We may have run past it countless times but sometimes we just don't actually see what is right in front of us!

This week we challenged the Goodgym Runners to get out and see what is about them whilst on their usual run.

Elizabeth on VE day fittingly looked to find the War Memorial, only to discover she ran past the entrance to it frequently. Ali kept the theme of VE day going with a very pretty display for VE day including Winston. Jane took a pic of a plaque on the museum that she had never noticed before about Poole Flying Boats. Nicola explored the quay and noticed a plaque given by the US Coast Guard. Me - Yep - Esther took to the back of my house with the kids and was helped to spot burrows in the tree roots! Hilary was also given a helping hend by being shown all the bluebells at the back of Pamphill church! Patricia pointed out that a well known plaque in Poole Park was actually a load of pictures put together by locals - Including some Goodgym runners!
Shelley took to a runners favourite place in Happy Bottom (yep!) and rediscovered how beautiful it really is if you just stop and look around you.

Great to see the pics this week - Well done everyone!
