Despite it raining pretty much all day in Norwich, we had a record turn out of the year with 24 runners wanting to do good in their community.

We had 3 new runners in Hayley, Helen and Darren.

Runners to join the '10' club tonight were Lucy, Mel and Jasmine.

There was also Robert who joined the '20' club tonight after he smashed the Snetterton 10km the day before.

It's great to see so many returning to do good in their community.

We were returning to The Hamlet Charity to do some painting and (attempted) glossing. On the way there I threw in some walking lunges and push-ups before the wonderful site of 24 GoodGym-ers caning it up Gas Hill.

Most of us stayed inside to get a whole room painted while 5 glossers went outside to do the outside windows. The before and after photos show what a good job everyone done inside... sadly I didn't get a before and after shot of the glosser's work, although rumour had it the masking tape wasn't used to it's best effect!

I think a few people got more paint on them than they did on the walls haha, I thought I was all clear until someone noticed I had a white sleeve on my base-layer.

40 minutes later and 10 minutes of everyone attempting to wash the paint off their hands, we made are way back to The Forum... with some star jumps and tuck jumps along the way ;-) while Bill, Tim and Calum tackled Gas Hill once again because they are CRAZY!

To finish we had a 120-meter sprint race up Gentleman's Walk.

Afterwards it was time for a drink and some food at The Bell while listening to Calum rabble on about stuff!!

Next week we're going to the new EACH Charity Shop on Plumstead Road.
