The Cratest Love of All

A hearty bunch of 27 runners came out tonight to help East Bristol Food Bank to complete their annual stock take.

The weather was warm, just like our hearts (I'll stop the valentines puns there before it gets mushier than a tin of peas). One of our largest groups of the year assembled at Vivo ready to run 1.5 miles each way to St Philips, including a few new faces. Welcome Harriet, Sarah and Tom.

We were met by Andy at the storage depot where the East Bristol Food Bank keep there stock. The Food Bank help to provide those in need with the basics we all take for for granted. Supermarkets donate to them and they then distribute the food out as best they can. As part of this operation they are required to provide an annual stock take of there current supplies. Andy explained that our plan for the evening was to weigh every last grain of rice that they had. This was to be no mean feat. There were two large rooms stacked to the ceiling with crates of food and one of those rooms was at the other end of the building.

In the ever smiling and industrious spirit of GoodGym we jumped right in and were soon an organised machine of crate weighing and sorting. One group took control of the distant cupboard, another crating up stock from shelves and the rest were lifting and shifting. It was a thing of beauty. You might say it was all down to our can do attitude.

There was no denying that this task was a tough one, there was a mountain of food so high that Hannibal would have struggled to conquer it on a mammoth let alone an elephant., and even then the mammoth would've eaten all the food so it would have been a bit of a waste of time, but I digress...

With time ticking away it seemed we might not get finished. One group of runners left early with Chris as the rest of us finished up. With only seconds left on the clock everything was in its right place having been weighed and arranged. Andy was happy and we all jumped back in the lift and hit the road. We danced through the streets happier than a pig that has just earnt his pilot license wearing his favourite trilby hat on his way to visit his best girl for an evening of rolling around in poop. We completed various drills as we went including carioca skips, high knees, press ups and squats, before reaching Queen Square and stretching out.

Thanks to Emma for the valentines treats and the pun tonight, hope you don't mind my slight adjustment. Big love to everyone who came along it was an epic task and you have all bean cereal-ously crate! It pasta be one of the jammiest finishes but we got it in the can!
