This evening we had a visit from two lovely BU journalism students who wanted to do a story on GoodGym as part of their studies, with a focus on online and social media. After some questions and a bit of a video interview it was time for the gang to do what they do best and that is doing good!

The YMCA had asked us to help spread the word about their facilities with some flyers.

Last time our trip was a little stop start with some houses not having access to their letterboxes etc.....this time we picked a different route and it was waaaaaaay better!

We ran 2.5km to our start location and then split up into two teams of 7....one group doing one loop and the other the opposite one.... the team of Andrew, Heather, Daniela, Claire, Mark, Sarah and myself won the first round convincingly....

Once the other team, made up of Aoife, Caprice, Daryl, Chris, Abi, Kristina and Nicola, realised it was a competition they stepped up their game...and promptly won the second round....

With not many leaflets left the race was on for the final loop....and yep Team amazing who had won the first round finished off victorious... We didn't rub it in too much on the way back and we're still all friends!!

Thank you Caprice for taking some extra photos. And thank you Daryl and Heather for back marking!

Well done to Neil and Heather on doing a mission this last weekend. Chris managed to join the sub 20 minute parkrun gang with an impressive 19:42 PB...now the next challenge starts! He even beat his GoodGym hill PB....and thought he was going slow....Neil you can't afford to miss any group runs anymore....

We are looking to run the Studland 10km this Sunday morning. Let us know if you'd like to join and we will car pool over.

Well done everyone!! Next week we are doing a littler pick!

Stay happy and be present!
