Two GoodGymers, Chandrima and Aman, braved a blustery morning at Greenwich Peninsula parkrun with a "feels like" temperature of a biting 1°C. 🌡️ It was a busy event with 484 participants who toughed it out, making every cheer count! 📣👏

Chandrima marshalled at the North Curve, guiding and interacting with participants around the course, encouraging every runner, warning of obstacles or hazards (like puddles from the light rain earlier! 🌧️) , and ensuring safety despite hands nearly freezing in the wind. 🧤🛑

Aman took on the challenging role of Funnel Manager, overseeing the whole finish area and ensuring all 484 participants moved smoothly and swiftly through the finish funnel. 🎯🏁

After the run, we also helped with removing course signs to ensure everything was packed away smoothly. 🚧✅

Despite the chill, the steady stream of smiles, thank-yous and that lovely London view made it all worth it! 😊🌆❤️

Saturday means parkrun (non-negotiable in my calendar), and this week it came with a side of cheer pressure — the good kind! A +1 to my good deeds tally as I joined my fellow Goodgymer Marta at Greenwich Peninsula parkrun.

Marta took charge as the fabulous Funnel Manager, keeping everything flowing smoothly, while I stepped into the parkwalker role — because sometimes the best way to move forward is one steady step at a time. My warm-up? A gentle jog to the task. Efficient and smugly punctual.

Along the way I bumped into my friend Dee (who I met at a previous running event) and met her friend too — parkrun really is a social network. While out on the course I teamed up with Lorraine, and of course we chatted about… running, races, weather, shoes..

I made sure to dish out plenty of cheers to the runners. Turns out, cheering others on is the perfect power source. Hence: Cheer Pressure. 👏

The weather behaved itself too — dry (hooray!), a bit windy but no rain so absolutely no complaints from me.

Another great Saturday, another brilliant community moment, and that’s 101 good deeds in the bag.

Right — no rest for the righteous… off to the next task! 😄

How can you jump hemispheres so easily? Well, nothing like a volunteering on top of the Greenwich meridian line! Lobo and Anna had some fun crossing the line just for fun. Sunny (but chilly), fun, 639 runners and 20+2GG volunteers 😊 made it a great morning!
