Despite the heavy traffic around Leicester tonight, Goodgym had a fantastic turnout with over 12 runners. Great to have Irene and Sharon back for their third week.

Mel was proudly wearing her new black Goodgym tee shirt to celebrate her completion of over 50 tasks.

With Dave leading and Jimmy tail running the group headed off past the University to the SCOPE charity shop in Belvoir street.

On arrival we were greeted by Liam who showed us what our task was tonight. Mel, Irene and Jeanette met us at the venue.

It was very cosy in the basement of the SCOPE shop sorting out the summer clothing items into categories ready to be stored for the winter. As hard as it is, it seems the long summer months we have enjoyed have come to an end.

After 30 minutes the Goodgymers had sorted, bagged and labeled 30 bags full from children's clothes to hats and accessories which gave cause for a few fun photos tonight.

Liam thanked us for our efforts and remarked that our previous task had had a massive impact in helping the staff with the job of sorting. We did even more this time!

The runners next headed off for a hill relay session on New Walk, this proved quite a challenge due to the amount of illegal cyclists treating New Walk like a race track.

Nevertheless another successful night ending with a cool down, stretch and a chat about next weeks task.
