A excellent 11 runners rocked up tonight to run socially over to Cheadle to help out local community group “socially yours” which is a friendship group that has various activities, games and events in both Edgeley and Cheadle.

Once again we met up at our start location of Lifeleisure Grandcentral at 6.30pm. After a quick chat and warm up we set off on a perfect evening run.

Our location was 4.4km away and so we ran slow and steady in the autumn leaves under the moon, a lovely evening for a run and task. Tonights task was our first leaflet drop, we were met in Cheadle village by the lovely Natalie who handed over 5000 leaflets to us (see in photos) between us we seemed to think we would post them all! Thats how confident and hardworking the Stockport crew is, this didn't happen, 5000 leaflets are more than they look1 However we did post a lot of leaflets, we set off in various areas of our coloured coded map, which I personally think looks like an odd snail on its side?? (again, see photographs!)

It was another long run for us, but a great task, so great that next week we are helping out again, just the other side of Cheadle, I'm away and so the wonderful Sam Needham from Goodgym Sheffield will be coming to look after you all, and of course we have the legendary back marker and social master** David Highman **to help out……

Massive shout out to all the runners that completed the Manchester Half marathon on Sunday, your brilliant! Also well done to Paula who completed the Saharan Challenge this week! Wooooo.

Also welcome tonight to Laurence and Matthew, you picked a tough night to join us, hope the pizza tasted good :)

Last thing from me, we/David is organising our next social which will be celebrating our 10th week in Stockport, also David will be celebrating his 52nd task!!! (Go David!) So keep a eye out, we will be chatting all fun stuff and getting some social run ideas in the bag too, starting with a Santa dash, getting a half marathon and a trail run in……

See you in a few weeks guys, until then, keep running!
