Woking Junior Park Run

Congratulations to Kirsty on completing her 100th GoodGym task! 🎉

Despite facing running setbacks over the last 12 months, her commitment and dedication have brought her back to both running and volunteering. Your official milestone T-shirt with wings is flying its way to you, Kirsty—just try not to actually airborne-launch during your next sprint! 🦅❤️

Kirsty met Wayne at the leisure centre for a gentle 4k run, finishing at the bandstand before volunteering duties began.🏃🏼‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Last night, six members of GoodGym Woking went on a plogging mission near to the Hoe Valley.

Adam, our designated photographer, Julie, who is thinking about training as a Run Leader, Karen who has now completed 40 good deeds, Kirsty whose enthusiasm for GoodGym knows no bounds, Luan who is determined to join our tasks and missions more often and Anne, armed with Woking Council's litter pickers eagerly joined forces to fill up three enormous bags of rubbish.

Our plogging was met by local people expressing their gratitude, which boosted our spirits! We also appreciated completing this task in the daylight and without feeling cold or wet! Let's agree that this second plogging session was a (rubbishy) success.

After a small admin oversight, GoodGym’s stalwarts ran this community mission together. Adam and James flew the GoodGym flag at Woking Junior parkrun, while the girls headed over to Knaphill to support another GoodGym community mission.

After helping the junior runners safely around their 2km course with plenty of encouragement and high fives, Adam and James decided their own legs deserved a workout too.

With volunteering duties complete, the boys headed off for a lovely run together, proving that even with the GoodGym gang split across Woking, teamwork was still running strong❤

Well done, Adam and James; volunteering and following it up with a decent run is a pretty perfect GoodGym Sunday ❤ (the boys were too busy to take any photos)
