12 runners ran 6km to drop leaflets for the J's Hospice

As we met this evening, it was clear that autumn has arrived, and it's time to dust off headtorches for GoodGym!

We spoke about our second place at the quiz last week, Joel's disappointment with Rachel on the jackpot round, and of course Jenny's first half marathon! Well done Jenny.

After posing for a wonderful photo outside on the fitness equipment, we set off for our 200m run to the bottom of First Avenue to get on with our leafleting for the evening. The original plan was to run up each Avenue to leaflet, then back down, all the way to Seventh Avenue. The whole group sped up and back down First and Second Avenues, running so quickly that David struggled to find us. We ran out of leaflets on Third Avenue, however we still spread the word! Rather than force everyone through the ups and downs for the remaining four, we just ran up and down alternate Avenues, and had an early evening back.

Thats the last leaflet drop for a while, to Charlotte's disappointment, and Russell's too (we know it grew on you!).

By leafleting the past four weeks, we have spread the word about the important work The J's Hospice does, and hopefully managed to encourage a few people to sign up for the run on the 20th October.
