Ta Mack for weeding me tarmac!

Liverpool Report written by Char Binns

The team did weedy well this week, when our super 17 runners tidied the playground at Liverpool's Methodist Youth Centre.

After a stormy day, the sun came out for GoodGym and the city's Georgian Quarter was glowing as we ran through it and on it to Toxteth. After just a 1.5km run the team was feeling fresh and ready to get stuck in. We were met by youth worker Spencer who showed us the overgrown outer areas of the building, before we sprang into action.

At the front of the building, Pauline, Sara and Richard made short work of weeding and clearing the area to create a far more welcoming entrance. While the rest of the team out back struggled to pull weeds out of old tarmac. Nevertheless, they persisted and the playground was left in a far better state than when we arrived.

There are loads of shout outs today, so bear with!

  • Shout out to Jackie, who came up with the Scouse-tastic title of tonight's run report. I was made up. Boss. Ta la ;)
  • Welcome to newbies Richard and Jo - you did great and are most welcome to run with us anytime!
  • Welcome back to Emma R. and A.J. - we've missed you, don't leave it so long next time please.
  • Hiiiiya and thanks for visiting to David and Caroline, visiting from GoodGym Sheffield. You've earned your Scout badges.

After the task, we ran to nearby Princes Park and enjoyed a quick fitness session looking at balance and using our legs in different ways. Mostly this involved joyful skipping!

Well done to the team for anther great week.

Next week we're heading to Sunflowers Cancer Care Centre to look after their garden area. It should be another really worthwhile task for a brilliant organisation. So sign-up!

Until then, happy running, Char <3

Ooh Aah Just A Litter Pick

Liverpool Report written by Char Binns

11 runners ran 4.7km to tidy up a community sports centre in Kensington.

On another blue-skied evening in Liverpool (no really!) our marvellous 11 ran the short stretch to Kensington. On route they tackled a previously unmentioned hill and barely even complained ;)

We quickly reached Jubilee Sports Bank where we were greeted by staff member Laura and a roll of bin bags. Gloves on and the team was ready to go, transforming an outside area by removing many bagsful of litter. In and amongst the plastic bottles and crisp wrappers, a few items of interest were found including a pair of shoes, a hoodie and what was almost certainly a burner phone!

Taking advantage of Jubilee Sports Banks lovely open playing field (sorry again to the hay fever sufferers) we had a slightly chaotic fun fitness session, (very) loosely based on the Eurovision Song Contest – go team Spain! – followed by some speed play.

On the downhill route home Tony led us on a scenic long-cut, rounding off a lovely evening.

Shout-outs go to first-timer AJ who kept the pace and got stuck in at the task, and to Colin for volunteering to be our trusty back-marker.

Next week is a longer run of 5km in both directions, but we're extending the session so that more runners can join us. We'll finish at 20:30 meaning that we have 2 hours to complete the run and the task, so if you're a newer runner but up for a challenge don't be put off by the distance. It would be great to have as many pairs of hands as possible as we'll be helping a brilliant community-led project called MyClubmoor. So get signing-up!

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Liverpool Rock’n’Roll Marathon and Half Marathon this weekend. If you're not running, come gives us a cheer #RedThunder.

See you next time, Char <3
