Drop it like its hot for 14 runners this evening in Bath all in the name of FOODDROP, a great initiative created by students at Bath University using a clever little app to select a drop that suits, collecting surplus food from various outlets in the city centre and delivering them to local charities, yes it`s that simple so why not get involved https://www.fooddrop.co.uk/

WARM UP AND WELCOME to Thanu and Emilie joining us for their first taste of Goodgym Bath...Nice to have you along.

Our headcount tonight had a filling feel to it, what sandwich filling floats your boat? Most creative answer from Chris with his Avocado and smoked salmon creation...Yummy!!

The pickups couldn’t take place until 7pm so we had time to enjoy a fitness session in Southgate centre beforehand making use of the artificial grass for some extra padding working in pairs, planking and sit-ups with an audience enjoying every moment.

The time came to split up into three groups led by myself, Thanu and Alison covering two Pret locations and The Soho coffee house to collect todays surplus food and make our drops to project 28 and The YMCA in the City centre. Varying distances ran tonight from 4-6k

The pick-ups are always at 7pm when the stores close and taken after scanning the location barcode to verify the collectors with the assigned charities receiving the Surplus food before they distribute it on to those in need.

WE`LL MEET AGAIN

I do know where, I do know when, I know we`ll meet again at 7:30pm in the Abbey Churchyard for a little run to finish off before heading back to the leisure centre to see if any of the groups came up with a top notch pun for tonight’s run report.

The winning pun goes to Joe with “What an unbaguette-able run”

Thanks to Sam for leading tonight’s stretches...Superman Sam he is.

Thank you to Miranda, Thanu joining us from Food drop, just download the App to make it a regular thing, the drops are Monday to Friday and with the student holidays looming they could do with all the support they can get.

Finally, We need an Olympic torch making for the Goodgym Olympics at the end of the month, so if you’re feeling creative let me know or if you’d like to compete sign up https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-taskforce-presents-the-goodgym-olympics-2018
