At last we got to distribute the flyers for** Homeinstead!!** Its been a few weeks of bad rain here in sunny Stockport so we have had to have a few quick changes which involved knitting mini hats and litter picking.

But tonight was the night, *it happened! * 8 lovely runners met at Grand central Lifelesiure at 6.30pm, we had a shaking start that involved a quick shoe swap, but then we got cracking.

We had a little warm up, set up running devices, had a number count and shout and off we set.

This week we were promoting the wonderful work of Home Instead in Stockport, they have collated lots of activities that happen in the area weekly, classes from tai-chi, to art classes, to simply having a coffee and catch up, the classes are aimed at making the local community a more involved place, where people can meet and enjoy each others company and hopefully make new friendships, just like we do here at Goodgym!

Between us we posted the full box of flyers, this time we headed towards Davenport/Cale green area to promote. We posted in homes, sheltered accomadation, a few shops and take aways to make the most impact.

Id like to have a few shout outs this week, firstly well done to Pete for beating the train! good going dude. well done to the handful of us (including my 2 kids) who attended Burnage Parkrun this week, it was great running with you all, my kids loved meeting you, and well done to Martin who came 2nd, he was running faaaast in the zone.

Also tonight it was fab to meet Lizzie a tourist goodgymer from Ipswitch and newbie Vicky who did just wonderful listening to me jibber on about all sorts, but mainly dogs! thanks for joining us. And Debs, take lots of photos in the Big Apple!! have a fab time

Have a wonderful week of running, next week were doing a spot of gardening,

see you soon,
