Bin there, cleaned that, got the t-shirt

Tonight's Group Run saw us visit the 20th different community organisation in only 21 Group Runs in Norwich so we are really making a difference in helping our local community.
We visited The Norwich Housing Society (which is a group of sheltered & social housing schemes) to clean their bins, some benches and the lights & archways around the entrances to each house.
It was just under a mile distance each way.
We also had Rebecca and Tim taking part in their 10th GoodGym Group Run!
Bill volunteered as back runner and we headed off on a gentle stroll to our task. It was the 1st time we visited the north of the city for several weeks so was nice to have a change.
The runners split in groups on arrival to cover the different jobs that needed doing.
It was another nice little task to do and a lot was done in a short time.
As the Ice Skating Rink is currently being erected outside The Forum, I needed to think of an alternative to the fitness session outside there... so on the way back we stopped off in Chapelfield Gardens for an efforts session. This consisted of 3x 1 lap with 90 second recoveries in between with the aim of getting faster each time.
This was followed by a quick cool down gentle jog back to The Forum followed by a stretch.
