Having recently returned home from hospital, Mr S is very grateful for GoodGym help at the moment to pick up his essential weekly shopping for him.

Last week's super-conscientious GoodGym shopper had alerted me that I'd probably need to visit the large superstore a few km away from Mr S's flat to get all of the required items. Having already run a fair distance to get there, I wasn't too disappointed when Mr S suggested that I should be able to get all of this week's supplies from the smaller store just down the road.

And so it turned out, except for needing to substitute Mr S's first choice of cake for another type, and one completely absent item: tinned potatoes. Not to be deterred, I popped into several other local shops before store number 4 came up with the goods.

Full shop satisfyingly accomplished, it was back to Mr S with the haul before setting off back on the return leg of the long run.
