As I was in Liverpool for a Movember half marathon, decided that I could add and extra Goodgym area to my portfolio. So Liverpool is my 18th Goodgym area that I have completed either a community mission or a mission at an elderly ot isolated person. After my race and a bit of sight seeing I went to Mr N house to tidy his garden and trim bushes/trees. On arrival, his small bulldog kept barking but was harmless. Mr N didnt have any tools, but I caught do with pulling dead branches and weed. I asked if he had anything to cut the branches and came back with a small saw which I made most of it. So armed with a saw, a wooden plank and brut force, I was able to cut bushes, trees, pick rubbish left by storm Claudia and remove moss(with the plank). He then came with a strimmer which I used to trimm the grass near his entrance. With hardly any tools I was able to achieve a lot and Mr N was happy amd overwhelmed as found out I was a volunteer with out being paid to help out.

Thursday evening : Guide runners and runners met at Maida Vale Underground station to head off in a group to Paddington Rec Track. As the clocks changed time recently, the evenings are dark so ain't no sunshine and it started to drizzle. This did not stop anyone from running and chatting. Veronika guided Janice, Lucy guided Mark and I, Steph Ducat guided the other Mark. Different paces and mileage based on the runners requirements. Janice and Mark ran roughly 35 - 45 minutes with Lucy and Veronika. I ran with Mark who wanted to come back strong as was off a few weeks,. We completed over 10km on the track with Mark. We were all soaked at the end of the session as the rain just kept coming down and the drizzle of the start disappeared. Great session with a good turn up despite the rain.
