There was a very good turn-out today from GoodGym for Havant parkrun with a mix of runners and volunteers all helping to put GG Portsmouth on the Havant map. Well done everyone.

Every week at parkrun we hear the Run Director saying your PB can wait for another week and to stop and help fellow runners. I was surprised to see a fellow GG’er being helped back to her feet on the first lap. Poor Nia had taken a tumble and sustained cuts to her hands and knees. We walked back to the start where Dave took over with First-Aid and I completed my second lap. I hope you heal soon Nia.

Other than that it was a beautiful day for a run with a light breeze in all the right places. It was lovely to see everyone again. Thanks to Dave for the photos.

Big thanks to John and Dave for helping me after my tumble. Not quite how I was planning to promote GoodGym! My knees aren't quite so painful today so hopefully I'll heal soon and be back to conquer Havant parkrun!

Area Activator for GoodGym Portsmouth. I swear like a sailor, burp like a foghorn. Human A - Z of Portsmouth. Ultimately charming.
