Celebrating 2 years of GoodTimes Bournemouth

It was 2 years ago tomorrow that GoodGym was launched in Bournemouth, and we decided to celebrate it with a games and team bonding outing to the beach. Andrew, Daryl and Caprice were all there that day and this evening too, it is amazing that we haven't managed to scare them off since! Caprice is so dedicated that she even came along despite being sick and not yet having recovered from working a 5 day festival, and a night shift the night before!

As we didn't run, it meant that Lee was able to come along and join us. He hasn't been able to join in on runs, much to his annoyance, due to injury. And how much we have missed our best photographer!!

It was pretty blustery down by the beach, which meant that we didn't have to fight over a spot, and our frisbee skills were going to be put to the test! After a beer sitting down and getting chilly some of us decided to try to throw the frisbee around. At first the wind made it really difficult, but by the end the gang were gliding that disc around like pros! Amazing how much of a work out you can get out of chasing a Frisbee around that keeps drifting away from you!! There were some amazing flying catches made by Lee and Neil.

Millie brought along a game called Kubb, and although it is usually played as a drinking game, we played it in its purest form! Picture a game of skittles, but with wooden blocks, thin sticks instead of balls, two teams and a half way line...get the idea? Didn't think so....look it up and try it out, it was great fun. Thank you Millie and Daryl who graciously lost to Meghan, Dan and myself! Wooohooo! No wonder we enjoyed it!

After the sun went down, we slowly made our way home, not before posing for some team shots with our wonderful beach scenery as the backdrop.

All things back to normal next week as we run to help out at BodyPositive in their garden. We have never been there before, so it's a chance to make new friends again! It's not a long run so we will bring in some intervals and fitness exercises to keep everyone in shape! Sign up here
