Cardiff Report written by Nathan Swain
Maybe it's because of January challenge. Maybe it's because providing much needed high fives to 150 kids is an awesome way to start the day. Either way, this morning, 13 goodgym runners headed to help out at Cardiff junior parkrun for the third week in a row.
Despite the pouring rain they cheered, they marshalled, they high fived, they scanned, they fist bumped, they double high fived.
The kids and parents ran, they skipped, they smiled, they stropped, they high fived, they smashed it.
GGC&V members will no doubt be back throughout the year as its a perfect kind of way to start a Sunday.

Tom Bourton earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Tom completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Tom was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

On #SocialSunday - 16 GoodGym runners helped out at Cardiff's Junior Parkrun by doing everything from marshalling to 'tail' walking.
We helped all the children absolutely smash out the 2km course and it was great to see the smiles on their faces as they kept fit on Llandaff fields.
It's always great to volunteer at the Junior Parkrun and we hope to do it more now. It kicks off your Sunday with a breath of fresh air and it's always great to socialise with friends!
Pete had his trusty tail on to help the ones at the back, while Ted was there, as always, with his infectious smile and super energetic cheering. There were a few who missed out last week - who were over the moon to be able to volunteer - like Mike and Imy.
Some of us will see you sooner - but we can't wait to help out with Parkrun again in March as they share our common interest of using our fitness to do good in the community.

Bath Report written by Bath runner
The sun was out tonight in Bath along with a 15 strong team ready to tread the streets for a nice 4K run to Oldfield Baptist Toddler group to clean the kiddies play things ready for a new term.
A big shout out to everyone who'd raced over the last week
during the pre run catch up and always confused headcount.
And they're off
to Oldfield park with the sunshine in their eyes and cool breeze in their hair, to get steaming and cleaning with toys. Liz was excited to see us and understandably as it normally takes her a day and a half to do this task on her own
Enough to drive anyone crazy
from steaming soft toys to sanitizer and dish sterilisation of all those little blocks n bits.
Some might say we are Potty
They did such a good, we even formed a band with a little help from the instrument box..... A...mazing!!!
Time up and they're off back to the leisure centre, where it all began. A discussion about the Pun which I believe I may have confused on the journey home.
Thanks Pascale for taking the tail, Rosie for the Pun and everyone for being fab.
Jaxx is now officially task force so watch this space, she full of fun ideas.

I'd have gone with "The Run and Steam-py Show" but just realised that might actually be an obscure reference these days!
