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.

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.

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!

Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!

He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.

Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!

Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.
