A fabulous 14 runners came along to Goodgym Bath tonight for a 6.5k run around the city handing out backpacks full of essential items to the homeless for Julian house.

Great to see some new faces this evening with a very warm welcome to Amelia, Lauren, Alison and Mike joining us for a bit of Goodgym Goodness on the streets of Bath.

Everyone arrived in good time giving us a chance to chat about Goodgym and catch up with what's been happening within Goodgym Bath before our warm up and headcount without a glitch.

Everyone had a little extra weight to carry on our run around the city centre as we weaved our way through the streets looking for Homeless folk to hand them a little something to make life a bit easier on these cold winter nights from toiletries to thermal blankets.

It's been nearly one year since last doing this task but still some familiar faces out there rough sleeping who Remember us, sad to see so little has changed for them in the last year.

Lots of opportunities for some fitness extras tonight from press ups to walking lunges making us stronger runners. John was moving like margarine this evening ... you really had to be there!

A good 40 minutes on the move with time taken to chat with the homeless about their dogs and things in general. Giving out toiletries and personal care to warm clothing and thermal blankets, so spare a thought for those less fortunate in the winter months.

Everything given out so it was time to head back to the leisure centre for a well earned stretch out and the one thing non of us knew was apparently THE EARTH IS FLAT ... Really !?

Thanks to Irena for backmarking and Alison for tonight's inspiration on the pun. Next week were off to action on hearing loss so be sure to sign up https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/evan-needs-us

Thanks guys for another epic night in the streets of our beautiful city
