Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Char Binns
Our excellent 18 ran nearly 8km, saw every red light in Liverpool and helped out at The Rotunda.
After a cloud morning in Liverpool, the skies cleared just in time for GoodGym. After all, the sun always shines on GoodGym*. It was the first time that we'd helped out at The Rotunda, a great charity and community hub in North Liverpool. But since we'd not run that route before, we also didn't know just how many red lights we might encounter. Without fail, at each and every crossing the lights matched our t-shirts.
Once we were finally there, we were greeted warmly with cups of water and given instructions for a weeding task to tidy up the front of the centre. The team made quick work of the task, weeding, sweeping down the steps and even doing a little litter-picking until the place was spit and span.
Loads of shout outs tonight. First of all welcome and we loved having you, to 3 newbies: Ben, Lisa and Jak - you rocked it!
Shout out to Yan who has been working overseas for 6 weeks - we are so glad to have you back!
And the biggest shout of all, to our grand matriarch Pauline, who became the first GG Liverpool member to hit a mighty 100 good deeds. Well done Pauline, you're an inspiration to all of us!
Given how quickly we completed the task, I decided we should have a little fun and played a quick round of "the best runners...". Then changed the route home in an attempt to avoid traffic lights, It seemed to be working until we hit the city centre. And then... red, red, red, red! I'm so sorry for getting you back to base a little late dear team.
Great running everyone, you hit nearly 8km tonight - that's boss!
Next week we have another new task and it is a little bit different.... find out more and sign-up here.
