8 runners joined us tonight to run 5km and deliver flyers for Home Instead.

It was a warm one, it wasn't blaring sunshine but we were hot on our heels and built up a sweat.........

We ran from Lifeleisure at the usual 6.30pm, after a warm up we set off to the Cheadle/Adswood border where Home instead had asked us to promote the services they provide. The leaflets have vital information containing 80+ social activities for adults in the Stockport area, these include cooking, gardening, fitness classes or just a coffee club, the leaflets are a great source of information letting people know what services are out there for them to socialise and get involved. I didn't realise there was so much happening in the area, and this is just 1 of 4 areas, so it was great to get out and spread the word.

Welcome Kate, thanks for joining us on your first run you did really well and it was great to meet you. Also well done Martin for your 50th good deed and your black t-shirt, we mentioned it a few weeks ago, but tonight we celebrated with some chocolates so its worth another mention.

This week a few of us are heading over to Sheffield for a Goodgym party, feel free to join us! We are pub plogging, which involves cleaning up the city with a few pub stops between, perfect eh!! see the website for the link.

Lastly a few of us are running the Manchester 10k or the Manchester half on May the 19th in support of The Wellspring Homeless centre in Stockport, there are no half places left but still 10k slots, visit website at www.thewellspring.co.uk for more information.

Thanks everyone for running with me last night, you made me get through it! hahaha,

Happy running, until next week,
