Another dark, damp January evening and another group of unstoppable runners hit the streets of Liverpool on a mission to get fit and do good.

After a busy weekend of doing good (yes that is lil'ole GG Liverpool in third place in the January Challenge) a huge group of 23 runners still came out for our weekly Group Run. It was all down hill as we dodged pedestrians on a rare run through the city centre and we soon arrived at the Scope shop.

Warmly greeted, we split into two groups - one on the shop floor and the other in the stock room downstairs. The team was put to work across a variety of tasks including stock check, sorting books and flip flops, tagging and steaming. Meanwhile, Becky S. and Emma took the middle ground, sweeping and mopping a staircase that looked long overdue a deep clean.

A big shout out and welcome to newbie Mike who did a great job - come run with us again soon! And thanks to Molly and Baptiste for recruiting Mike :)

Having completed LOADS of tasks for Scope AND finding time to take some silly photos, we headed to nearby Derby Square for a fun fitness session. The way home was all up hill, but everyone dug deep. One passerby suggested that we were a group of new year's resolution runners and would be quitting soon - if only he knew! The numbers speak for themselves: we now have 11 runners in the Black t-shirt crew :)

If you can't wait until next week, we've got LOADS lined-up for this week, so sign-up here and bring a friend!
