Digging our heels deep to get up Grapes Hill

20 runners ran 4km to help garden, weed and litter pick at Grapes Hill Community Garden

Tonight was our Norwich launch run!

I have to say I was a tad nervous throughout the day but more excited as I knew I would have an amazing bunch of runners to lead.

Our local ex-olympic runner Paul Evans said a few words at the start before I welcomed everyone to the run. At the age of 56, Paul is going to take part in the Run Norwich 10km in August and hopes to finish in the top 10!

We were also graced with our gorgeous, local blogging sensation Carly Rowena who will be doing her own update so check her out on social media.

It was then picture time by the BBC and The Forum... I really need to practice on my action shots!

After a warm-up we head off on our 1st group run and took a 2.5km route to this evening's task. Paul was tail runner and Rachel helped me lead the group incase I needed to drop back for anyone.

We were greeted by Fran and Richard who had cake lined as an incentive for us to work hard.

The BBC were there taking photos and interviewing some of us, including GoodGym's very own Ruth who at one point I thought was taking part in a glamour shoot haha and not doing her weeding.

Carly and Rebecca had the tough job of shovelling a whole compost heap into a bag.

After 30 minutes of hard graft we had a quick refreshment and then went straight into a running effort up the steep and prolonged Grapes Hill... everyone made it up alive.

We stopped off in Chapelfield Gardens for a 600 metre effort timed effort, which we'll look to repeat on a regular basis.

It was then back to The Forum for a stretch and for me to dish out the remaining cakes.

Rhianna had her docs verified for a DBS check so she can attend our Coach and Mission runs too!

A massive thank you to all that made of 1st GoodGym run in Norwich a fantastic occasion and I hope to see you all back again soon!
