Tonight marked our last Group Run of 2017, 6 months after we started in Norwich.

A few of us were still recovering from our little trip away to Prague and Krakow over the weekend but we still made it.

Rob Riley was on his potentially last GoodGym Norwich run before heading on to pastures new in London... he's already found the nearest GoodGym in Barnet, I've been to one of the runs there and they are a great bunch - they also do a biscuit club after the run! All the best Rob and you'll be missed here in Norwich.

This evening also marked Bill's 20th Group Run (the 1st person in Norwich to reach that landmark) and Calum's 10th.

Due to the cold weather, the animals at Angelica's Rainbow had already been moved inside so we were going next door to them instead to the Marlpit Community Centre to do some clearing, raking and pruning. The same guys look after the community centre so they greeted us there.

Dan was lead runner this evening and I was back runner. Somehow we avoided most of the rain.

Cecile, Lora and their colleagues very kindly put on Mince Pies, Mulled Wine and Stollen for us to consume at the Marlpit Arms afterwards where we also had a little game of charades, check out the video on the GoodGym Norwich Facebook page. So thank you ladies it was a very kind gesture of you.

A little later than usual, we headed back to The Forum for the last time in 2017.

I just wanted to reiterate how fantastic the 1st 6 months have been and I can't wait for what lies ahead in 2018 for us. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. I'll see a lot of you at the Xmas meal next Monday.

The next run is listed here.
