It was a beautiful morning as Jane, Patricia, Jason and Esther met at 8.30am!

There was a perfect 20 mins to fit in a warm up and some short sprint relays across the large field - Having very speed work at the moment for most of us with lack of racing and parkrun - It was a certainly felt in the lungs!

Great to have Jason join us for his first Goodgym session! We hope to have you back again in future - Today representing the men!

9am and we were joined by Nicola, Shelley, andElizabeth (looking fab in Goodgym T-shirt and jeans!)!. It was straight into the litter hunt!

Thanks to Friends of Hamworthy Park who lent us a bag of litter pickers, we all headed off towards the play area. The beach and park is a popular family area with playpark, beach and a (currently empty) paddling pool, as well as beach huts and playing field. Friends of Hamworthy Park carry out a weekly littler pick but are always looking for more volunteers to help maintain the large area.

It all looked good on first inspection and not a litter to be seen - But with a good look around we found bottles, lots of cigerette ends, tissues and even make up compact and shampoo!

Happy with our loot it was all bagged up and left for the council to collect.

It was amazing seeing some familiar faces - Ones many of us have not seen since pre lockdown!

Being a lovely day - No one could run after the mission as had to shoot onto family matters so it was mission accomplished by 9.45!
