Third time lucky! This was our 3rd time over in stockport to deliver leaflets, this time we were working with socially yours again to promote the friendship groups to help with isolation and help make friendships in the community.

As ever we started off at Lifeleisure Grandcentral, meeting at the usual 6.30pm. We had a fabulous 12 runners join in, we started with a warm up and light jog before setting off back to Cheadle. On this visit we met Natalie from socially your at a closer start location, so the run was slightly shorter which gave us longer to post and promote, and that we did.

But as we waited for Natalie it gave a perfect 5 minute slot to get some intervals in, and wow the speed of the goodgymers was faaaaaassssst, well done!

This was definitely 3rd time lucky with the leaflets, as there was no rain to soggy the leaflets, and we got our routine down to perfection, which meant we delivered every single leaflet, which means we are adding a bigger impact, so fingers crossed we get lots of people to join socially yours! Ill keep you posted……….get it!? (made me laugh anyway)

After posting ALL the leaflets, we ran back at a lovely pace, with a little speed as we had our second social. We were celebrating our 10th week of Goodgym in Stockport and all the amazing tasks we have achieved as a team so far. We also had a cheers to the awesome David for completing 52 good deeds, how amazing, I gave him a little gift to celebrate, and we all wait in anticipation for photographs…….

Id also like to say a massive well done to Anne Goldsbrough for completing 10 group runs, you can now become a part of the task force! And thanks for always being a positive part of the team and being my technical adviser…..

Welcome to Amy and Lorna for joining us! And I still cant believe it was your 1st ever outdoor run, what a epic achievement.

Last thing to mention, at our social we discussed the next social, our, dare I mention the word CHRISTMAS??? So keep your eyes peeled for date and location.

Until next week crew, happy running!

A excellent 11 runners rocked up tonight to run socially over to Cheadle to help out local community group “socially yours” which is a friendship group that has various activities, games and events in both Edgeley and Cheadle.

Once again we met up at our start location of Lifeleisure Grandcentral at 6.30pm. After a quick chat and warm up we set off on a perfect evening run.

Our location was 4.4km away and so we ran slow and steady in the autumn leaves under the moon, a lovely evening for a run and task. Tonights task was our first leaflet drop, we were met in Cheadle village by the lovely Natalie who handed over 5000 leaflets to us (see in photos) between us we seemed to think we would post them all! Thats how confident and hardworking the Stockport crew is, this didn't happen, 5000 leaflets are more than they look1 However we did post a lot of leaflets, we set off in various areas of our coloured coded map, which I personally think looks like an odd snail on its side?? (again, see photographs!)

It was another long run for us, but a great task, so great that next week we are helping out again, just the other side of Cheadle, I'm away and so the wonderful Sam Needham from Goodgym Sheffield will be coming to look after you all, and of course we have the legendary back marker and social master** David Highman **to help out……

Massive shout out to all the runners that completed the Manchester Half marathon on Sunday, your brilliant! Also well done to Paula who completed the Saharan Challenge this week! Wooooo.

Also welcome tonight to Laurence and Matthew, you picked a tough night to join us, hope the pizza tasted good :)

Last thing from me, we/David is organising our next social which will be celebrating our 10th week in Stockport, also David will be celebrating his 52nd task!!! (Go David!) So keep a eye out, we will be chatting all fun stuff and getting some social run ideas in the bag too, starting with a Santa dash, getting a half marathon and a trail run in……

See you in a few weeks guys, until then, keep running!
