Today Worthing GoodGym braved the wind and rain to provide support to Worthing parkrun. Our usual efforts to also promote GoodGym were slightly hampered by the need to wrap up warm and keep dry. Someone needs to remind the weather maker what month it is!

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files

From start to finish, and at most points in between, GoodGym was well represented. John led on set up, Sue marshalled at one of the many pinch points on the course, Julia made sure no one went too far directing traffic at the turn around, Barbara made sure no one missed the final turn cheering them as they headed down the finishing straight. John stepped in to the suddenly vacant Tail Walker role. Belinda kept time, recording everyone as they passed the finish line.

GoodGym were also well represented out on the course with Paul and Natacha braving the elements. Gill was also there to see the runners off.

*Here’s to you Mrs Robinson *

Today was a very special occasion, one we were all there to help celebrate. Today was Belinda’s 250th time volunteering at parkrun - her 200th time at Worthing. An amazing achievement. That equates to almost five years of weekly volunteering. Kudos! It also, coincidentally happens to be her parkrun anniversary. Coincidence, or well planned! I’ll let you decide. Let’s raise a glass, and sing together “Here’s to you….”

I love the concept of getting physically and mentally fit whilst combining it with helping others. I run most days.
