GG runners get movie'ing tonight

The evening started really well with the GoodGym troops falling in line for their Monday night training expedition.

Michelle and Roisin were there first closely followed by a last minute flurry of arrivals with newly joined up member Roxy ( yay! ) followed by time traveller Belinda then Duncan and lastly Gill sporting camauflage yet lit up headgear on her bike after an epic 27 mile marathon on Sunday.

Huge GG cheer and kudos to you Gill n your mouth to mouth event . Check out Gills journey on strava relive [(https://www.relive.cc/view/1300826467)]

Just as we were leaving Splashpoint I'm hoping that I may have a scored a new recruit who approached us for more information and left armed with my email address and promising to join us in January.

I must also mention our virtual attendee . Good evening Beth in London! WE MISS YOU and also Nick who took a man flu check on tonights adventure ( flu got to be joking Nick! )

We ran like Grease light'ning to the task

On a calm evening in sunny worthing we had a great run weaving through the streets and pausing for a great team photo outside Heene cemetery where we have done several tasks within the last few months.

The cast was there - Sandy'ing the doors

We were warmly welcomed by Andy at Kamelia kids and wasted no time in donning gloves and grabbing tools to continue where we left off last time sanding down doors ready for a lick of paint to brighten the nursery ready for the new year. My eyes wandered to the children's Santa post box and I wondered whether it was bigger or smaller than Beth and quite what antics she would have got up to had she been there!

Excellent Riz'ults - Everything was blue'terful

Covered in blue dust once again we waved a cheery farewell to Andy who sent me a text after we had gone saying

*A big thank you for all your help this year to you and the team *

Ahhhr ....Our pleasure ! We will return again next year to help our favourite special needs day nursery.

On yer bike ...Beat the bike Anderson

After a sociable run down to the seafront Duncan set off at a pace with Gill in hot pursuit on the bike. Michelle , Roxy and Roisin set about some of their own pace work and Belinda and I took a steady run back to Splashpoint. We all finished together with a quick warm down to make up the 6 miles.

Stretches followed before meeting new member Nicky for a quick chat and document check to enable her to do a coach run early in the new year.

These puns are no good for your elf

Thanks so much for all the puntastic help this week one and all

Remember next week we will meet at Worthing churches homeless 5 Byron Road,BN11 3HN at 6pm or as early as you can get there for our ready steady cooking task . We will then take a Christmas spectacular last run to a secret destination. Be prepared to be wowed!

Monday 18th is a run at 6pm from Splashpoint followed by our Christmas shin dig at Tex Mex, 187 Montague street BN11 3DA from 8pm onwards.

Please feel free to run / not run /eat / not eat / drink /not drink / just pop in/ stay all evening. It would be lovely to see you all.

An early Christmas star has appeared

I just wanted to end this weeks report with giving massive kudos , huge GG love and an enormous cheer to our very own Belinda who set herself a challenge of running a 10 k in December and who on day 4 totally smashed it ! Fantastic running B ! You are way better than you realise . Time to set yourself a new goal for 2018 ( I can help with that !! )

Have a great week and remember ... Keeeeeep Running !
