Have I Got News For You

Monday 21st January 2019

Written by Steven Hitcham

We had the pleasure of ITV News filming us tonight ahead of a live piece being aired tomorrow evening at 6pm.

A big welcome to Sophie and Amanda who were taking part in their 1st GoodGym experience.

Thank you to Katy for being back runner and Emily for being walk leader.

The warm up felt a little different this week (as in I felt the pressure haha) as the cameraman was on us. It was very cold so we definitely needed the warm up to warm and mobilise our muscles and joints.

We then headed off to Adat Yeshua to paint a 2nd coat on the new foodbank walls, weed the outside area and do a litter pick nearby. I split the team into 3 roughly same sized groups and they went on to do their tasks.

The litter pickers made no hesitation and were off cleaning the local area. The weeders... well blink for a minute and the place was transformed and ready for bulbs to be set in the spring. The painters soon had their rollers out and a bit of improvisation (a broom handle) meant Helen could paint the ceilings although I think she had quite a bit of it over her face and in her hair.

On the way back we stopped off in Chapelfield Gardens for a sprint session - Brad thought he was coming home in 1st place before Kevin pipped him on the line, a great effort by everyone at the end of the night.

Next week, we're visiting Norwich Food Bank.

It was Emulsional seeing our record turnout, with 50 & 100 good deeds done we are on a roll(er)

Monday 7th January 2019

We hit a new GoodGym Norwich turnout of 40 this evening!

1st Group Run of 2019 and what a start.

Lizzy J was completing her 10th good deed, Michelle was completing her 50th good deed and Catherine completed her 100th good deed last week when she visited her Coach - unbelievable achievement ladies.

6 new amazing runners joined us tonight in John, Angela, Sophie, Amy, Sarah and Oli.

Catherine was back runner and Sandra walk-leader.

A painting job was on the cards at Adat Yeshua, which is creating a new kitchen and food bank with one of their spare rooms.

Myself and the task owner weren't expecting so many people so on arrival I decided to split the group in 2. Half would paint while the other half had a fitness session and then they swapped over after 20 minutes. This could be a new tactic with so many people wanting to do good in Norwich.

For the fitness session we went over to Jenny Lind Park and it was split into Interval Pacing, Tag, Shuttle Relay and a Short Effort. It was good job we did this as the guys painting were smashing through and there was no way we'd fit 40 people in that room.

Sandra worked out what GoodGym is in Hebrew - check out the photo.

After both groups had a go at painting and completed a fitness session, we got together for a group photo and then headed to Chapelfield Gardens on the way back for a quick sprint session to top off a good all round running evening.

It was finished off with a good stretch at base and one of Darren's brownies to celebrate his successful London Marathon entry through the GoodGym ballot.

Remember we have a Group Run this Saturday as well as Monday - see details of all runs here.
