Brush Strokes

Tonight we headed back to continue painting the fence at English Martyrs school. After several cancellations the task is definitely one that has become one that we are determined to finish before the winter months kick in.

We warmly welcomed Rebecca from Woking to our group. Becky is also a friend of our very own Daisy and also GoodGym trustee so was interested to find out what happens on the sunny south coast. It was also really interesting to hear how Woking works being volunteer led (rather than area activator led like we have in Worthing)

Joining the team tonight was alsoSarah, John, Barbara, Roxy Gillybean plus Daisy too !

Injured Gill 😪 headed off to do a bit of pruning that she had spotted needing doing last time we were there ( Gill does love her pruning ! ) John cracked on with the painting whilst the rest of us headed off for some fitness.

We combined running and sprinting around the school playing field with some functional fitness moves including squats, lunges , the dreaded burpees 🤣 shuttle runs and frog jumps. Shout out to Becky who had done the Dawny Lake triathlon yesterday and who was somewhat hobbling today but still persisted 👏

We managed to finish one big chunk of fence but there is still plenty more to do . I'm looking at a few more dates to fit in the before the light goes at the end of October - watch this space.

If you fancy a chatty social 8k this Sunday we will meet at Sea Lane cafe at 9am. All welcome including bikes and dogs. The emphasis will be on chatting not running ! I will send you all more details via the whats app group together with a link to sign up.

I'm looking forward to catching up with you all again soon - if you hear of any groups or see any tasks that need doing then please do contact me.

Thanks everyone !

Big GoodGym love

Making a splash ( not )

Without Sarah there tonight 😪 we all survived painting the forest green fence without the usual splattering 🤣

It was a beautiful sunny September evening and we had a great chat !
