Today was the big day that many of us have been training for over the last few months.

However much training was put in, it was still going to be challenging with the weather being several degrees warmer than it has all year and the hills that were lurking on the 2nd part of the run.

8 GoodGym Norwich members were tackling their 1st ever 1/2 Marathon and another only taking part in their 2nd.

I was taking part in my 4th and this was without doubt the toughest I've found.

There was myself, Robert, Lizzie, Sarah, Tom, Alex, Laura, Calum, Michelle, Mel & Jazmine taking part.

Everyone exceeded their expectations and it's special to see what achievements GoodGym has brought to these amazing runners.

What was equally as special was the other GoodGym members who came along to cheer and support us. With home-made GoodGym banners and Pom-Poms, they were without date the best supporters over the whole route. So a massive thank you to Elizabeth, Katy, Bill, Hayley and Darren for turning out on a Sunday to spur us on.

I sure enjoyed by long soak in the bath this afternoon but we'll definitely be leaving out Gas Hill on tomorrow night's Group Run!

GoodGym is family.
