11 runners ran around Chelmsford dropping off GoodGym leaflets and information

The long winter is almost over; it was still light when I arrived at Mildmay Gym this evening! We caught up on some very exciting news - it's our social tomorrow, James G and Rich are running Brentwood Half Marathon at the weekend, and James G and myself are speaking on BBC Essex Radio's breakfast show on Saturday! Big weekend for James eh?!

The leafleting task and area we were running to was outlined, and I explained that there may be some help needed on exact locations. After a quick warm up, Rich led out, and Rachel and Catherine had the great idea of stopping off to drop a leaflet at the Cathedral offices. We caught up with the rest of the group at the top of the High Street, and then went along a route around Moulsham to a lot of churches and other organisations. The couple of people we spoke to where we dropped the leaflets off were enthusiastic, and hopefully will generate some great new tasks for us! Well done Julie and Rich for engaging with them.

We headed over to BBC Essex for a quick photo op, and then on to the park for a little bit of extra fitness. We split into two groups, and completed a relay, or two? I'm not sure what happened. There was some confusion, sorry everyone, but we managed to fit more exercise and teamwork in!

Thanks for coming along, fingers crossed for new charity partners! Next week we're heading up to Broomfield for some gardening.

We're at the quiz tomorrow at The Golden Fleece from 7.30pm; a table is booked under my name. We're also on BBC Essex Radio on Saturday, if you didn't already know, at 7.05am. Let's hope we don't embarrass ourselves!
