Thanks to Jen for realising that I'd inadvertently created a run report title in my safety briefing.

13 hardy GoodGymers braved the weather (& the mad Pompey traffic issues) and got out in the cold for icy runs, walks and jogs. I would guess that most of us might have decided to do it another day if it wasn't for Monday Motivation.

Kudos to Judy who logged her kms round Gatwick. She might be going on holiday but she's still contributing to the challenge!

Well done everyone, next week it's a fully virtual Monday Motivation but feel free to use the social chat to find a buddy!

a brisk post parkrun pick in the january chill saw us filling 3 huge jam buckets with rubbish! no socks but we did find a dolls bottle and reunited a glove with its owner.

Team GG Pompey picked their first batch of 2026 litter around Canoe Lake.

Surprisingly and happily there wasn't a ton to collect. but the usual cig ends and sweet wrappers were all put to the picker.

A few firework casings were about after last nights festivities.

And a pesky floating plastic bag was just out of reach for Dave, who gladly didnt take a new year plunge in with the swans!!

After some Happy New Years to GG-ers and parkrun friends. The wonderful Dan Del Picolo played in the new year with Auld Lang Syne on the bagpipes, as is tradition at Southsea parkrun on NYD. Less traditional was Team GG doing the can-can to the tune 🤣👯‍♀️

With red shirts on the course and in the many runners, GoodGym was well and truly represented to kick off 2026.

It was lovely to meet Zainu and Nene for their first tasks.

The January Challenge has begun!
