Helen, Linda, Max and Rachel met Run Director Charlotte this morning at Castle Parkrun in Manor. The winds were high and the skies were grey as we hoped and prayed the rain would stay away until we'd finished. We all started by competing on how many layers we were wearing and still moaning we were cold! 😄

I was timekeeping for the first time and feeling the pressure, so glad to have the very experienced Linda as back up. Max was barcode scanning. We all danced to keep warm as we cheered on the 65 runners and walkers including GoodGym family Carys (who finished 13th, despite starting late!), Sarah and Helen bringing up the rear as tailwalker.

Next one is planned to be Concord 5th March - it would be great to start getting better turnouts so it can be a real monthly "takeover" improving Goodgym's visibility and allowing to offer pacers
