Third time lucky! This was our 3rd time over in stockport to deliver leaflets, this time we were working with socially yours again to promote the friendship groups to help with isolation and help make friendships in the community.

As ever we started off at Lifeleisure Grandcentral, meeting at the usual 6.30pm. We had a fabulous 12 runners join in, we started with a warm up and light jog before setting off back to Cheadle. On this visit we met Natalie from socially your at a closer start location, so the run was slightly shorter which gave us longer to post and promote, and that we did.

But as we waited for Natalie it gave a perfect 5 minute slot to get some intervals in, and wow the speed of the goodgymers was faaaaaassssst, well done!

This was definitely 3rd time lucky with the leaflets, as there was no rain to soggy the leaflets, and we got our routine down to perfection, which meant we delivered every single leaflet, which means we are adding a bigger impact, so fingers crossed we get lots of people to join socially yours! Ill keep you posted……….get it!? (made me laugh anyway)

After posting ALL the leaflets, we ran back at a lovely pace, with a little speed as we had our second social. We were celebrating our 10th week of Goodgym in Stockport and all the amazing tasks we have achieved as a team so far. We also had a cheers to the awesome David for completing 52 good deeds, how amazing, I gave him a little gift to celebrate, and we all wait in anticipation for photographs…….

Id also like to say a massive well done to Anne Goldsbrough for completing 10 group runs, you can now become a part of the task force! And thanks for always being a positive part of the team and being my technical adviser…..

Welcome to Amy and Lorna for joining us! And I still cant believe it was your 1st ever outdoor run, what a epic achievement.

Last thing to mention, at our social we discussed the next social, our, dare I mention the word CHRISTMAS??? So keep your eyes peeled for date and location.

Until next week crew, happy running!
