Our 2nd Group Run at GoodGym Norwich took us on a 8km return trip to West Earlham Woods to litter pick to help get it prepared for a Woodland Walk there at the weekend.

We had 7 new runners this evening and several people who hadn't run for a long time so it was great to see them there to take on the challenge.

Rachel was wearing her new GoodGym t-shirt, which she got by becoming a member and if you haven't already you can do the same here .

Katy and Bill volunteered to be back markers.

After a warm-up in front of @TheForumNorwich on a sunny evening we headed off to West Earlham Woods... and luckily we didn't get lost... always a relief!

Everyone made a great effort on the way to talk to different people and the group became friendly very quickly.

We were greeted by Noel and his team as well as Andrew from the Eastern Daily Press. We didn't have huge amount of time so everyone got stuck in and cleared as much litter as they could... with many beers cans being collected!

On the way back Katy led off some of the new runners who really done fantastically well and should be proud of themselves. I put the others through a quick squat and push-up routine for a bit of conditioning before we caught the others up and completed the trip back together.

Another fantastic evening and great to see new faces. A few of us stayed for quick drink and wind down afterwards at the cafe at The Forum.

Details of next week's run can be found here . We will also be having a bit of a social afterwards.
