Ta Mack for weeding me tarmac!

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
