6 lovely humans gathered together on the grounds of St Clement's Church for the first group run of 2020. This is also the place where we go to help with the Secret Garden when the days weren't too short.

We caught up on all the gossip and Christmas chat and headed towards the starting spot for our flyer drop. Today we were spreading the word for the YMCA, and making people aware of all the facilities and courses they run. These are great at the money they make from them, goes right back into supporting the community.

Along with their flyer we also spread the word about GoodGym, hoping that more people get involved with it and along with that, get more active this January to help ease away the January blues.

With three of us on one side of the road and three on the other we flitted in and out of driveways, synchronising and avoiding sharp letter boxes and stubborn latches on gates. With one road complete we snaked back on the parallel road and continued this way until we had run out of leaflets.

With empty hands but with a newfound knowledge of back roads and awareness of all the places we have yet to explore in our own back yard, we said our good byes and got back to our usual Sunday afternoons!

Well done everyone!! This week's run is to the care home to host their monthly quiz! Start studying for it!
