Hospice helpers make flower beds good enough to lie in

Keeping the sunny in Sunny Worthing

Tonight we headed back to St Barnabas to tidy up the flower beds and prune the trees in the car park which are difficult to reach within business hours.

After a hot warm up run to the task, my trusty regular team armed with tools set to work on the task. Nick opted for the high road, Gill and Belinda the low road whilst Beth got lost in the middle somewhere. Can you spot her in the 'Find the Beth photo?!'

Roses are red , violets are blue,hospice loves helpers and GoodGym does too!

With the work rate faster than the speed of light we hardly had time to make a wish before it was time to clear up and take the steamy run back to our 'one night only' base at Worthing Leisure Centre.

Its a RUNderful life

A quick flick around the track as a warm down and it was another fond farewell from the GoodGym team.

Helping Hands hew hospice hedges

In glorious sunny weather we faced our longest challenge yet with a run to our local hospice at St Barnabas to help them tidy up areas of the car park that have limited access in working hours.

We welcomed new runner Ed tonight ! Big GoodGym cheer to you . We hoped you enjoyed yourself!

After a balmy run along the seafront including a brief pause for a photo shoot we were warmly greeted at St Barnabas by Jenny and John with some more photos and an outline of our task tonight.

It was Cheerie'hoes and fine pruning as GoodGym worked their usual magic in double quick time .

A lush GoodGym cheer to Gill, Beth , Michelle, Duncan, and Nick and and an extra one for Ed too for all the energy and skill you showed tonight.

Not only did we prune we tidied too before it was

Hoe down at Highdown!

With a brisker run back including a sprint effort for the last 2.5 k , it was an epic 15 k in total! Wow wow wowzer !

Congratulations and big love to you all

Looking forward to seeing you all next week :)
