This week the challenge taken on by the Bournemouth gang was to write out a letter on their Wednesday run. And the brilliant idea came from Hannah, so thank you Hannah for that!

For many, and probably most, it was a completely new experience.

Each person was messaged individually what letter they were to map out....and soon it became apparent that some would need a lot more planning than others!!

John, who has to self isolate for 12 weeks due to health reasons, risked his life to complete his challenge and therefore I included his proud selfie!

So the gang set out dutifully to write out their letter, not sure what it would end up spelling, once combined with everyone else's. With some late additions, the original message was changed and adapted. THe original message to be written out was GOODGYM, but with more people signing up the next message was Thank you NHS.....(which someone had chalked on to the pavement on my attempt to create a S), then more sign ups meant the message changed again and we had to get a little more creative..

The end result was:

GOOD GYM LOVES NHS ♡

Not a bad effort at all and I think this may lead us to even greater efforts. Let us know you favourite letter efforts...there were some really good ones!

Great effort everyone!! Hope you enjoyed it. Next week we are going to try a Zoom fitness session from the comfort of our own homes. Another first experience for most of us I'm sure. I'm happy to also set a running challenge for those who prefer that.

Have a great day everyone!
