We were only 1 short of a record turnout at GoodGym Norwich so thank you to everyone for turning out this evening... over 15 hours of volunteering time was given to Norwich Farmshare.

Announcements this week were to Elizabeth for taking part in her 25th GoodGym good deed. Elizabeth and Darren did the Wroxham 5km series on Wednesday evening. Robert B did the Chase the Train on Sunday and Sam finished top female at her Parkrun.

Calum completed his Leadership in Running Fitness course at the weekend so is nearly ready to assist me with sessions. Katy has hers in June.

3 new runners were taking part in their 1st GoodGym encounter so welcome Tammy, Annie and Naomi :-)

It was a lovely warm evening and we took a scenic route through Marriott's Way and Sloughbottom Park. The sight of all the red GoodGym t-shirts in the sunlight was a phenomenal spectacle as we embarked on our 2-mile outward journey.

Some of the GoodGym-ers had the task of sieving through compost and the others were forking (and yes I mean forking!) over an allotment area while some were collecting up the stuff that had been forked (not another innuendo I promise haha).

A thank you from me to Jazmine and Daisy for teaching me what a Boomerang is... when they asked if I could Boomerang them sieving I couldn't work out how a sieve could be used as a Boomerang, innocently not knowing it is some kind of video used on social media! Everyday's a school day.

After 30 minutes of hard work we then headed back to The Forum before several of us went off to the pub to unwind.

Credit for the pun this week actually goes to the task owner!

Next week it's bank holiday and we're visiting our good friends at Marlpit Community Garden.

After last week's epic fitness session I was pleased to see most had returned tonight... meaning it couldn't have been as awful as they were making out ;-)

A big GoodGym welcome to Daisy who was on her 1st outing with us.

It was Sarah's 30th Birthday (apologies for thinking you were 40) so the plan was to head to brick pizza after the run... see where the pun came from! Sarah wore balloons on her head the whole evening.

Bill & Katy saved the day by collecting my GoodGym bag on their way as I'd left it at home... Bill was also at bit late as he decided to run up Gas Hill before tonight's session, the man is inspiring!

Tonight we were off to Silver Road Community Centre. Due to some slight change of plans we were going to be doing weeding... and there was a good lot for us to do. On the way we stopped for some squats, push-ups and step-ups.

Julie met us there with tools at the ready and the weeding started.

We did have to say RIP to a little snail didn't we Helen.

After 30 minutes of hard grafting we collected all the weeds in and put the tools back.

We had a bit of spare time and had to work up an appetite for the pizza so we went back via a longer route and Grapes Hill... but not before we did 3 rounds of 10x wall step-ups and 10x tricep dips.

Yet again it was a fantastic turnout with a bunch of awesome people who worked hard and earned their pizza and my god was it a good pizza! Next time I will try and remember to read all of the options as Alex's pizza made me feel very jealous.

Next week we're off to John Drake House.
