A litter pick full of questions today how much rubbish is hidden in the fallen leaves? Why do people prefer to lose their clothes in Milton Park? Is that a can in the hedge? Did this plastic ivy fly across from the bakery? Is this flower real? If dogs happily eat fox poo, will they eat the mushrooms in the park too?

We were a little bit late leaving Fratton Community Centre this evening after Jen and Dave got distracted by a community jigsaw in the foyer!

Our small but mighty team made a massive difference to the PARCS back garden - take a look at the before and after photos!

We made friends with some local snails, one even joined Jen for about twenty minutes on her running leggings.

Special thanks to Lucy and Nia for signing up last minute and helping us out - we were able to finish our task ahead of time!

Laura, Nia, Nick and I went to Milton Park for a lunchtime litterpick. It was great to get away from our desks and clean up the park. We had a good haul and of course found some clothing, this time a pair of black leggings!

After a thwarted attempt last week, six GoodGymers made their way through the mean streets of Portsmouth to take down flyers for Portsmouth City Council.

The Council have started using reusable cable ties for posters in the city, so to keep things GoodGym and Green, we used our session to remove them and return them to stop them being mistaken for single use plastic.

As the evening was very muggy, we enjoyed a stroll with a cheeky drink stop halfway. The barkeep who served us was fascinated by the GG shirts, so we gave her a pitch and hopefully we'll see her at a session soon!

We also enjoyed some exercise on GoodGym Portsmouth's very own Angela Chick's pavement mural in the city centre, and tried out the PLAYCE exercise space in Landport on our travels.

Judy's various attempts to say "cable ties" has certainly been one of my highlights this evening... "table pies" being my very favourite.

Thanks to Lorna, Nia and Dave for helping fill the volunteer roster for my RD Shift today. The other Run Directors are always jealous of the GoodGym support!

Lorna and Nia took on marshalling duties, whilst Dave helped out at the end with barcode scanning. We celebrated seven first-timers to Eastney and eight new PBs in our field of 47 runners so an epic morning!

Thanks for helping out, and if anyone wants to come along next week I am RD again!
