Kirstyโ€™s 50th Good Deed ๐ŸŽ‰

Sunday 3rd November

Written by Alys Penfold

Over 100 children took to Woking park this morning for their weekly run fix. Four GoodGym members were present to help out - Kirsty was a marshal, Alys barcode scanned & James and Adam were cheerleaders after a 5k run ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Congratulations to Kirsty who with todayโ€™s task has achieved her 50th good deed which she has been very keen to reach! Sheโ€™ll now be able to get her black GG t-shirt. It was also Alys 90th task - 10 to go until she gets her wings! ๐Ÿชฝ

We were still raising awareness of womenโ€™s safety on this Sunday morning - Alys made sure to wear her #ThisGirlCan t-shirt and we had a couple of great conversations about #LetsLiftTheCurfew.

Please note Junior parkrun is cancelled next week following the fireworks. Join us this coming Wednesday for another training run!

Alys The Hero

Sunday 27th October

Written by Alys Penfold

140 children took to Woking park on this sunny Sunday! There were lots of children taking part for the first time, and five children earned their wristbands. ๐Ÿ˜€

Alys was timekeeper (always a challenging role!) whilst Rich did a great job tail walking.

There were lots of new faces volunteering this week too, mostly due to many taking part in the Polesdon Lacey 10k today - good luck to you all & hope you had fun! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Woking Junior parkrun is always in need of volunteers, so do offer up your time if you can for a future Sunday!

Wet & Windy Junior Park Run

Sunday 20th October

Junior Park Run

It was a wet & windy junior park run this morning ๐ŸŒง๏ธ but that did not stop Wayne & Anne to get up and volunteer as marshals.

It was a special junior park run this morning with run director Terry-Ann stepping down after nearly 8 years ๐Ÿ˜ข. Terry-Ann got junior park run up & running in Woking all those years ago seeing many of the young runners from the early days still running. It was an emotional morning with a great turn out.

In total there were 108 runners tackling the 2k course with the fastest time being an impressive 07:59. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ There were also 39 PB's great running by everyone. ๐Ÿ˜€

This Wednesday Anne has put on a training session meeting at the Park ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

GoodGymer James saves the day!

Sunday 6th October

Written by Woking runner

Anne was surprised to meet Jamesโ€‹ in Woking park. He had not signed up to help this morning as he needed a rest after all his runs and volunteering during the week.

However, soon I discovered that James was a the hero of the day. The junior parkrun director's key did not open the padlock of the pavilion (where all the equipment is stored). It appeared that the council had changed the padlock, but forgot to keep juniorparkrun informed.

James has, on several occasions, organised for GG Woking to spread mulch in the woods to facilitate the weekly parkrun. Thanks to this involvement with the council as a GoodGymer, he was, then, given a "good" key. When the RD messaged James for help, he did not hesitate to run and help!

All in all, we are very lucky to have James on board!

We marshalled for this week's junior parkrun, cheering all 119 children who ran/walked the loops.

Next week, we will meet on Thursday (not Wednesday) at the Leisure Centre from where we will run to the Food Bank to do our monthly deep clean.

Happy running to you all.

Big well done to our Anne who took part and completed the Windsor Womens 10k in a fantastic time ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

On this cold and brisk morning Wayne, Adam, Alys, & James were up early to carry out various roles at the junior park run.

James was the run director today. It was great seeing Alys who has been very busy with wedding plans ๐Ÿ’’. Adam looked very smart this morning as he was heading straight into London after to catch up with friends ๐Ÿ˜€

So this morning we had 127 runners brave the cold with the fastest time being a fantastic 07:25. In total there were 67 PB's great running by everyone ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Next Wednesday we are doing a litter pick run meeting at Woking Leisure Centre.

Do not forget your head torches ๐Ÿ˜€
