Sweatpit in the Marlpit

When the temperature increases by 8 degrees over night, it's very muggy and you have nearly 8km to run means you get rather moist, in fact the pun title explains all! Looking on the bright-side I did feel like I most have lost a few pounds in the course 2 hours.

Tonight marked 2 years of GoodGym Norwich and what an amazing 2 years it has been. Quite often you can start to get bored of things after a while but I feel like I still have as much excitement and joy as did when we 1st started. We have over 280 members, have completed 3,002 good deeds, 172 Coach visits, 22 Missions & helped over 50 different community projects over 102 Group Runs.

There weren't any new runners this evening but Michaela was completing her 10th good deed, Katie her 25th good deed and Vicky her 50th good deed. That's a fantastic achievement all 3 of you.

We visited Marlpit Community Garden. The are having their open day this weekend so we were giving it a good tidy up ready for that. One group were clearing weeds from the brick-weave area, another group spreading mulch around the potatoes and the other group tidying up the area around the tool sheds.

It was great that we could help them prepare for the weekend. I was handing out Borbon biscuits to everyone to keep their energy levels up high... and only got 2-3 myself!

For anyone interested, the Marlpit Community Garden have their open day on Saturday 29th June, 11am-4pm.

Next week's Group Run is in partnership with East of England Co-op and we're visiting Redmayne View Care Home.
