9 GoodGymers ran 6-7km, delivered 150 leaflets for Syrian Refugee & smashed a fitness session!
Lovely to be leading GG Barnet again, you guys are great! The weather was getting wetter all day, thank you for coming along and doing good - means a lot.
Of course a massive well done to Pennie who conquered New York Marathon last Sunday, absolutely amazing work! Give her a cheer when you see her next Tuesday. In other news:
- It's the last GG Monthly Drinks of the year tomorrow (Thursday 9th) in Stratford - come along!
- There is gonna be a GG 2018 Calendar, check it out here on the facebook group.
- GG Raceteam are taking part in Cross-Country this weekend, three more fixtures in the season if you want to join #RedThunder
Right onto to last night, after our intro and chat about upcoming Barnet missions, like this one, we headed off into the night - taking to the back streets to Muswell Hill and into the residential area close to Ally Pally. Splitting into pairs we covered roads in the area to spread the word about a new Syrian Refuge Charity in Finchley.
The event we were promoting was a Syrian Kitchen fundraiser on 30th November, a lovely local event to help a brilliant cause. With all the leaflets distributed we took a group pic before heading back into the night.
Ally Pally fun!
Running over to Ally Pally the rain was getting a little harder but of course that doesn't put off these hardcore Barnetites. Fitness session included:
- Two sets of shuttle runs using lamposts as a marker
- Squats & balancing exercises
- Distance shuttles, for 10 seconds & then 5 seconds
Always brilliant to do speed sessions in groups! After our 2km run home we stretched out and said our goodbyes. Well done all, lovely wet evenings running & good-doing.
Sign up for Barnet next week here, Pennie is back!
PB out.
