13 rain fearing GoodGymers ran 5k to St Andrews Youth Club to sort out the huge garage with a New Year Clear our.

With the crazy downpour of the day there was a sigh of relief when just in the nick of time the clouds cleared and the rain stopped!

So with a hop, Skip and a jump over puddles we made our way down through a royal park and past a palace or two to meet Adrian and everyone at the amazing and vibrant St Andrews Youth Club.

Great to have a couple of GoodGym first timers along for the run to a firm Westminster favourite!

Entering the garage there was a heap of kit that had seen better days and with the new shelving coming in a week or so now was the time to clear ship! Now that is easier said than done as Adrian loves to hold onto everything he can but with a little encouragement a nice size pile of unused and mostly broken stuff ready for the refuse collectors in the morning!

A little rejig of the current cupboards allowed us to store away a lot of the bulky sports kit and the garage was transformed in 35 effective minutes of GoodGyming!!

To celebrate our work we took a trip down to the newly painted and decorated SW1 Gym and hit up 8 minutes of serious full body conditioning!! Really having to dig deep to hang on for the final static squat off!!

Off we ran into the Central London night with a Spring in our step (well mentally at least after the leg workout) getting back to base in good time for a stretch and round of applause!!

Thanks for coming out and hope you had a good time! Hope to see you again next week for some more Fun on the Run when we visit ** One Big Family** Homeless Charity.

Have a great week!

Smooth Running
