Three regular GoodGym posties — Ben, Mandy, and Hazel — took on round two of the Stockport post distribution mission, aiming to finish the 400 newspapers promised to Post Community News.

Ben, in true Ben fashion, ran from home to the task — a casual 8km warm‑up, because why not start your evening with a mini‑marathon? 🙌 With public transport being a bit of a circus this week, he may actually be onto something. Mandy also parked a good distance away so she could clock a few bonus miles. Clearly, nobody here believes in simply arriving at a task… you must earn it. Broken transport? We still carry on like first‑class mail. 👊

The final 100 papers were folded and delivered door‑to‑door within an hour. Miraculously, the weather decided to stop behaving like a moody ice bucket, giving us the nicest conditions we’ve had for GG winter sessions so far. Along the route, we spotted neighbours going all‑out in a friendly decorating competition. If you can’t match the poshness of the folks next door, you can at least compete in sheer creativity — or comedic value. Honestly, a perfect strategy for making new friends… or confusing them. 😄

After finishing the round, the team went for a short bonus run before parting ways — and before Ben set off on his actual long run home. Stockport posts (Feb issue) - successfully signed, sealed, delivered! 📬
