• A big welcome to Nick who joined us for his first GG Group Run experience.. Nick is part of the semble.org platform. Semble help set up small and local community projects get the support they deserve, we look forward to working with semble to hopefully find us some new projects for our group runs.
• If you like 'GoodGym Woking' on FB, then you would have seen our GG members, James, Barbara and George making the most of a Sunday morning and taking part in the Elmbridge 10km. If you don't like us on FB yet... why not??
• If you are keen for the Nut Challenge at the end of August then let us know, Wayne is keen and it would be great to get some more members muddy on the course!
• Adam has been training hard and working well at completing his long runs ready for his Ultra which is approaching soon... keep up the great work!
• If anyone fancies an Ab workout tonight then let us know, as there will be a bootcamp happening!

The group run:

Currently sat at my dining room table enjoying some delicious rhubarb on top of my yogurt and granola... Rhubarb picked last night from the GG allotment. We also enjoyed potatoes picked and ate within 2hrs last night! The joys of harvesting your own crops and they taste so much nicer! Last night we set off from Woking Park and headed towards Derry's allotment. I was certainly glad that it wasn't a long run as it was a HOT one last night! Arriving at the allotment we quickly set off to work with James and Owen tackling the weeds at the end of the plot, myself and Wayne digging up and weeding the potatoes and with everyone else making the rest of the plot look lovely with weeds and tidying to do. We have a nice big area in which we hope to create a frame work and cover some brussel sprouts with netting. It was dusty work and the plants needed a good watering. With the plot looking a lot better and with everyone stocked up on potatoes, rhubarb and cucumber. Nick had the Magical idea of a mini fitness test. So in the communal area of Derry's allotment the team set to work. With 5 exercises only but seeing how many you could do in the amount of time. Everyone building up a good sweat!! NIce! We had a gentle run back to the Park with everyone having a chat along the way.

Next week

We are going to meet at Pyrford Primary school, here we will be painting the train in the playground.
