Wooohooo, we're back for Good(Gym)! 22 runners ran over 5km to redecorate Kenningston Adult Community Centre.

After 2 weeks off, it was great to be back to reconnect with familiar faces as well as to meet plenty of newbies. This was our second biggest Group Run to date, only beaten by our launch run, and it was fab to have such a big and enthusiastic team on board.

There was heaps of news to share before we started the warm-up and you can find info about the Liverpool Half Marathon, including the Saturday Community Mission, right here.

JANUARY CHALLENGE UPDATE We set ourselves the target of 130 good deed and 600km. You can see our progress and how we rate against the other GG branches here. Guess what? We just went top of our group leader board, but we can't rest on our laurels. Sign-up for your next Group Run here and make sure your Strava is linked to your GG account.

Back to the task.... We were warmly greeted at Kensington Community Learning Centre and given plastic pinnies, tins of paint, brushes and rollers. We had to play the game of "how many GoodGymers can you fit in a room" since the space was a little tight, but as usual, this mighty team made it work. After 30 minutes hard work, some of the team felt they could do more, so a Community Mission has been organised to go back and finish the job on Thursday evening.

This week's shout outs go to our enthusiastic newbies Sophie, Chris, Grace, Jessica and Jamie. We'd love you to run with us again soon. Also mega thanks to fab back-markers John and Christine. Plus a big-up to Rachael for pulling the plaster off!

A huge well done to everyone. It isn't easy to get back to it after a long break filled with cheese and mince pies, especially on a dark and windy night. You're all boss!

Until next week, happy running (track on Strava!!!) Char <3

P.S. I know the title pun is RUBBISH. Please help me next time :(
