By prior arrangement and agreement we got everyone to a short cut start at the Peepul Centre to allow us to be able to make it to tonights task on time and spend a reasonable time there.

We were met by our good friend and staunch supporter of GoodGym - Coro Febres - who made a real fuss of seeing us again. We will of course be running to the Peepul Centre for next weeks task.

Frank showed up in a snappy suit and availed himself of the changing facilities, Sharon stored her bike in Coros office as due to unforseen circumstances she had no lock and Jim locked up to the racks outside.

At Jims suggestion we took a route along the Leicester Canal - through Belgrave and eventually onto Thurcaston Rd and round to the LOPC.

On arrival at LOPC we were met by Mel,Lee, Katy and Jeannette. We were shown to the training room and Chris told us about our task. We were to fill "Goody bags" ready for the next open day at the LOPC.

It didnt take us long to set out tables with the items on and set up a speedy production line. We were so speedy we had nearly finished the job in hand before Katy had chained her bike up.

The early completion left a bit of time for chat and some shout outs for half marathon efforts at the Leicester event last weekend - particularly Jen and Lindsay who achieved club diamond standard times and Jim and Mel who also braved the horrendous conditions to complete the event .

We were thanked by Chris who informed us that it would have taken one person all day to have filled the bags."Many hands make light work" springs to mind.

We left for the run back and it was decided that we would run the Snake back along Loughborough Road, but after a regroup at Thurcaston Road we took a different route along by The Space Centre and snaked our way along by Abbey Park and back to our starting point.

Cool down, stretch and off home after another successful task.
