Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
12 do gooders took on a 4k run, task on the Milton Road estate and a quick fitness session
Shouts out to Janelle, Rosie and Ursula
First up this week was Hazel who kept me company while the others arrived. We had a few more newbies join us this week. Shouts out to Janelle, Rosie and Ursula. Welcome! Once everyone had arrived we took things outside for our briefing and warm up. With a reminder to start Strava we were off en route to Milton Road Estate to put flyers through peoples doors. We were dishing out flyers for YouthFest, Adult Play Day, and GoodGym. While I took care of the few Kori flyers we had the rest of the team got straight to it.
Dashing Dave and his bionic man running tights
With groups of two heading into each corner of the estate and posting little postcards through peoples postboxes in a super speedy fashion it took no time at all to flyer the whole estate so with that done we headed for the surrounding streets and ended up doing half of Stanmore Road, Waldeck Road and Harringay Road. Taking note of the ‘No Junk mail’ stickers of course. I was pretty impressed with everyone’s effort, which was almost super human. This reminded me of Dashing Dave and his bionic man running tights.
nice to see people push themselves and get results
The clock was fast approaching 8pm so we re grouped and made our way to the war memorial on Phillip Lane for around 8:10pm. Once at the memorial everyone got stuck into a speedy circuit. Shouts out to all here – good effort. Big shouts to Louise for pushing the envelope – awesome competitive streak. Always nice to see people push themselves and get results. After a quick breather we were off again along Phillip Lane and on to the home straight and a sprint finish.
Back at HQ we warmed down, stretched then we were off again but this time we were homeward bound for some well deserved din dins.
I’ll be on leave next week but you’ll have the more than capable Dashing Dave at the helm. Have a good session y’all and I’ll see you in two weeks.
PS anyone know Ursula from last night... can't find her on our dadabase nor can I make out her email addy?!
