Tonights run was a perfect beginners session, the task was only 3km in total, so it was great for anyone thinking of joining us, we will be doing a similar run in a few weeks time, that will be walkable, so keep a eye and ear out for the date, because it will be a prefect opportunity to bring along that one person who has been saying they will come along for a while, but doesn't feel they are fit/fast enough to join us, we are inclusive and everyone is welcome, sessions can always be adapted for people who want to work harder or can be made easier if needed.

So the task tonight was to post flyers around the Portwood area of Stockport for the Wellspring, The Wellspring is a homeless charity in the heart of Stockports market place, that does many wonderful things for Stockports homeless community. The flyers we posted tonight were to advertise fundraising places for the Manchester 10k and Manchester half marathon on May the 24th, this year lots of Goodgym folk will be getting involved, so a extra reason for us to join in with the run fun!

We managed to post around 200 flyers, which is impressive for only 4 of us.....

A massive hello to David for joining us this evening, lovely to meet you, and welcome back to Serin, you both worked really well, as did you Pete!

So when we do our tasks and missions there is always opportunity to find out interesting local information, check out tonights find! A STAR WARS themed door entrance!!! How cool....i did knock on and ask permission to take the photograph, and hearing all about it was really cool.

Thanks guys to all that helped spread the word about fundraising spaces for the Wellspring, if you would like a place, or know anyone who does just get in touch with the team at The Wellspring: www.thewellspring.co.uk/events/run-for-wellspring

Have a great week running!
