Mission

Two's company

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Hackney.

This morning I headed to the food bank in Hoxton to get a parcel for Mr C. Almost as soon as got there, much to my surprise another Goodgymer Jatin arrived. He was also doing a mission to pick up a parcel.

We had a good chat in the queue about Goodgym and our running experiences over the last few months. I was very impressed that Jatin had completed the virtual London marathon earlier in the year and was jealous to hear that he has a place in next years marathon.

The volunteers at the food bank were really friendly and helpful and I accepted their challenge to jog to Mr C's house with the (really quite heavy) food parcel. The jog very quickly became a fast walk but the chilly wind meant that I wasn't hanging around so it didn't take me very long to drop off the parcel with a very grateful Mr C.
