GoodGym winged runner arrives on the South Coast
On a sunny and blustery evening in Costa del Worthing we were delighted to welcome Debs from Bristol who wore her much sought after 50 task, black t shirt. She confided in us that she also has a 100 task winged version that is kept tucked away for extra special occasions. I can't wait to see one of these!
Massive GG cheer to you lovely lady for your fun and dedication supporting us today, and Brighton on their launch tomorrow.We hope you enjoyed your GG south coast experience notching up some more good deeds to your ever expanding portfolio.
Victorious in Victoria Park
After an extended relaxed warm up run my elite team arrived in one of our local community parks where we returned to the site of our first ever GG task known as the 'Winter garden' Since we last visited in March this area has developed a wild side and needed a lot of taming this evening. Our friendly park ranger Duncan was there to guide and support us with our task.
It was lovely to have Belinda back this evening with her smile and energy and getting right into the heart of the task getting covered in debris too. Special mention to Gill too who is carrying a niggly ankle injury but still turned out this evening.
As ever, the amount of work achieved in such a short amount of time was truly miraculous .You all had your wings on this evening.
Try try try again Rafa
As a fun fitness session we introduced a rugby ball into the mix this evening. With it came running, sprinting,jumping and passing drills led by head coach Nick .Watch this space as a new breed of British Lionesses' may have been made tonight!
Should I mention that for some this was the first time they had held this strange shaped ball ? Nooo way !
Queen of the multi tasking was Beth with a wonderful synergy of rugby, running,taking photos and providing live updates on the progress of the one and only Mr Nadal, Sadly for Beth but happily for Murray and Muller fans it was the wrong result but wait ! Weren't we all taught that its not the winning its the taking part that counts !?
Seas The Day
It would have been rude not to have shown Debs our lovely view of the sea and pier on the way back to base so after a scenic coastal route we finished up with tricep dips ,stretches , updates and farewells.
Thank you for another very happy Monday you wonderful people.
A massive GoodGym Worthing heart coated cheer to you all

Was great to meet and spend two GG evenings with you Debs, glad you enjoyed your time down here! Hope you had a good run in Colchester Belinda, my mate goes there and has said they're very lovely and welcoming. And Julia "Weren't we all taught that its not the winning its the taking part that counts !?" - haha nope, NEVER!! Especially not when Rafa is involved!
