To celebrate GoodGym's 10th Birthday we were doing a flyer drop for the YMCA as well as spreading the word about the wonderful things we do on Wednesday evenings.

10 of us gathered for the 10th year celebrations. Wet set off through the Gardens in search of some of the art that is on display at the underpass. Some stunning artwork that has been organised by our very on Andrea, part of the Arts by the Sea festival that is taking place of the weekend of the 27th to 29th in Bournemouth. Lots and lots to see and do, so make sure you check it all out here. We will also be running a community mission/starter session on the 29th. Sign up here for that.

We welcomed back Nicola and Kristina, as well as Sean, who never misses the opportunity and synchronicity of a flyer drop....or was it the food and drinks after?

Our route took us up Leven Avenue which is lined by tall and beautiful trees on both sides and hugely expensive houses on one side.....enough to distract you from the steep climb to the top of the road.

We gathered at the top and pretended like it hadn't cost us half a lung to run up the hill, had a quick chat and set off again along another tree lined street that would lead us to our starting point...and to more very expensive houses.

The gang split up into 2 teams of 5 and with flyers in hand went on parallel roads spreading the word about our goodness. Very often we would enter a driveway only to realise that is was the exit to a house where someone else had already entered via the other side....these houses were immense....one day we'll be old enough to be able to afford one....or be high society enough to know someone to who lives in one!

We flitted in and out of houses and never ending driveways and soon found ourselves back at the Gardens and the only thing that was left was to head back to Flirt and gather our things and start dreaming of the first beer and what we would order for food!

We said goodbye to some and Sean, Abi, Andrea, Caprice, KC, Neil and I headed to the Dancing Moose for some well earned food and drink. Read through the lovely GoodGym book that goes to show the amazing impact that GoodGym has had on people, and realising that we are part of something very special. I am extremely grateful for the wonderful people GoodGym has brought into my life. You guys are amazing. Can't wait to run and hang with you next week!

Special shout out to those of you training for the races coming up! Amber on top of her training, has also decided to give up smoking, so please give her a huge cheer and make sure she feels your support....and pressure to keep at it! It's not easy Amber, but well worth it, and you definitely are!

See you next week!
