Weekly task with East End Women food bank
East End Women is a Community Programme that helps Women in the North East to achieve their potential.
Each week they deliver over 1 TONNE of food to local people in Walker which is amazing! This is equivalent to 2520 meals.
Thursday is their large delivery day and they would absolutely love our help, with a variety of tasks including lifting, bagging up and general organisation. This is currently completed by one person which is a lot of hard work, and they would really appreciate some extra hands.

Showered with donations
It was so lovely today to be able to hand deliver our donations from last week’s Walk, Talk and Donate to East End Food bank where I completed a solo mission.
Kind donations from Charlotte and Carol Anne helped to stock the shelves of toiletries which are now distributed to families once a month.
I had a lovely calm task today of packing bags of toiletries and sanitary products which gave me a chance to have a good catch up with Fiona at the foodbank, as well as show off my new doggy mask and have a singalong to the radio.
We are back in two weeks time.

Run and Return
MEET US AT THE CYCLE HUB on Saturday morning for a catch up with a twist.
I will be leading a 5k easy run (on my bike!) at 9:45am open to all from the Cycle Hub car park but that's not all! Come and run at your own pace. There will be a shorter turn back option for those preferring to do less.
If you'd rather cycle or walk, please do so and meet back at the Cycle Hub for coffee at 10:30am just share in the WhatsApp Group what your plans are and find a buddy to join you!

Winging it
A long time coming but so worth it..
Carol Anne finally got her wings last night after completing her 100th good deed at the weekend, and as you can see she was happy to wear them for our Walk Talk and donate session last night.
As bars reopened their doors, she fit right in in super special fancy dress, providing us with some of my favourite GoodGym photos- please note Charlotte's embarrassed awkwardness at doing the celebratory point!
We had a super catch up, walk and best of all collected a huge bag of toiletries donated and ready for our friends at East End Women.

Up, down and around on the Tyne
It's been way too long since our last face to face fitness session and it was so good to catch up on a chilly night by the Tyne.
Everyone's favourite sister act Tanya and Deb were along for the session together along with Sally, Max (he cycled there so technically its a duathlon) and Rae.
I was so excited to get the ladder, cones and whistle out .. and most importantly the GGNCL FLAG!
The session included:
Warm up
Mobility drills
Ladder drills
Five minute fartlek
Hill technique
Hill sprints
Stretching
I was so impressed with everyone's effort and it was brilliant to be back. I will list another of these sessions soon but don't forget to join us for the next Walk, Talk and Donate on Monday if you can.
