It wasn't the nicest of weather on Sunday morning but that didn't stop our lovely Goodgymer's getting stuck in and helping out at Junior Parkrun this weekend. Emily, Karen & Nigel were out in force, encouraging all the Juniors to have a great morning. A total of 59 juniors and 16 volunteers made the event another great success and the perfect way to start off a Sunday morning! Well done everyone!

It was a beautiful morning for another Crewe Parkrun. Goodgym volunteers Emily, Karen, Kat, Nigel and Nicola made their way down to the park to undertake a variety of volunteering roles at Crewe Parkrun this week. Emily had the arduous (to me, although Emily loves it!!) task of token sorting, while Karen was our fantastic Run Director for the day. Kate & Eli (the dog) were parkwalkers, Nigel, pre-event set up and Nicola Event day course check.

It was a task effortlessly executed by our lovely team and was great to be out representing Goodgym on another lovely day at Pakrun.

Well done Team!

The Magnificent 7 are back!!! Wow, 7 lovely Goodgymer’s came together this evening for a task to support the wonderful charity, Motherwell. It was great to have Alison back with us this evening – so lovely to see you again Alison, we’ve missed you!

We started our evening with a pre-exercise warmup – a few simple moves to get the old heart pumping with a few fun exercises thrown in from the Junior Parkrun team repertoire – my personal favourite being the Gorilla Stomps! (I'm pretty sure we didn't look as good as when the children do it mind you!

We had a running group and a walking group this evening. The runners did a circular route down through Joey the Swan, taking in 2 hills (one up, one down!) and our walking group did an out and back route. We were lucky as the weather was dry while we were out but the rain set in once we got back! It’s really lovely to see the night’s finally drawing out – we didn’t even need our torches tonight! It starting to feel a lot like Summer…..

Back at Motherwell, we set to work with the evening’s task. Nigel had the job of putting a Moses basket stand together (a bigger task than you might think with no instructions or tools!), Karen & Maurice worked together to clear out and sort the stationary/marketing cupboard, Adele, Alison & Emily took on the task of sorting out the craft cupboard and I helped Kate with some general bits of sorting. It was an evening well spent and the cupboards were looking much better once our lovely members had worked their magic! Adele even managed to sweep up the floor with a brush and a miniature beach spade - we certainly know how to improvise!

Well done everyone – another amazing night’s work and lovely to all be together again this evening.

Have a great week everyone! See you all next time!!

Lots of love Nicola xxx

Today we got to combine two of the things we love the most - Goodgym and Parkun!

Kat, Karen, Emily, Maurice, Nigel & Nicola all rocked up at Crewe Parkrun for a bit of Goodgym volunteering for our Community Mission. We are all BIG fans of parkrun, so it was no hardship to come together for a spot of volunteering at our home parkrun!! Between us we did pre-event set up, event day course check, first timer's brief, volunteer coordinator, time keeper, token sorting, pre-event close down & report writer!!! Not a bad list of jobs between 6 of us!

It was a lovely atmosphere at Parkrun as always and lovely to be around lots of other volunteers. It was a great turnout today, so plenty to keep us all busy with our various tasks! The rain stayed off too and a post volunteering coffee was enjoyed in the cafe afterwards!

Thanks for having us Crewe Parkrun, it's always a pleasure :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone and look forward to seeing you again soon :)

Lots of love, Nicola xxx
