What’s happened to the weather on Tuesdays?! For months and months we’ve enjoyed dry Tuesday evenings until late last year when our luck ran out and since then we’ve had various combinations of wet, windy & freezing!

Still it doesn’t put you lovely people off, still you come to get fit and do good! Tonight we returned to Hove Prom to help clear the stranded stones so that parkrun and other prom users can run, walk and promenade unencumbered by those pesky pebbles.

Most of the course has now been cleared by sweeping sensations Glenn & David and Glenn met us at the parkrun beach hut to arm us with shovels, brooms & buckets. We focussed on the remaining stones at the far end of the course and with the noise of scraping, shovelling and sweeping ringing in our ears we cleared another section to help Glenn and David on their mission to make parkrun stone free!

Time for a quick Tabata of press ups and burpees at the i360 on the way back to base before you were ably led home by Helena & Michael as I had a resident’s community meeting to attend as a representative of Goodgym. On the agenda were measures to tackle graffiti and our role in this was gratefully acknowledged. It was agreed that reacting quickly to unwanted graffiti was the most effective way of reducing it and Goodgym have been instrumental in helping achieve this. Great stuff!

Just a reminder that its our parkrun meet up at Hove Park this Saturday and next week we are off to the Walrus pub for our monthly social . Let us know if you are coming to these here and here.
