Three GoodGymer's cheered on runners at the Norfolk marathon.

Becky, with her dog Emmy, marshaled and encouraged runners on one corner just after mile 20, whilst at one point nursing an unwell runner who later left in an ambulance. She was also joined by many family and excited children cheering on runners.

Meanwhile Jonathan and Susanna managed a busy water station just before mile 20, preparing and separating electrolyte drinks and water for each runner as well as tidying any cups or gel sachets left by runners along the route. Similar to Becky, they encountered a young unwell runner and provided him with water and food before he was attended by medics and taken away to the finish line by car. Many runners needed their own bottles refilled but needed assistance from GoodGym to fill them up due to fatigue so late in the race.

Managing water cups for runners became crucial as stock was low but fortunately the run director arrived to provide a few more to help.

Managing and redirecting locals unaware of the race in vehicles too was a challenge faced by the GoodGymer's at both Marshall points, however they were friendly and accommodating.

Tonight 8 GoodGymer's ran 5km to Eaton Park on a lovely sunny evening.

We met Aafje from the Friends of Eaton Park, who supplied us with tools and explained the evenings task - to sweep gravel from the steps and path inside the grand rotunda.

Armed with brooms we split into pairs to cover the whole area, it was surprisingly satisfying seeing the results of a freshly swept floor! There was also time to collect any rubbish nearby.

As the sun went down our evening was sound tracked by a local drumming group practicing their rhythmic grooves in the nearby bandstand!

Shout out to Amie who joined us for the first time!

On a sunny Saturday morning 8 Goodgymers helped the Friends of James Stuart Garden to prepare to welcome new visitors as the greenspace opens its doors as part of Norwich Community Garden Festival. We cleared some weeds to make space for some new planting and removed some brambles that were starting to creep in. We were also treated to a cuppa and a biscuit after our digging efforts.

A delightful afternoon spent clearing the first half of Mr D's garden. It was full of weeds on both sides and took some serious attacking to get clear. A whole industrial bag full.

Mr D. was initially quite quiet but by the end came out and had a good chat with me, I think the garden clearing really helped him feel more relaxed, he was straight on the phone as I left telling people about how he could access his shed now.

over 400 people including 6 tourists, sunny morning, full rota of volunteers, what a morning. well done everyone
