A wonderful EIGHT runners joined me in Brent as we headed back to Abbey Community Centre to continue our work to cover their entire funding area with leaflets about their community cafe! In the process we covered over 9kmand delivered a stack of leaflets!

As we warmed up the news this week went as follows:

• We congratulated Brent Run Leader Liz James on taking nearly 15 minutes off her half marathon PB at the Big Half at the weekend. There's no two ways of saying this - that's a better performance than Sir Mo! Amazing work in tough conditions!

• The GG shindig deadline looms large. If you're interested in attending and shaping the future of GG then register your interest before March 21st

• The Brent social is coming up - 20th March we are heading to The Queensbury on a Wednesday to pit our wits against the pub quiz! We'll get a page up for the event asap but do come along!

• Finally, later this month we are going to be celebrating the FIFTIETH GoodGym area opening in Solihull! As part of the celebrations all the areas have been tasked with representing their area number (ie in which order they were set up) pictorially! Check out our efforts, made more special by the fact they are created with EIGHT runners too!

Phew, that was a lot of news!

With that all covered and a quick warm-up done we got on our way. We're helping Abbey a lot at the moment so to mix things up we took a different route down to the centre passing through West Hampstead. We worked hard and kept up a good pace to get the centre and give us more time to get those leaflets out.

We said some quick hellos, were much obliged to get some water and then headed back out to get those leaflets delivered. We were covering an area to the south of Belsize road and we ran in to the issue of estates that we couldn't get into! Some were particularly annoying when we could see the letterboxes but there was no way in!

We still worked hard to cover all the necessary roads and even had time to fit in a mini fitness session and pose for some photos! GO US!

After a last splash to send some flyers we gathered ourselves for a quick blast (with a few too many up hill sections), said goodbye to Felicia who headed home and got ourselves backt base! A hard night but totally worth it and showed how gr-EIGHT we are!

Cheers,
