GoodGym parkrun ( almost takeover)

Following a very successful parkrun with fantastic support from the (almost) sober and sensible Worthing team of GoodGym volunteers a handful of us met up for the New Year GoodGym starter run.

It was a great delight to welcome our newest member Paula who will soon be modelling her red T shirt with pride. In a few short hours shes already getting a taste of the GG whats app banter ! Surely there cant be many whats app groups within GoodGym that are quite as active,cheeky and funny as ours ?! Maybe the prodigal GG super hero Beth could comment on this please.

There was also a guest appearance from Nick who led the walking group together with Barbara, Paul and John, Roxy , Michelle and Romeo.

Tis the season

Both the walking and running group set off and soon reconvened for a photo on the pier. From here the running front group set off along the seafront to Brooklands for an out and back route and the walk/runners followed until we all met up at the turn around point.

This is where it got rather spooky ! The front runners stopped on the seafront for an impromptu fitness session so that the walkers could catch us up and we could all finish together.

So, te question is, how did 3 walkers miss 5 runners doing a fitness session on exactly the same route along the seafront. The stealthy light footed trio walked right past the focused and fit athletes and neither noticed each other :):):)

When the runners finally decided that the walkers must have gone on a detour we headed back the short distance to the meeting point to find them looking rather smug that they had already finished !

Happy New Year Team Worthing

After some stretches and chatter we all dispersed until next Monday when we will be meeting up with our friendly park ranger for some outside work at Marine Gardens. I decided we needed a cruel to be kind start to 2019 with none of the cushy inside tasks that you have all got used to recently!

I cant wait to deliver another year of fitness and good deeds to you all ..... and speaking of fitness ......
