What a difference it makes having sun light throughout the duration of a Group Run. I'm definitely happy to sacrifice an hours sleep for this scenario.
Tonight we visited our friend Keith at The Norwich Food Bank to help him keep on top of all the kind donations they receive.
Emma was taking part in her 1st GoodGym good deed, you picked a great one as your 1st!
Stephen was taking part in his 50th good deed after also doing the Community Mission yesterday, I look forward to seeing the black 50 t-shirt in due course.
Bill and Elizabeth kindly volunteered to be back runners.
We announced that Sam had her baby boy last week. His name is Jasper and from the photos on the Whatsapp group, he looks like a right cutie and we all can't wait to meet him. He'll be a natural runner and is the 1st GoodGym Norwich baby.
The Norwich Food Bank was nice 3km each-way trip, probably my favourite distance for the Group Runs. Keith had a few jobs for us to do and for those who hadn't been before, he explained what they do.
The jobs that were in store included: categorising new food items, date sorting each category, putting them out on the relevant shelves and packing boxes ready to be distributed.
As per usual we had a good production line on the go and got through loads in the alloted 30 minutes.
We then headed back to The Forum (it was still light when we left) but sadly no time for a fitness session this week.
I'm off next week so Katy will be leading y'all as you visit Catton Grove Community Centre.

We had our 2nd biggest turnout this evening with 37 GoodGymers hitting the streets of Norwich.
Amy C was completing her 25th good deed!
A thank you to Robert for being walk-leader, Catherine for being back runner and Helen E for being the photographer.
We were visiting the Oxfam Charity Shop tonight for a variety of tasks. Emma met us there and explained what they were, which included: cleaning the shop floor, putting new stock out on the shop floor, giving the kitchen a deep clean and taking books down on the conveyor belt into the pulping room. You'd think it would take some organising with a big group of people, but you'd be run as within a couple of minutes they were all split up and cracking on with all of these tasks.
It was quite an entertaining evening... check out the photos! Dave T styling a feminine hat, me with my whopping mushroom and three of the girls fitting into one pair of knickers... a sight I'm still not sure what to make of haha.
After a good 40 minutes of hard work, which equated to an incredible 24 hours of volunteer time we finished up and headed back... but not straight back. Oh no, I'm not that kind! So it was a detour via Grapes Hill, which everyone put a sterling effort into. After that we did a quick sprint session in Chapelfield Gardens before returning to The Forum. The evening was finished up with some cakes Elizabeth brought along ahead of her 21st birthday on Thursday.
Next week we're doing a litter pick in aid of WWF Earth Hour.

Maisie is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.
