Today saw 7 goodgymers get up early and head to encourage the next runners at junior parkrun.

We saw a great 152 out today, as we cheered, high fived, handed out finish tokens and scanned those barcodes.

A total of 25 new PBs, and a great 16 first timers.

Now to warm up with a coffee...

A late call out for one of our schools, wanting help with decorating. And so, we answered the call.

Seeing as it was in a school, it only seemed right to teach the next goodgymers of Cardiff how it's done.

Lots of fun had by all, and smiles all round.

Our second week of litter picking, and it has to be said that Cardiff is looking good..... And not just because of goodgym.

Da iawn

Tonight four of us met to hit the City Centre and a popular cycle / walk route. We started with a nice catch up outside our meet point, and some great stories from the weekend. Then headed out for a walk along the route surveying the area, then time to turn around....

turn around bright eyes

And the litter pick began, an unknown competition was being held and judged by our designated bag holder..... We found the usual litter along the way (most in a car park), as well as bags of biscuits

Let's get ready to crumble

Was there a winner, of course, it's Cardiff. Always a winner when goodgym get out to do some good.

Due to injury our Activator was unable to run tonight, so we moved our meet up back to Sport Wales for a litter pick.

It really is a perfect start for a tidy up, there's a taxi drop off point, a coach stop and then all of the sport in the park. And with a little more walking, you get to a busy pathway.

There was plenty to pick, from getting in a bush or two to some fallen bollards (these did not fit in a bag so had to stay where they were).

After a good hour and a bit, we all returned to our meeting point for a photo and to put away our three heaving bags of rubbish.

On a crisp Sunday monring, goodgymers got together for another Junior Parkrun - a wonderful brisk task.

We cheered and clapped, encouragement at every 100m, a brilliant way to start the day and end the weekend.

Today we saw 194 young participants and there were 36 volunteers.
