Bournemouth was not a nice place to be today...it was wet and rainy all day....we had 3 tasks cancel and were going to have to be brave and do a litter pick in the miserable weather without litterpickers, things were not looking good at all.....until Ed from Bournemouth Foodbank gave us shelter from the rain!

WE LOVE YOU ED AND BOURNEMOUTH FOODBANK!!!

We ran a different route this evening that took us through the park and around some back roads that made it a little bit more peaceful for the magnificent 7...we also managed to avoid the steep gradient from our usual route....but did not avoid the puddles!!

It was only a fine drizzle when we arrived at Bournemouth Foodbank. It was Lee and Jenna's second time with GoodGym and it was lovely to have them along. Lee has signed up as a new member so we'll get to see lots of him on our group runs, which is great as his story is very interesting! Hopefully GoodGym HQ will get your t-shirt out to you quickly!

I love meeting new people with GoodGym, everyone is completely different and adds so much to the group! Give Lee a big cheer here

Jenna is originally friends with Jenni, but we're hoping she is now all of our's friend! We're glad your netball is in off-season and you two can come and run with us!!! The more the merrier!! Give Jenni and Jenna a cheer and love to help them come back more often!

Ed gave let us know what we would be doing and paired us off into teams. We quickly got on with things and moved with such grace and fluidity that we made those heavy boxes seem like they were filled with feather rather than tins!

As we got out into reality again, suddenly much hungrier than before, it had started to rain a little heavier...which encouraged us to run back that little bit quicker!!

We managed to get back for 8pm...everyone still alive...just about! Caprice still had to run home another 4km!!! Epic! Give her a cheer And I still haven't come across anyone who can beat Neil up the hill back to Flirt! Speed demon!

Well done all of you for coming along and making a difference to Bournemouth. Thank you Daryl for the pun! Now get yourself on the goodgym website, support each other and cheer them on....the person with the most cheers given out at the end of the month will get a prize from me. Go go go!!!

See you all next week!
