What a difference it makes having sun light throughout the duration of a Group Run. I'm definitely happy to sacrifice an hours sleep for this scenario.

Tonight we visited our friend Keith at The Norwich Food Bank to help him keep on top of all the kind donations they receive.

Emma was taking part in her 1st GoodGym good deed, you picked a great one as your 1st!

Stephen was taking part in his 50th good deed after also doing the Community Mission yesterday, I look forward to seeing the black 50 t-shirt in due course.

Bill and Elizabeth kindly volunteered to be back runners.

We announced that Sam had her baby boy last week. His name is Jasper and from the photos on the Whatsapp group, he looks like a right cutie and we all can't wait to meet him. He'll be a natural runner and is the 1st GoodGym Norwich baby.

The Norwich Food Bank was nice 3km each-way trip, probably my favourite distance for the Group Runs. Keith had a few jobs for us to do and for those who hadn't been before, he explained what they do.

The jobs that were in store included: categorising new food items, date sorting each category, putting them out on the relevant shelves and packing boxes ready to be distributed.

As per usual we had a good production line on the go and got through loads in the alloted 30 minutes.

We then headed back to The Forum (it was still light when we left) but sadly no time for a fitness session this week.

I'm off next week so Katy will be leading y'all as you visit Catton Grove Community Centre.
