Woking Junior Park Run

Woking Junior Park Run returned this morning after last weeks Surrey 1/2 Marathon had taken over the park. It was great seeing the faces of the young runners who also took part last Sunday for the Kids Race showing off their medals 🥇

Wayne, Karen, Adam, & Caterina were out on the course as marshals cheering and encouraging the runners around the 2k course. Even though the sky's were gray it was great conditions to run 😊

In total this morning there were 131 runners with the fastest time an amazing 07:00. There were also 62 PB's greatrunning by everyone.

This evening Woking GG celebrated all that is good and wonderful about our Anne 😇

Woking GG had reserved a VIP section at the Sovereign's and it was great to see such a good turn out. All our fantastic crew Adam, James, Wayne, Katie, Alys, Agathe, Maya, Rebecca, Kirsty, Lauren, Julie, Nadia, Luan, Caterina, & Sally Anne who was back in town for a few weeks as she was on uni break (Was great to see Sally Anne) and a lovely surprise for Anne 😄 it was also great to see Phil who joined us to celebrate Anne.

Anne has been with Woking GG from the very beginning she was there at the launch night back in 2016. She has seen many faces come and go but Anne has remained that constant face encouraging, supporting showing kindness to all that have joined. Her dedication and commitment has been amazing and it shows with over 300 good deeds and still going strong ❤️

Anne has taken on the roles as task force and now run leader, and continues to help others with organizing hill training sessions as well as tasks within the community.

Woking GG are very lucky to have her, Anne in her speech tonight dedicated her award to all her goodgym crew who she said also deserved the award but in our eyes Anne is a worthy winner of this amazing award as she also has all the attributes that amazing Sean had ❤️

My warm up consisted of jogging 2 k to the park run, were I was welcomed by Wayne, Nadia and Andy We made our way to Saint Johns and were greeted by Kirsty Julie and the organisers of the Laurel removal. We began to clear huge laurels that had previously been chopped down and neatly stacked. I found this educational and was told that smaller fragments supports growth of bacteria and fungi. From the laurels there can also be the smell of almonds in the air. Coffee and biscuits offered which were warmly welcomed. The weather held out which kept us going and we were grateful to the WeAct Woking team for keeping us in check. Job done 👍 We certainly did not rest on our Laurels! 🍃
