10 runners joined us tonight to run 5km around the Stockport and Edgely area to pick up litter, pass on leaflets to charity shops and get fitter, and the fish hill was involved!

Starting at 6.30pm from Lifeleisure Grandcentral near the train station, we had a gentle warm up and introduction and a little catch up since last week i was on my jollybobs , the session was taken by the lovely Char from Liverpool, this week it was great to be back! It was also great to meet newbie Gemma, you did great, thanks for joining us, we also had Matthew and Pauline join us from Liverpool, thanks for making the effort to come and see us, we will be making a trip to Liverpool soon to see you again!

Massive well done to Martin for his 50th!!! yep 50th good deed, he turned up tonight wearing his lovely new black shirt, well done Martin, well deserved.

Also while I'm on a roll congratulating wonderful people I would also like to say a huge well done to Jennie for completing her first marathon over the weekend, she ran the Manchester marathon and is already planning her next one......

Tonights run was once again lovely and light, theres a lovely feel of spring in the air. For tonights task we were working on some self promotion and posted our own leaflets with information on what it is we do, how we can help and how people can get involved. We also took out our gloves and litter sticks to pick up some litter, and as mentioned we also ran to get fitter, as well as the 5km round run we also did some hill repeats on fish hill, i could see you clear improvements from last time we did this particular hill, so well done.

Can I just say, not to blow my own trumpet, but I was right, I did take some great photos tonight, and I got my head in the selfie too!!! wooo.

Have a wonderful easter break folks, see you next week for some egg hunting and spring jumping! until then, happy running,
