By the time we arrived at the session tonight, Paul and I had looked at the map of Heaton so many times I felt like I'd moved there yet we started off tonight by completely confusing everyone. This was the third time we've leafleted in this student-dense area to spread the word of what we do at GoodGym and with around 150 leaflets left, we didn't want to miss anywhere out.
After a quick catch up we got cracking straight away, up the hill from Stepney Bank went the runners: Paul, Aimee and Lucy, while Louise and I walked briskly behind them. We initially planned to cover two streets tonight but it ended up being more like four with only one brief separation of the group. That's pretty good going!
We stayed in Heaton for the fitness session which was a quick speed session in which Aimee and Lucy ran hard and fast together, showing top class GoodGym encouragement - as well as super marshalling by Louise and Paul of course!
That's our big GG leaflet drive complete now but if you fancy some letterbox action of your own, we have two opportunities to leaflet in Gateshead this week on Thursday and Sunday so do check the listings if you want to join in.
