This morning at Hornfair Junior Parkrun was cold, wet, and wonderfully grounding.
Wrapped up warm on a freezing, rain-soaked morning, we gathered once again to support our brilliant junior runners. The weather kept numbers low — in fact, there were more volunteers than runners today — but somehow that made it feel even more special. A small but mighty community, choosing to show up for each other despite the chill.
For me, this morning quietly marked something meaningful: my 100th GoodGym deed. And, almost unbelievably, it’s been exactly one year since I completed my very first good deed. It doesn’t feel that long ago that I nervously turned up for the first time. Since then, week by week, task by task, those small acts have added up.
Two wonderful GoodGymers joined the regular Hornfair volunteer team today, bringing warmth and encouragement that no weather could dampen. The juniors who came out ran with determination, and as always, reminded us why we do this.
Days like today aren’t about big numbers or perfect conditions. They’re about consistency. About community. About choosing to serve, even when it’s cold and raining.
One year. 100 deeds. Countless moments of connection.
Grateful for every single one.
One hundred deeds down, countless more to go. The journey continues — here’s to many more deeds, smiles, and muddy trainers ahead! 🥳 Hep Hep! Hooray!

This is a brilliant weekly 5k event run entirely by volunteers. Parkrun only happens when enough people step forward to help, so let’s show them the GoodGym spirit!
