Five runners ran 4km to deliver leaflets for Menphys

Plan A Run to help the Canal & River Trust at Belgrave Lock - failed due to staff illness

Plan B Nip to collect the leaflets from Menphys due for next week's task - tick

Plan Run Up along the river, through Rally Park, along Fosse Road North and back down Hinckley Road to the strategically placed car containing aforementioned leaflets - tick

Plan Deliver Menphys need volunteers at their shop. They are a wonderful local charity so let's spread the word by delivering their recruitment leaflets to the local residents around their shop. Split into teams, take a street at a time. Cover all residences in Cranmer Street, Ridley Street, Latimer Street, Tyndale Street, Luther Street, Livingstone Street, Shaftesbury Road and the sections of Fosse Road South and Hinckley Road that make up the rectangle shape all in half a measly hour - tick (apart from the houses with no junk mail, cold callers, charities, canvassers, politicians, magicians etc etc etc)

Plan Fitness Loop our way around Bede Park on the way back - tick

Plan Celebrate Dave's 100th good deed tonight, the second from GG Leicester to achieve such a feat and a fully deserving GG Angel as the man who launched and led our group for the bulk of its existence to date, what a GoodGym Leicester legend so off to the pub we go again - tick

Plan Plans Tell everyone about forthcoming plans...coming up, more leafleting, hopefully a return to help on the canal, hopefully a return to visit Scope at long last, definitely a trip to the Silverstone 10k, get yourself signed up - tick

Plan Sleep Goodnight - tick
