We were back supporting Cambridge City Foodbank this evening. It was a lovely late summer evening and perfect for a run.

Meeting Scott and Alice at the pool, we welcomed Sarah (Barnet OG) and George to their first GoodGym Cambridge session 👋 Great to have you along!

After introductions and a warm up (including squats for no-squat Scott and some all important ankle mobility exercises) we were off! All fired up and on our way, I realised after 50m that we hadn't taken our group shot, so we took a very early pause to make sure we captured the moment (and the beautiful light). On our way once more, we navigated through the backstreets and the cemetery, taking the scenic route to the supermarket.

We did a recce to assess what was needed and split off to secure some donations. Being extra prepared, it turns out Alice had impressively been running with a bag full of cans 💪

Not able to join the session, Caroline had beaten us to it earlier in the day, and even had time for a quick (Drosque-esque) picture in front of our poster in store.

With a variety of food and household items donated, we started our run back to the meeting point, taking a slightly different route, this time via the underpass (we like to take in all the best sights). Feeling happy after enjoying movement, good deeds and great company, we cooled down and made plans for our next session before heading our separate ways.
