Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Tim Dickson
Wowza, another nice turnout this evening for our Greenwich and Bexley Hospice run It was perfect running and task weather this evening. As we all started arriving and signing in it was great to have a first timer in our Bexley Goodgym gang in the name of Jodie. Welcome Jodie. As usual we start off with our introductions and warm up. It's then time to engage the Garmins and head out. ** Susan** Took out the front runners in her brand new black 50 tee shirt (looking good Susan) and i coached and advised with the back runners who wanted to learn techniques or ask questions I gotta say, It always makes the hairs on my neck stand on end to see a good number of red tee shirts running out together along the side street. Especially when they are weaving through the commuters as they head home. It always draws attention and questions.
IT ALWAYS MAKES THE HAIRS ON MY NECK STAND ON END TO SEE A GOOD NUMBER OF RED TEE SHIRTS RUNNING TOGETHER
It was great to see Chris waiting for us as we arrived. After some kindly supplied bottled water we split up into 3 teams. Team 1:- Painting. Team 2:- Kitchen steam clean. Team 3:- Baby clothes tagging and pricing. After 43 minutes the good deed was completed. We posed for our mandatory work photos before heading out on to the Broadway, where we were treated with another photo opportunity of an awesome sunset.
It was then back to base camp all feeling very accomplished with what we had achieved. On arriving back to Crooklog i had prepared a fitness session for everyone. Well it would of been rude not to. Especially as Sarah had quickly nipped to her car and grabbed some awesome banana and peanut butter homemade cakes to celebrate her 50th Goodgym good deed. Well done Sarah, nothing short of brilliant. Yay!, thats 3 black tee runners we've got at Bexley now.
Before i signing off for another week i want to give my last hi five of the evening to Neal. He announced that he's going to be a proud Dad to a baby girl. Thats just brilliant Neal. Massive congratulations. Until next week Goodgymers.........
