A little food for thought
44 GoodGymers made their way 7.5km to help the The Norwich Food Bank in Norwich.

The new year continues with a boom with another fantastic turnout.
A big welcome to several new runners this week in Lillian, Lisa, Sirilak, Chen and Fatima.
Janice was backrunner and Hayley photographer, which was a great help as I could split the group during the task and run with half of them.
The milestones this week were Janice & Raffy completing their 10th good deeds.
We had another very productive task this week. It was a 3km each-way run to the Norwich Foodbank, a great organisation who always welcome our help to keep them on top of things. With the influx of donations we needed the influx of GoodGymers!
It was quite chaotic at times I'm not going to lie haha. As we couldn't fit 40+ in the warehouse we paired up again so one person would be helping out while the other would do a little running/walking loop... it pretty much worked ;-)
As always, time flew by, especially with the added running/walking included but we made a massive impact none the less and got plenty done.
There was the added challenge of Grapes Hill we had to conquer towards the end of the run back.
There's an additional Group Run this Saturday as we visit EACH Charity Shop and Monday's Group Run we are visiting Ellacombe Care Home. There will be a walk option at both of them.
