16 Westminster GoodGymers ran 6.5km to Opem age’s St Margaret’s community Centre in Pimlico to give the kitchen, yoga mats, every ledge in slight and the fans a big New Years clean!!

Great to have a great group of first time GoodGymers as well as welcoming back a great pack of experienced GG runners for 2020!!

After a strange start to the session as I try to find a new starting location for the group! Thanks for your help on that! If you come up with any more ideas get me at joel@goodgym.org.

Weaving South through the foot traffic of Oxford Street, Mayfair, Victoria to a little back street cut through down to Pimlico to St Margaret’s community centre.

We were helping out Open Age Charity who combat isolation and inactivity in Westminster by providing very low cost activities for the over 50’s.

Starting off by carrying the last of the Christmas decorations upstairs for hibernation before we unrolled 25 yoga mats and got scrubbing getting the sweat and grim out so they smelled meadow fresh!! The kitchen got the full business!! Every nook and cranny shinned up nice! All the ledges in the building were wiped down and window sills dusted before Aaron climbed the ladder for the final Task of the day, dusting the fans which were in much need of a little TLC!!

With the centre sparkling it was time to make a move! Zipping back up to Oxford Street with a solid acceleration up the Green Park drag which seems to have gotten steeper and longer of Christmas!!

All stretched out as ready for food! In perfect time we headed off with a great start to GG2020!!

See you next week for another trip to Victoria/Pimlico to visit Homeless Britain!

See you there

Joel
