Woking Report written by Woking runner

James and Laura joined me to go for a 7 kms run as our Group Run was cancelled again. Holly had a surprise birthday treat so could not join us and only two GoodGymers had initially signed up.

Despite the rain, the three of us met at the leisure centre and decided to do the David Lloyd Route with a twist: going along the Hoe instead of Westfield Avenue. Adam would join us later as he had been working late. We messaged him to keep him updated (as well as the whole Woking GG runners) but we could not see him.

To add to the adventure and to give Adam time to catch us up, James included some Fartlek training.

Then we convinced Lauren to do the loop a second time to give Adam time to meet us. This is when, along the Hoe, we saw many many toads on the path… James picked one up but neither Lauren nor I wanted to kiss it…

After all, it was a toad and not a frog, so no chance for it to turn into a beautiful prince. Finally, avoiding the crowd of toads and running a few miles, Adam joined us for our last long stretch of running.

Well done to Lauren who had trained a lot all week and finished this double circuit with a big smile. All good to get ready for the Brighton 10 kms in two weeks!

Bravo to James and Adam who ran the Surrey Half last week, to Wayne who cheered all the runners as I was volunteering at the finish line.

Best wishes to James who will take part in the Weymouth 10 kms on Sunday.

Next Wednesday we will meet at the Leisure Centre, then cycle or walk/run to Beaufort Primary School to do some gardening. See you then!

Next week we are heading to Beaufort Primary school. If you are wanting to ride your bike then please bring it along and I will put a route out for you to take which is longer than the run.

Lauren done a 6 month mission streak.

Lauren just completed a six month streak of doing missions. That’s so many bags of garden rubbish cleared and jobs done to help someone out and put a smile on their face. Give Lauren a cheer to encourage them to keep up the good work.

Sunny Junior parkrun 205

Woking Report written by Woking runner

Woking junior parkrun 205 on a sunny Sunday morning.

106 children took part in the Woking junior parkrun 205 and 5 GoodGymers: Anne, Eddie, Lauren, Richard and Victoria made their way to Woking Park to help this week’s run director: our very own James.

While warming up one of the young runners fell and grazed his knee. Anne distracted him while his Mum used her first aid skills to clean up the wound. All ended well and the little boy enthusiastically completed the 2 kms. He did not get a PB (because of his injury) but there is always the next time...

6 children were given a milestone wristband for their brilliant distance achievements. It is quite impressive to realise that little boys/girls not 10 yet have run more parkrun than some of us!

It felt like spring and the children seemed to fly past the marshals. 21 got a PB!

James, now better his injury, had run 11 kms with Rich A before preparing the course with Rich and Victoria Davis. Anne had managed 5 kms. Lauren, our session photographer, is training for the Brighton 10 Kms with her friend Tanya who volunteered today too. Eddie ran after helping this 205th session.

This Wednesday we will meet at 6pm at the Run Company to go plogging with them. We hope to see you there as the saying goes: the more, the merrier!

Have a great running week.

Ivy and Cake

Woking Report written by Holly

Birthday celebrations and clearing the Ivy were the top priorities of this evenings Group Task.

A Big Happy Birthday to Anne

Tonight's task involved clearing the front area of Brookwood Station which seemed to be taken over by Ivy. There were two pots which also needed some TLC. Last time we were at the station we had planted hundreds of bulbs so it was nice to see spring was finally making an appearance with the bulbs coming up. The two pots got face lift and a new colour to match the planters on the platform - blazing blue!

Two years ago the Ivy had been ripped off the walls and cleared - it was now time to do this job again as it was starting to take over plants and the walls once again.

As I adopted Brookwood station to help involve GoodGym with the volunteer work - we have managed to plant new plants out the front and tidy up the containers on the platform. The next task will be to plant some wild seed mix out the front of the station to help add some colour to the entrance of the station.

A big thank you to Anne who brought along some sweet treats for us for her Birthday. Colin and Rosie the Caterpillars went down well. It was also nice to see Kirsty back again - hope you will be back for some more GG action!

Also a big well done to the GoodGym ladies and Adam who ran the 7km from Woking Town. This was Lauren longest run - so an awesome effort by all!

Thank you to everyone who came along tonight - it makes the job get completed a lot quicker!

Interested in entering any events: Then a few members are signed up to the Surrey Half - 5km and 21km - happening in March There are also a few signed up to the Lions Martian event this happens in June. Next weekend I will be going along to Brutal event Chawton and racing the canicross event with Jack.

Next week

Will be at 6pm and GoodGym will be joining the run company for the litter pick.
