Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham
So this week's task was to deliver Age UK Norwich's quarterly magazine to various locations across Norwich. I'd pre-prepared 7 different routes with maps (I still think some people got lost haha) so this meant the group separating.
We had 1 new runner in Carolyn aka Katy's sister!
There were some big milestones this week with Jasmine and Mel reaching 25 good deeds and the GoodGym Norwich star couple Bill and Katy both doing their 50th good deed. What a difference you're all making to community organisations in Norwich.
Michelle and Helen decided it would be a good idea to run the Run Norwich 10km route before the Group Run... total madness but they got a good workout, covering over 16km over the evening!
As everyone went of in different directions in their groups there's not too much to report on this week. Calum couldn't make the run but did bring some home baked goodies for Bill & Katy's landmark... these went down well with Jasmine's birthday cakes!
After that we went to the pub for more food and a well deserved beverage.
Remember for those doing Run Norwich on Sunday, we'll meet at The Forum around 9am.
Next Monday we're Cleaning the GoGoHares.

My longest run ever let alone with Goodgym at 13k, loved it!
Monday 2nd July 2018
Anna Collins has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Anna is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Tonight's run was part of Coops Fortnight and the job in hand was to go and clean each of the 50 GoGoHares that are scattered across the city centre.
It was quite an emotional evening as it was Tom and Sarah's final good deed before they jet off to New Zealand for their future lives. It's been a pleasure having you both with us and you will be greatly missed by everyone.
We had 5 new runners this week in Jacob, David, Fleur, Kate & Cyrus.
A well done to Sam and Jack on doing their 10th good deed this evening.
I did then make the group aware that we had a photographer at the start taking photos for an EDP article and it wasn't just a random guy taking photos of everyone haha.
After the warm up the 35 GoodGym-ers were put into 6 groups and allocated certain GoGoHares to clean from the plan I'd made earlier, luckily I did make a plan otherwise they could have ended up running anywhere! Each group had around 8-9 GoGoHares to clean between them to cover the whole 50. One group headed to Riverside area, one to the Catholic Cathedral area, one to the Norwich Cathedral area, one to the Norwich Museum area, one around The Forum and the other around Chapelfields.
After all the groups set off I was stuck between the decision of going to watch the football down the pub (jokes) or try and find each group... I headed to the train station with the photographer to get some photos of the Coop sponsored GoGoHare then stumbled across 2 of the groups on my way back.
Once all the groups returned I beasted them through a fitness session (to help burn off the calories consumed at the GoodGym Norwich 1st BBQ party yesterday), which was our 1st for a while and we finished with a stretch.
Another great task was completed. Enjoy the photos of the GoGoHares.
Next week we have 2 tasks to do!
