This week is** Goodgym's 10th birthday** so we thought we would celebrate in style!

Tonights task was completed by 9 runners with the task being to deliver to residential properties a leaflet promoting Chelmsford Marathon and a 3k run being held on 20th October.

"The J’s Hospice improves the lives of young adults (aged 16-40) with life-limiting conditions and their families across Essex. We provide tailored nursing and emotional care, advice and activities in the comfort of their own homes or in the community."

We discussed the Goodgym 10th birthday book and volunteering at Chelmsford parkrun for #supersaturday this week.

Chelmsford's traffic was grid locked tonight so a message on Whatsapp to let everyone know meant Julie wasn't going to get to us in time and would meet us on the way, as it it happened Julie was waiting by the Police station for us. As always a long wait for the lights to change here.

As we had a Goodgym Flag we stopped at every opportunity for a photo at local landmarks and the sign in the centre of the high street.

As we were lining up for the photo Catherine's antenna was raised spotting a Policeman chasing a suspect down the high street, before we could react Catherine and Andy set off in pursuit to apprehend the individual with the help of the officer!

I have to say that's the fastest I have seen them both run! Must be a lesson in there for our next sprint efforts!

Luckily Catherine is a Police Officer and Andy has a connection as well, so our Goodgym public spirit was in good hands.

After that excitement we headed off to the task delivering the leaflets and a few more flag photos, we soon exhausted our stock of leaflets running the streets of Moulsham.

We did an every second lamp post sprint session on the way back to the Uni for a warm down stretch.

Happy running Gerry
