Good Morning Goodgymmers! Today we returned to the wonderful Food 2 U organisation to do more shops. I've done this mission so many times now, I'm having to google puns to put into the run report. Ahh First Goodgym World problems.

Today we were 5, consisting of one newbie Linda, and Meghan, Cieling, Richard and myself. We usually gather around the front of Tesco, because not everyone is clear on where to meet. RIchard let us know about a weird dream he had about Boris Johnson, which I managed to segway, as to who is the best looking leader of the country. Justin Trudeau, Post Presidential Obama and Angela Merkel all made the cut.

It also gives me a chance to size up the competition. I make it a habit to try and beat everyone in the number of carts I fill up, and I've been consistently winning against most of the other team members. Megan let it be known that she had filled 4 carts on one occasion, whilst silently flexing her arms*. Game on Megan!

As it was a sweltering day, we got our temperatures checked again by the lovely Terry, who let us know she had been "extra vigilant" on the checking the foods we had collected in the freezer, had the added benefit of cooling her down. We were also pleased to know that our bodies were above freezing temperature, as the temperature guns had previously been registering us at slightly hypothermic level.

Off we went, and managed to complete the required shops fairly quickly considering we all felt a bit sloth like that morning. We then went back out into the sweltering heat, even though we were all ready to take a nap in the freezer section.

Thanks for another wonderful mission Food2u! Once again that was lots of fun!
