Joe and the sweaty lobster

10 GoodGymers congregated on a chilly morning to volunteer at Chelmsford Parkrun's 11th birthday event. Andy wore his birthday hat to celebrate, while Fay wore the GoodGym banner in an effort to keep warm. We welcomed a new member called George (also known as Martin) and gathered for the obligatory group picture. Our youngest supporter Eden joined us with her dad and we all set off to take up our positions.

There were some very speedy runners this morning, so fast we weren't even sure if they were taking part or just happened to be sprinting along at that time. We saw some quality fancy dress, including a dalmatian leading a dalmatian, the lobster in question and a variety of nuns. We also saw some familiar GoodGymers taking part. Joe, Joel and Richard E all waved hello as they went past. (None of them were dressed as nuns!) As the tail walkers made their way back the marshals joined them and we all congregated at the finish line for some delicious cake (although Angela wished it was more fiery!). A little starter before a well deserved fry up! We said goodbye to Laurie, David, Sallyann and Jenny who apparently had better things to do and headed off Spoons.

There are some great pictures from today, everyone was in good spirits even though we needed to defrost afterwards.

We have another litter pick coming up this week, hopefully it will be slightly warmer than last week, you can sign up here
