This evening we were tasked with running around the center of Bournemouth to do a flyer drop for YMCA Bournemouth. They provide a variety of services to the community and it's great that we have finally linked up with them and will be doing lots more in the future. You can run for them in the upcoming Bournemouth Marathon Festival, or take part in one of many events they are organising to raise awareness of the homelessness situation in Bournemouth. The Big Sleep Easy is one such event. Have a read here
It was great to have Sean back after what felt like an eternity.....or about a month....we missed you Sean, and I know you missed us too...despite what you say!
Well done for Daryl, Megan and Heather for making it back also. Busy people who we are very lucky to have join us when they can fit us in!
This Saturday if you are in the area, Andrew needs our support at the Poole Parkrun. He will be running his 100th Parkrun and will be going for a PB. Any of you around please head over for a 9am start to support him and to pace him to a below 25min record! Maybe his black GoodGym T-shirt will arrive in time. 50 Good Deeds and 100 Parkruns.....what a
LEGEND!
The objective this evening was to flyer drop all around central Bournemouth so we set off along a couple of roads, losing people here and there....mainly Andrew who kept finding letter boxes where no one else did! The route took us through some new roads and paths, exploring new places none of us had ever been to...or will go to again for that matter! Soon the conversation turned to how you may word some of the real estate ads for some of the places we came upon. Creative writing at its best! We came across quite a few hills....which had some of the nicer houses on them...most of which had gates blocking us off! So rude! But, we powered up the hills and back down into town again and by the time we got back we only had a handful of flyers left. We started with
500
With 9 of us that's pretty good going guys!!! Brilliant effort!
We may have to start wearing torches and reflective clothing from now on as it did get dark on the way back!
