Counting sleep(ing) areas

Four of us ran 4km to help make 14 beds for the homeless at American International Church

Thanks for coming along guys - great to see you again!

Just before I get started on what did here are some things we talked about:

1. Runbundle is a great website for pace calculators if you are looking to predict your race times, for some of you marathons are soon!
2. For GoodGym hashtag's please use #dogood #getfit #goodgym
3. For more details about C4WS which we helped yesterday - go here.

Okay so yesterday at 4.30pm we met to go #dogood and #getfit in Camden. It was still light and the sun was setting over the next hour, absolutely beautiful.

We headed down the busy Goodge Street to the American International Church, it wasn't even a km but with all the roadworks and pedestrains we certainly used our agility skills.

Once we got there we met Jonathan, the Shelter Coordinator at the Church. He explained that there were 14 people staying at the shelter at the moment, one of whom is 13 weeks pregnant. While the guests stay at the centre they are given support from staff and volunteers who give them counselling, help them find permanent accommodation and much more.

Making beds for the homeless!

Our task for the evening was to make up 14 beds which would be later laid our in the halls. I cannot stress how important this job is, how much time it saves the volunteers and the impact you are having on people's life's. Over 25 minutes we made all the beds, with people having different techniques and Jonathan telling us they just have fitted duvets in the US!

After we were finished with the task we took a group picture and headed to Russell Square for a fitness session, focusing on our arm drive and doing a progression run - great.

We then headed back to the Facebook Office and stretched out. Good work guys, lovely to see you again.

See you next month for more GoodGym.
