Woking Report written by Woking runner
Winter time approaches, and it is not always possible to find tasks for the team. So this week, we decided to run for the fun of being together in the rain... Adam, Agathe, Alys, Kirsty, Nadia and Anne were joined by Rich, our honorary GoodGymer and photographer extraordinaire!
We had another very special guest: Rocket! Rocket may soon become our GG's mascot, he is so good at running with us. He makes weird noises (sorry, I do not speak dog language) to encourage us to be faster or to keep going up the hills. Thank you Rocket.
Unfortunately, Adam had to stop as his leg was starting to be painful. But instead of running the 7 kms to St John's Village and back, he went to the gym to exercise. We hope your leg gets better soon Adam.
Tonight's route was hilly at different stages, but we managed: it was good practice for Saturday's parkrun in Ottershaw or any other race coming up this month. The rain was appreciated by most of us: it felt cool and refreshing. Not that we want it every time we are out though...
Tomorrow some of us will take part in the event "Working Together For Woking" when we will promote all the benefits GoodGym brings to both the runners and the community. We will report back, no worries!
Will you be joining us on Sunday to support Woking junior parkrun?
In the meantime, happy running to you all.

A big congratulations to Wayne who was nominated by his fellow goodgymers for his contribution to GG Woking. His commitment to welcoming newcomers getting them involved straight away and strengthening the social circles within Goodgym Woking ๐๐ฝ.
A big welcome to Sarah who joined us this evening. Sarah had heard of Woking GG from a friend who is also a member of Richmong GG. Great to have you with Woking Sarah ๐
Tonights 7k run was in support of #thisgirlcan campaign. This initiative aims to address the concerns by calling for a safer and more inclusive experience for all Women when getting active outdoors after dark. Making women feel safer while they carry out the exercise routines. #letsliftthecurfew ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Anne had planned a fantastic 7k route around Woking. We had a great turn out for this initiative. Amongst the 6 ladies we had 2 of Woking GG's 3 Males Wayne & James both run leaders supporting the ladies. It was great to have Agathe join us for her first run ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ. It was also great to see regulars Katie, Alys, Kirsty & Nadia.
We all met at Woking leisure center. We welcomed Sarah to the group by carrying out introductions before Anne took us through a fantastic warm up stretching routine ๐โโ๏ธ Switch on our torches and off we went. While running we all got chatting about how running in the darker evenings really does impact womens exercise and how this campaign can highlight this by making men aware of this. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Nadia mentioned how since joining Goodgym her running has come on leaps & bounds and how much she is enjoing it especially running with a group Agathe also said something similar how running with a group pushes her and makes her want to run, which was great to hear ๐
Everyone did so well last night especially Sarah & Agathe, & Alys to complete the 7k run. We got back to the leisure center where Anne carried out a cool down post run stretching routine ๐๐ฝ
This Sunday Junior Park Run is on and they are looking fir volunteers to help out.
Have a great rest of the week & keep running ๐

GG Woking 7th Birthday
This evening GG Woking members celebrated 7 years of Woking GG.
Wayne, Nadia, Kirsty, Alys, Agathe, Katie, Anne, & Adam put on their finest clobber and met at Leens Lebanese Cuisine. ๐
Its been a year of transition for Woking GG without an area activator we are now run by ourselfs our run leaders & taskforce make Woking GG what it is today ๐
Many Woking GG members who joined were not keen runners but over the years with different tasks and different distances we now have fantastic runners, marathon 5k park runners to Marathon runners. We still have our Anne who was their from the start when Woking GG launched and is still going strong ๐โโ๏ธ
This year we have had Nadia join us who is now Taskforce and an important member of the team. Kirsty who is one good deed away from 50 has also got back into running and has signed up to a few up & coming races. Alys has done so many park runs this year all over the country and has set herself bigger targets next year. Katie has also been doing some great running this year. Adam after his recent injury is getting back to full fitness & as for myself i am trying to stay injury free buy managing my runs.
Tonight was a fun evening and it was a shame not everyone could make it. The manger at Leens was great taking photos and giving us recommendations of what to eat.
Food was great, company was fantastic. ๐
