14 bold runners managed not to get blown away in 45km/hr winds as they ran 3km to help a local charity shop.

This week GoodGym Liverpool smashed through the 1,500 good deeds barrier. In just 20 months, this dream team has clocked all of those good deeds by helping amazing organisations and scores of elderly people throughout the wider Liverpool area (and sometimes beyond!). This has been achieved by the combined efforts of 174 runners! Check out our stats page here for more.

This week's Group Run took us on a rare route through the city centre, dodging deliveries and heckles/encouragement as we went. The short run ended at the local charity shop for the national charity Scope. Our task was to sort through a mountain of winter wear bags, sorting, tagging and hanging the various jumpers, coats, trousers and hats. With first class team work, it was 40 minutes well spent and the manager of the shop was really pleased with the results.

This week's special shout out goes to Christine who is getting married THIS Saturday - congrats lovely!

After we'd finished at the task we tackled the hilly route home and enjoyed some walking lunges down the back streets.

Thanks again to everyone who came out on such a windy, dark night. Only the brave run at this time of year and you are all heroes to me.

Next week is one of our last outdoor tasks of the year, when we go competitive flyering in Kenny. Wrap up warm folks and let me know you're coming here.
