It was great to have Joshua finally able to join us after two inner tube incidents the previous two weeks - welcome, melon specialist!

We were due to be helping the the preparations for St Werburgh's Community Centre's Party in the Park but they weren't as far forward in the planning as they'd hoped so instead we tidied around the building and watered the plants plus testing the really-quite-narrow slide. The plant room itself was found but kept safe...

This is one of our longer walk/runs, so it was soon time for the walking group to set off, managing to get to Castle Park before the runners caught up, allowing a photo opportunity of the runners feeling the need to keep running uphill - very impressive.

Leaflets promoting the Party in the Park were distributed to shops on the way back with some more left with GoodGym locals to drop into more places over the next couple of days.

Back at Workout, we returned to last week's thrilling game of "guess Mariannes middle names" relying on the underrated strategy of knowing the last letter was in the second half if the alphabet. We eventually succeeded, but we're keeping it a secret. One middle name to go, the excitement is already at fever pitch.
