When other Parkruns around the country had to be cancelled due to the weather conditions, the Havant Parkrun went ahead, despite the muddy paths, slippery wet leaves and the wild wind.

And it was a milestone achievement for our GGer, Yvonne - her 100th occasion as a volunteer at Havant Parkrun - impressive!

Dave, Val and I joined Yvonne at her 'home' Parkrun - she congratulated the runners and dished out the tokens, Dave & Val were barcode-scanning, and I cheered on the runners at a muddy corner by the lake.

A good deed done supporting Parkrunners, to kick off our weekend.

Havant Parkrun is a green beauty - mature trees, shaded woodland, sculpture... Even the subway under the main road has colourful Staunton-themed murals.

Yvonne marched round, Katie & Tony ran it, and Judy directed the traffic at the complex crossroads!

And the red GG t shirts made a bright impact!

There was a very good turn-out today from GoodGym for Havant parkrun with a mix of runners and volunteers all helping to put GG Portsmouth on the Havant map. Well done everyone.

Every week at parkrun we hear the Run Director saying your PB can wait for another week and to stop and help fellow runners. I was surprised to see a fellow GG’er being helped back to her feet on the first lap. Poor Nia had taken a tumble and sustained cuts to her hands and knees. We walked back to the start where Dave took over with First-Aid and I completed my second lap. I hope you heal soon Nia.

Other than that it was a beautiful day for a run with a light breeze in all the right places. It was lovely to see everyone again. Thanks to Dave for the photos.
