Our Roy is the parkrun director of the Junior parkrun in Hove Park, and he always welcomes his GoodGym friends willing to volunteer and participate to this event as much as we do like to do this GoodGym community mission to see him (also). Roy has such a great spirit and he’s always active as we all are, now on a mission to finish his master!

We like parkrunning! Yesterday we were in Bevendean Downs and had a community meet up at The Bevy Pub – More Than a Pub! We are super keen to keep supporting them with our volunteering work and breakfast orders 😊 after running their 5K parkrun on the top of the hills up there – where there is a wonderful landscape, really!

And, we like (certainly I do) to volunteer at the Junior parkrun in Hove, despite slightly sleepy on a Sunday morning 😊. Either as a run back marker or as marshals, we always enjoy ourselves by cheering those little heroes running this recreational 2.5K parkrun race, dressed up as spider man, superman or fairy, or still in their pyjamas – but, always smiling!
Nice spotting our Maddalena and superhero active mummy who is on a personal mission to pass her own passions to her little ones!

And, and ... Surprise surprise… Guess who did we meet yesterday?

As our photographer, Rebecca, can confirm it was Paul Sinton-Hewitt, the founder of parkrun!

That was an emotional Good weekend, indeed.

I like running and biscuits. The more I run, the more biscuits I can eat.
