening.

With the task complete we blitzed the run back laying down some seriously speedy segments of running through Victoria, up to Buckingham Palace then a final big burst up the legendary Green Park drag!

A little trot bag to the New Balance Store finished off a great evening!!

Thanks for a top session and hope to see you all next week for our trip to the River!

Smooth Running
