Not "sofa" to run to request an unwanted settee!
11 GoodGymers made their way 7.0km to help the British Heart Foundation Furniture and Electrical Store in Leicester.
- Tuesday, 5th of December 2017
- Led by David Snutch
Leaflet distribution for the BHF was the order of the night.
As we set off the night air seemed Ok but as it went on it seemed to get colder and colder. We beat our host to the meeting point at the BHF furniture store and it was a bit of a worry to find it all locked up and her not answering her phone. Ok so maybe we were too early?
We went for an impromptu jog around a couple of blocks led by Sam who showed us some impressive graffiti hidden away in the cultural quarter.
As we arrived back about 10 minutes later our host turned up, phew! We had a quick photo under the lights of the store then all took a bag of about 100 leaflets for distribution when we got to Belgrave.
Out along Charles St and Belgrave Gate and down to the golden mile where we had a quick regroup under the xmas lights to decide who was going to do which street.
Working in pairs the quicker runners took the furthest out streets slower runners took the nearer etc. Once again GG Leicester did about 10 streets in record time.
With everyone back safe to the agreed meet point it was time to jog back through town to the finish. The records suggest that this was Lee's first run but of course we all know he was at the Quadrant, who can forget the pictures of him hoovering.
One to go before the xmas break and theres the social on the 21st.
See you all there.
