A fearless five faced the feisty fickle elements to go back to our roots this evening

Massive kudos to my intrepid GG runners tonight . Despite windy, wet and quite extreme coastal conditions 5 of us ran back to the scene of our first ever Worthing GoodGym task in Victoria Park to give some GG energy and gardening makeover skills to an overgrown area that has plans to be transformed into a grass area with a park bench for relaxing and enjoying a tranquil park feel.

There was news to catch up on whilst we weeded , hoed and pruned under the careful supervision of Keith our regular Park Ranger. It always is a great surprise to me every week just how much can be achieved when a small group work together with such enthusiasm and natural gardening skills!However although fairly sheltered it was damp and drippy under the trees. Beth takes the extra Kudos for her elf like 100% rain absorbent hoodie she was modelling tonight!

Massive GG cheers to the following

• Michelle for completing an ultra 35 mile run from London towards Brighton on 27th May
• Beth for getting a Park run PB in Worthing on Saturday followed by a great time at Worthing 10 k on Sunday followed by a game of tennis. Nutter!
• Gill for doing 17 miles on Friday in preparation for the Lunartic marathon followed by the Worthing 10 k on Sunday.
• Karina for her her continuing commitment to her fitness including running to the start today and for encouraging her son and husband to join us to take photos

** A change of plan running back **

I had planned that we would run back along the seafront to compete some much loved lamp post interval training. However bearing in mind we couldn't stand up when we got to the prom we adopted plan B and did a steady run back through the deserted precinct back to base,

Your commitment totally rocked tonight ! Thanks so much to you all.

Much GG Love :)
