Tonight we set out to finish what we started last week....and I'm delighted to say that it was Mission Complete!

We didn't scare off Sophie from last week as she came back for round two....not even broken arms and soggy weather were enough to put her off!! Love it!

Spencer came along to his first GoodGym experience and came through with flying colours! Welcome Spence, hope to see you next week!

Roshana and Claire were also back after a few weeks off and it was great to have so many lovely faces back together again!

We headed back to where we stopped last week and continued on adjacent roads. We passed out the flyers and the gang split up into 2 teams of 6....Team A: Phil, Marianne, Abi, Sean, Roshana and Claire. Team Amazing: Caprice, Daryl, Fredrika, Spencer, Sophie and myself.

Team A were extra speedy this evening and beat Team Amazing back to the rendevouz spots on more than one occasion.

After stepping in a lot of puddles, smelling a lot of illegal substances, trying to figure out how to get to a property's front door, and if it then even had a letter box or not....we ran out of flyers. So a much more successful night than last week for sure. And no injuries either! Well....a couple of scratches on hands from some sharp letter boxes.

It felt like for the last month or so all our group runs had been shorter ones so this week we decided to go a little longer to make up for it. With the help of Fredrika, liberated from back marking duties, she led us along her old neighbourhoods and back to where we started, on a more scenic route. A total of 8.5km of running at a mellow pace and only one evil hill to deal with right at the end!

We team talked about next week's dinner, had a stretch and said our goodbyes. All heading off in different directions!

Thank you Caprice for back marking this evening! Daryl is now on 196 good deeds, Caprice on 181!! The race is on for the magical 200!!!

Well done everyone!! Next week it's games at the Care Home and food at the Stable after. Send me an e-mail if you'd like to join us for that!
