Dan Riley has done their first good deed with GoodGym.

Dan is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Bags of Energy!

Liverpool Report written by Char Binns

On a beautiful winter's evening, our super 17 ran nearly 5km to help Scope, the disability charity.

GoodGym Liverpool has been around for over ten months now, yet in all that time, we've never run through the city centre. Tonight was the night! With GoodGym red (ahem, Chinese New Year) lanterns hanging in the trees and the glass store fronts glowing, we enjoyed a rare treat of running through a pedestrianised area, rather than alongside busy roads amidst car fumes. Even with a few drunken cat calls, it was worth it to run in a totally new area.

We arrived at the Scope store and went through to the packed storeroom downstairs. The team got stuck in opening the newly arrived donations bags and sorting them in to bins marked with labels for each department of the shop. We managed to empty and repack around 30 bags in half an hour and the Scope team were really chuffed with our effort.

This week's shout outs go to newbies Dan and Claire. Plus a huge big up to Kike - visiting us from GG Islington - who clocked her 250th good deed tonight, wooooweee!

After the task we went for a run in another spot that we've never been to as a group before; down to the river at Mann Island. It is a beautiful spot packed with tourists during the day, but we had it nearly entirely to ourselves tonight. With the Three Graces buildings lit up in red, the group split in two with one group tackling the steps at the Museum of Liverpool and the other running drills along the docks.

The run back was short but all uphill. The whole team did great, gritty their teeth to the top. Well done everybody!

Next week we'll be delivering newsletter for Central Youth Club. Expect a steady run, a little bit of competitive leafleting and a fun fitness session. Sign up now :)

P.S. Kudos to Grace for the title pun!
