We certainly enjoyed the best part of the day at Eastney juniors this morning - the rain stayed away until all the little munchkins had finished their runs.

Aoife kept an eye on the whole course whilst she tail-walked with Aida, whilst Judy, Sam and Katie helped keep runners on course at some of the marshal spots. Dave showed his time-keeping expertise, whilst I did what I do best - making lots of noise as the Run Director. Always one for modesty, I even gave myself a shout-out for my 250th parkrun volunteer this morning.

Go GoodGym!!

Thanks to Jen for realising that I'd inadvertently created a run report title in my safety briefing.

13 hardy GoodGymers braved the weather (& the mad Pompey traffic issues) and got out in the cold for icy runs, walks and jogs. I would guess that most of us might have decided to do it another day if it wasn't for Monday Motivation.

Kudos to Judy who logged her kms round Gatwick. She might be going on holiday but she's still contributing to the challenge!

Well done everyone, next week it's a fully virtual Monday Motivation but feel free to use the social chat to find a buddy!

Four Goodgymers and two mini Goodgymers sleighed into junior parkrun, marshaling the turnaround, run route and magic roundabout. Spirits were high, cones were jingle-belled, and cheers snowballed. Junior runners dashed through tinsel turns, spreading goodwill, mince-pie motivation and a holly-jolly helping of festive cheer, all wrapped up nicely today.
