In a change to the advertised plan, our fearless 15 ran through a sweltering hot evening to tidying up grassy open spaces in the L8 area of the city.

In just 25 minutes, at least 12 bin bags of litter was collected as our team turned rubbish laden landscapes into safe havens for play. Amongst the usual offenders - fast food containers, beer cans, chocolate bar wrappers - the most interesting find of the evening was a small plastic Christmas tree!

Shout outs go to lovely newbies Natalie and Luke who got stuck in and easily kept pace on the run. And it was great to be joined by Kirsty who has left behind GG Hackney to enjoy the fresh air of lovely Liverpool (clearly their loss is our gain).

After the task, we ran to Princes Park where we did a quick fitness session to improve agility and speed. We then enjoyed a quick jog around the pond (where swans and cygnets were sunbathing in the evening light) before sprinting up the Princes Park Parkrun home straight to try for a PB on the Strava segment. Although it was just 2km back to base, the stuffy conditions made it hard going, but this dream team know how to WERK. Another brilliant results for all :)

Next week we have a brand new task and a bit of Beatles tourism to boot, when we'll be helping to dig over the garden at Penny Lane Development Trust. So come on you egg men, get signing-up. Coo-coo-ki-choo!

See you then, Char
