Report written by Char Binns
15 runners, constant drizzle, a dark task and 5km of running; just another Autumn night at GoodGym Liverpool!
It looks like we're set to have the soggiest Autumn ever, yet a little damp weather doesn't stop the mighty GoodGym! The 15 strong team took the 2.5km run to Everton Park brow in their stride and were greeted with the last moments of dusk and a brilliant pink sky over the city.
Welcomed by John from Friends of Everton Park, he explained that his plan had been for us to count the street lights that were out. But sadly, it was actually easier to count the few that were still on. Divided into four fab teams, the crew headed off across the park, noting the good light numbers as they went.
In the lighter months, we spend every sixth week at Everton Park and to mark the end of the summer, this was part one of a double whammy to say farewell. Next week, we'll return with a slightly different task and the hope of better weather.
A big shout out and welcome to newbie Josh who did a fab job and easily kept pace. And welcome back to Basma, who has been away traveling for six weeks; so good to see you!
The plan had been for a steps and hills fitness session but the inclement weather had made it too slippery. Instead, we utilised a basketball court for a quite fartlek session before making the return run.
A big well done to everyone. Don't forget to send me the numbers for the lights and to bring your head torches again next week :)
P.S. Kudos to Tim for the run report pun.

Supporting a homelessness charity while having a great night out too!
