Liverpool put on a lovely clear night for my last task with Good Gym Liverpool. I met Liam, Aatefa, Sophie and Steph at the suitcases. Steph, who is in the midst of half marathon training, was even mid long run. We cannot wait to hear how the race goes!

We enjoyed a lovely nearly 2km run to Princes park to meet the rest of the group. We were so impressed to see Dike who did not let running back to back marathons put him off joining the regular Monday night task! Well done Dike! 👏

Before we got started, Bekah said a lovely goodbye and I was given some very generous gifts from the team. I may have shed a few tears and had many bittersweet goodbye hugs.

Katy and Liz then gave us the briefing. Our goal was to revitalize a very muddy and slightly overgrown area of path near to the island. Armed with wheelbarrows, shovels and loppers, we headed down to get stuck in to the task, in true Good Gym form. Highlights included debating the difference between a shovel and a spade and seeing a frog! By the end of the hour we had cleared a whole lot of mud from the path and filled this in with overgrowth that others had cleared from nearby.

At the end of the task, some walked and some ran back to the suitcases where after a quick stretch, we headed to the pub. What followed was a lovely time catching up and chatting about how lovely it is to be a part of Good Gym Liverpool!

Thanks again to everyone for being a part of my journey and for the excellent send off!

Slip of the thumb sent my missive off incomplete... and you know how I like to make a report replete as much as a comment complete... so where was I... Moving on from GG Liverpool, Jessica, yet set to enjoy the treat of an alumnus looking on lovingly from yonder at such wonderful park upkeeping; gorgeously verdant Princes Park ne'er looked in such mint(er) green condition! I can FEEL the glow of good GG Liverpool folk shovelling away, popping here and brushing there, all hopping to the classic Goodgym beat of encouraging, nurturing and celebrating. And all these fine athletic achievements, longer distance endurance and shorter distance blasts - well done one and all. It lifts my soul to see your beavering! From Hackney / Tower Hamlets with ❤️ Dan X
