For reasons unknown, our normal post-GSR haunt, The Clubhouse, was closed post run, but were giving away free sausage baps!! Instead, the cheer squad reunited with runner at Esquires, where delicious hot chocolate, coffee, smoothies, and unspecified pastries were consumed. I didn't remember to take any photos, so please enjoy a picture of some cinammon buns and coffee, courtesy of BBC Food.

Absolutely amazing work from our GoodGym team at today's Great South Run! Apologies to Ayad and Laura as we didn't manage to catch you for a photo and a wave - hope you enjoyed your runs!

What a lovely morning we had at the new Meon Valley Trail parkrun! Just a short stroll from Wickham Square, we joined the 460 runners, joggers and walkers for event number 4.

From our parkwalking position, Dave was able to snap a few photos as GoodGymers headed back along the out-and-back path.

It was also lovely to have a catch up at The Spotted Cow after - I did feel sorry for the very overworked barista coping with the epic post-parkrun crowds!

Today was Southsea parkruns Foodbank run and Team GG showed up well.

After donating our tins of food we set off on the course to complete the 5k.

With some additional support from Tony and Jo who are still recovering from injuries. Always nice to see our friends out and about.

5 hardy volunteers braved the rain to help with registration, marshalling and medal distribution at City Of Portsmouth AC's Victory 5 race.

A big thank you from the race director, the races don't happen without volunteers.

I didn't manage to get a group pic so please enjoy the montage with my face in it too many times!! 😆

Almost a full day's work done today.

Expert cyclist/traffic marshalling by our event safety manager Louisa "mind the gravel, low gear", tea and coffee duties by Tony who was relentlessly making drinks for 3 hours without a break, waterboy Dave who's done some weightlifting with the water barrels. I was chopping oranges and cakes trying to make the food last a little longer.... plus bin duty (the glamour!!).

Supreme efforts and plenty of GG spirit on display from the team today 💪🏼

On a lovely Tuesday evening, an Olympic inspired bunch of GoodGymmers rocked up to help with some gardens at one of our favourite venues, St John's Court.

Lining up for this race were Portsmouth GoodGym alumni and Olympic legends Katie and Tony. Previous medal winners Felicia and James had also qualified for this final, whilst new to the Olympics Evie had also made it to the final. Finally, veteran Meyrick completed the lin up.

Straight out of the blocks we were tackling the weeds in the beatifully tranquil garden area at the back of St Johns Court, right by the river. This Olympic venue is is managed accommodation for the elderly and we were also joined by Lily and Sam, residents with action and support in there hearts.

WE had a lot to do in an hour but made quick work of the two flower beds we were asked to weed, also having time to plant flowers in their place which are likely to make this a really nice gardens feature over the next few weeks.

Peripheral work was also going on as more cutting back needed doing in the general area, to help make this as tranquil and tidy an area for the residents to enjoy.

Great work by all, everyone won Gold and everyone broke World Records.
