Wow Wow Wowzer !

Where do I start with reporting tonight's task,run and all round GG feelgood vibe . It was such an all round happy one.

There are so many people to mention tonight ,but wait! I'm forgetting my manners ! GG Worthing was delighted to welcome Steph from GG HQ who was on a day trip to Worthing to meet with our nominated charity Guildcare in the pursuit of helping lonely and isolated old people locally.

Can we all give Belinda a massive GG CHEER who achieved a PB at park run Worthing on Saturday. A great example of how Park Run and GG work so well in partnership together.

Also a special mention to Duncan and Beth who were new members this week . Team red !

This evening we met with our friends John from The Conservation Volunteers and park ranger Keith to embark on path sweeping of Beach House Grounds to help ensure they are ready for the bowls season together with the eagerly pursued green flag award. Brand new brooms meant magical powers with sweeping.

We then headed down for an idyllic beach run with a setting sun , lowtide , rising moon and horses. Ed was on photo duty and so nice to have Elisa back after her week off for Birthday celebrations.

Steph has now messaged GG central requesting a transfer to Sunny Worthing ! Yay !!!

We finished with a sprint training fitness session on the stones and another idyllic saunder back for stretches on the breakwaters at Splashpoint.

A clean sweep with Goodgym good clean fun!

Thanks everyone . you guys rock :)

Wow ! What an amazing vibe we had tonight with the launch of GoodGym Worthing.

Meeting at our new weekly home ,Splashpoint Leisure Centre , we were delighted to see so many local dignitaries , Adur -Worthing officers and councillors putting their weight and presence behind such an amazing concept.

After a welcome from Val Turner,Councillor for Wellbeing and Ivo Gormley founder of GoodGym, together with plenty of professional and personal photos taken, the trusty and newly formed GoodGym Worthing runners set off along the prom with near perfect weather conditions and the bonus of a wonderful ,warm Worthing sunset.

We arrived at Victoria Park a short time later to a welcoming committee who were a sight for sore eyes! The Conservation Volunteers ,Park Rangers together with Friends of Victoria Park were cheering us on and even offering platters of sliced fresh oranges reminiscent of hockey and football half time treats.

With a swift safety briefing from our friendly Park Rangers, GoodGymers picked up their tools and headtorches and pioneered their first task for an incredibly rewarding and productive 30 minutes of 'raking the dead' , 'sweeping up appearances' and 'pruning everything but the kitchen sink ' There were mutters of 'this is very therapeutic' together with other great banter from all concerned as we carried out the task. Please accept a GoodGym BIG CHEER to all of you! After waving a typically warm GG goodbye we headed back to the seafront where, under the light of the moon, there was the choice of either a steady run or 'licence to sprint' lamp post training.

We stopped briefly for a ' before you can say jack crocodile' fitness session followed by an easy run back to base for stretches and an interactive QA session.

Next week we already have the promise of cup cakes from GGWorthing Martin's amazing Mum , for after the session, so sign up now for the ' Sunset run and beach clean task.,,,,and cake eating!
