HAPPY NEW YEAR A big welcome back to the new year from Woking GoodGym.

Woking Junior Park Run

The first session of the year and an extra treat for GoodGym Woking as this one took place on a Sunday morning. 8:30am start at the bandstand in Woking Park to meet the race director Tina for a brief and to get our high vis jacket and to be told what our roles were. There was a good turn out in volunteers this morning and we all received our marshal spots. High fives at the ready!

Anne the super woman - with only three hours of sleep after volunteering last night then on to park run and then after wards she was off for some more volunteering at the prison.... what a woman!!!! I hope you enjoy an early night and good nights rest tonight!

It was nice to see George and Barbara who's new years resolution is to come to more GoodGym Sessions - You started well, keep it up!

A big well done to Josh, James and Rebecca who went off for a run after helping out! Rebecca is taking part in the RED for January (run every day), if you would like to donate please speak to Rebecca when you next see her - you have all month to do so!

As for myself - as they had so many volunteers (thanks to GG) I decided to take my youngest round the course. The eldest loved it and managed the 2km, it was an emotional 1km with the youngest. But we will back to try again, as for eldest she's now determined to beat her time.

It was a lovely atmosphere at the park this morning and its great to see so many children of all ages getting involved. A big well done to the GG marshalls with all their high fives, i know certainly my two loved giving high fives to everyone and they loved the encouragement.

We also received a great little bit of marketing to the Junior Park Run, and hopefully we will spread the GoodGym love to more people.

I will be there next weekend, I will be volunteering whilst the eldest runs. If anyone would like to join me then let the Park Run team know.

The Next Group Run

Wednesday we will be meeting at WWF to head to Brockhill - we will be inside once we are there! Please remember your lights as the run will be dark. Also it's my 100th deed :)
