It all went a bit wrong this morning. My plan was to run to Mrs C after dropping off a parcel at my local shop but they were full so I had to run with a parcel in my hands, looking for another place to drop off.

When I did drop it off, I was so worried about being late to Mrs C that I was thinking about that rather than the route I was running, and I ended up running along the wrong side of the river, which meant I was actually running in the wrong direction for about 5 minutes to correct myself. Then, I had to run up Grapes Hill... And anyone from GoodGym Norwich knows how bad that is!

Luckily, I still got to Mrs C on time and I collected her rubbish for her and popped it in the dustbin. While it seems like such a small task, this really helped Mrs C as she didn't have to worry about going outside herself and didn't have rubbish in the way in her home.

I'm super grateful to Mrs C, as without her I probably wouldn't have gone for a run, or at least would have cut it short when I realised I couldn't drop off my parcel. This is what GoodGym is all about!

A photograph of a rubbish bag didn't seem that fun, so I took a photo of the bandstand in Chapelfield Gardens on my walk home :)
