We had the most amazing weather for one of our favourite GoodGym tasks, running to the Foodbank to help with donations and making up parcels. This week we had a few different jobs too....but first...
We welcomed Chloe with open arms. She is over from Paris for 3 months looking to improve her English...which is very good....and her running is just as impressive! Welcome, and we hope to see you next week!
It was also extra nice to have Lydia back with us, I'm sure it's nice for you to just be able to run and not have to lead group runs! We hope you can squeeze us in again soon!
Fredrika was also brave enough to join us after missing out last week with shin splints....she managed just fine...and with a massive backpack too! Fingers crossed you can stay healthy and join us again next week!
This evening Chloe, David and Claire raised their hands to make up Easter parcels for familiies next week. They managed to make up 34 boxes of easter eggs and other treats for families with children. Nice for them to get some extra treats next week!
Lydia, Caprice, Daryl and Jenni were tasked with sorting through boxes of food donations like we usually do, but they managed to finish those and move onto sorting through easter egg donations too! Talk about eggcellent!
Sarah took Fredrika under her wing for the first food parcel and soon they were racing Neil and I to finish of 5 boxes for single people to families of up to 4 people. We managed to get a lot done in only 30 minutes! The way back saw the gang pick up the pace a little to get back in time for closing at Flirt Cafe...Brilliant work everyone! Hope nobody is too sore in the morning!
Next week we are getting together for a beer and some food after the group run....or you can come along for a soft drink....or just a beer...or just some food...you get it right??
See you next week!
