O2 levels ok, Let’s go!

1 GoodGymer made their way 17.6km to help an isolated older person in York.

This mission gave me a perfect opportunity for my long run this week and a nice chat with the pharmacist. I found out that her partner runs to visit her at work all the way from Copmanthorpe, which is easily 6-7k more to what I've done.

With oximeter in hand I ran to deliver it to Mr N.

Once outside his apartment block I had to navigate a super secure door system consisting of two gates with intercoms. I was greeted by Mr N wife who thanked me and asked when the oximeter has to be returned. I advised her to contact the GP, or the pharmacy, as I was just delivering it. Leaving the site has proven more complicated than entering it. The outer gate didn't open and I thought that I was to either sleep on the lawn, or jump over the spiked fence. (Is jumping over the fence in line with GoodGym ethos, hmmm...?) Thankfuly Mr N wife came down to let me out. Relieved not having to make a difficult choice I jogged back home.
