Another great evening packing up clothes at Traid and a short but intense little fitness session Once again there was a lot to do but we jumped at it with gusto!
Drop it like it's hot There was a lot of acitivity so we spent a full hour taking off the clothes off the racks, sorting out shoes and packing away clothes such as skirts, tops and trousers. Talking of trousers...We are now very experienced with 'dropping our trousers' but considering this was only the second good deed for Sophia, she really excelled at it;):
Quick burst of energy After we finished with the task Rosie, Sophia and Natasha made their way home by running and walking - great active travel! In the meantime Rachel, Rosalind, Rebecca, Ramon (the Four RRRR:)) and Julia easily jogged to the Town Square for some pre-dinner fitness activities: - We did two sets of interval sprints - 5 minutes each. Doesn't sound like a lot but folks were feeling the burn! - We did some arm strength exercises in between the sprinting - those triceps are going to say hello tomorrow;) - We finished with a nice stretch down!
//COMING UP AND ADMINNY BITS// Whatsapp group: We have a local whatsapp group for last minute information, some gifs and banter:) If you're not in the group and would like to join please let me know!
Next group run: Don't forget to sign up for next week's session HERE.
Next social: We thought it would be nice to grab some food together and catch-up over a cocktail or a mocktail! Come along by signing up here.

Sophia earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Sophia completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Sophia was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

What a great start to our weekends. 6 Goodgymers joined me at the Rukhsana Khan Foundation Foodbank this Saturday morning.
We had a visitor from Islington, Jenny who joined the packing team in the community centre, bagging up 80 carriers of cans. Helen made it after a late work shift, finishing in the early hours, and got to work transporting around 200 packed bags from the packing area to the car park for the delivery drivers to collect. Tony and Rebecca headed off in to the local area and dropped flyers in 7 streets around E17. And finally a big welcome to Sophia who carried out her first GoodGym activity today, she joined Ruby at Lloyd Park Market to spread the word to hundreds of passers by about the RKF Foodbank stall where instead of buying food visitors could donate to the Foodbank's Festive Food Fund ensuring they can deliver food hampers to those households in need in the week before the Xmas break. Oh and I sorted out so many cans of donated beans & soup in to crates that I'll be dreaming off them all week!
The Foodbank enjoyed getting to know our Goodgymers and vice verser I think everyone was eager to learn about how the RKF supports the community.
This task will run for the next two saturdays and we also will be setting up another task for the 24th Dec (more details to follow on that) so please sign up if you are keen!
