Winter time approaches, and it is not always possible to find tasks for the team. So this week, we decided to run for the fun of being together in the rain... Adam, Agathe, Alys, Kirsty, Nadia and Anne were joined by Rich, our honorary GoodGymer and photographer extraordinaire!

We had another very special guest: Rocket! Rocket may soon become our GG's mascot, he is so good at running with us. He makes weird noises (sorry, I do not speak dog language) to encourage us to be faster or to keep going up the hills. Thank you Rocket.

Unfortunately, Adam had to stop as his leg was starting to be painful. But instead of running the 7 kms to St John's Village and back, he went to the gym to exercise. We hope your leg gets better soon Adam.

Tonight's route was hilly at different stages, but we managed: it was good practice for Saturday's parkrun in Ottershaw or any other race coming up this month. The rain was appreciated by most of us: it felt cool and refreshing. Not that we want it every time we are out though...

Tomorrow some of us will take part in the event "Working Together For Woking" when we will promote all the benefits GoodGym brings to both the runners and the community. We will report back, no worries!

Will you be joining us on Sunday to support Woking junior parkrun?

In the meantime, happy running to you all.

Over 100 children took to Woking park this morning for their weekly run fix. Four GoodGym members were present to help out - Kirsty was a marshal, Alys barcode scanned & James and Adam were cheerleaders after a 5k run 📣

Congratulations to Kirsty who with today’s task has achieved her 50th good deed which she has been very keen to reach! She’ll now be able to get her black GG t-shirt. It was also Alys 90th task - 10 to go until she gets her wings! 🪽

We were still raising awareness of women’s safety on this Sunday morning - Alys made sure to wear her #ThisGirlCan t-shirt and we had a couple of great conversations about #LetsLiftTheCurfew.

Please note Junior parkrun is cancelled next week following the fireworks. Join us this coming Wednesday for another training run!
