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 👏🏽.

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 😀

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 🏃🏽‍♀️

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 🏃🏼‍♀️. 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 🙆‍♀️ 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. 🏃🏻‍♂️

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 😀

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 👏🏽

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 😀
