Water way to find a new task

A big well done to all who came along tonight and braved the cold wind. Good to see Space Rosy and Vicki back for their second group run. We had a last minute change to our task as our original (warm & indoor) task was canceled due to staff sickness. So we headed out for a quick (cold and outdoor) Parkletics workout followed by a run out to the shoreline at Stamshaw for a litter pick overlooking the continental ferry port and Whale Island (Naval Base).

Great enthusiasm from everyone for the Parkletics. Thanks to Rosie with an e for stepping in on camera duty for this one too. Once it gets warmer I will organise a proper Parkletics session for everyone. Let me know if you're interested in coming along.

Down by the seaside there was plenty of litter to pick! In true GG Portsmouth fashion we found discarded clothing (a pop sock) as well as rubbish from fireworks, drinks cans and bottles, a golf ball (way off course with that shot) and a plastic crate. We filled 2 extra large rubbish bags and then had to carry them for about 800m to find the nearest PCC bin to leave them by. Well done Mel on that one.

In our round up of news we learnt that Jen got a new buggy PB at the Great Run Local on Sunday (extra well done for that as the conditions were awful) and Rachel will be your friendly barcode scanner if you're heading to Southsea Parkrun this Saturday.

We're off to Baffins Pond for a community mission on Saturday at lunch time and then back in Fratton for a run to Arundel Court next Wednesday.

See you all at a GoodGym session soon!

p.s. thanks to my wonderful models for demonstrating 43 in Roman Numerals. For those who have no idea what we were up to - the 50th GoodGym is about to launch so each area has been tasked to represent their launch number - ours being 43!
