Our nifty nine (quietly) tidied up the front drive and back garden at brilliant cancer support centre Sunflowers.

There was a little bit of drama on this week's Group Run when I lost part of the group! This is the first (and hopefully last) time this has ever happened. But while the speedy crew were busy sprinting the Princes Park Parkrun home straight, my steady-eddie group managed to take a short cut and bypass the rest of the team. All's well that ends well, and they actually beat the rest of the group to the task. And sure no worries, I deffo needed that extra 1.5km run as I went back and forth looking for my lost sheep ;)

At Sunflowers Cancer Care Centre we were met by Bobby who put the team to work on weeding and tidying tasks. As there was a meditation class taking place inside, this was our quietest task ever! Although we couldn't stay for as long as we'd have liked, the team worked hard and certainly left the place looking tidier than when we'd arrived.

Thankfully the return run was less eventful and we enjoyed the sun soaked views of Liverpool's impressive Anglican cathedral as we ran back towards the city.

This week's shout out goes to Sara who has quickly become a regular AND recruited two others (yay for Yan and Jess) to join our #RedThunder crew.

Well done on another excellent week everyone!

Next time we have another new task - we'll be at the Liverpool Irish Centre for some more gardening action. Sign-up here and don't forget to bring your gloves.

Until then, happy running, Char <3
