Another year goes by and I now start prepping to leave my 30s behind!

After a very enjoyable Lakeside parkrun, with added bonus of seeing one of colleagues who retired last year doing her first parkrun.

We then enjoyed a swim and sauna at the newly reopened Lido. And shared coffee and doughnuts in the sun.

Finished off the celebrations watching some cricket in the sun with some beverages. Sadly this was cut short due to the weather taking a complete turn from blue skies to thundery downpours!!

On a sunny Sunday afternoon in Southsea, four Goodgym runners got together to go on a 5km shuffle around Southsea Common whilst spreading some good musical fitness vibes to the people of Southsea. It was a brilliant and bright afternoon (despite the usual wind!).

This was the first Sunday Shuffle to strictly follow the Goodgym rules (- naughty Andy!), and this also meant it was Andy's Run Leader assessment! He nominated Dave to take on back marker duties (thanks Dave!), but unfortunately he had naughty Jen keeping him on his toes by deciding today would be the day to run over all of the benches in Southsea! N.B. You take part at your own risk, Jen! This was also the first time that Andy met Nia, after previously only being involved in some virtual challenges together - as always with Goodgym, it was a pleasure.

Post-run we saw Sammy, who joined us during the cool down and helped us out by taking some photos (thanks Sammy!), and then we headed to the pier for an (almost) disastrous coffee-shop experience!

Has Andy passed?! Only time will tell.

Post junior parkrun litter pick around bransbury.

It was lovely to see Nia again and to meet the wonderful new mini!!

And we have picked the area to attack for next week!

We happily donated some essentials for Ukranians who are facing such harsh conditions.

We donated our unwanted bras to Against Cancer charity who will transform them into funds for vital research to beat cancer.

It was hard to give them up, but we gave some of our books to Tesco who will sell them and give the profits to the Fratton Together Food Pantry.

Andi had help from Little Miss who happily packed up a mini collection for other children to enjoy.
