The January Challenge might be over but 12 fierce runners said, "February: Game On!" with a 7km run to help at Harthill Youth Club.

Liverpool has some of the highest rates in England of young people who aren't in education, employment or training. As such, at GoodGym Liverpool we enjoy supporting the city's under-resourced but much needed youth centres. We've been to Harthill Youth Club a number of times before and they always welcome us with open arms, juice and tonight - with toast!

Tonight's task involved transforming a powerful purple into a white washed blank canvas, in advance of the room becoming a performance space. There was also some cleaning to be done. Everyone got involved straight away, with some of the team keen to dress up as extras in CSI Liverpool in their white overalls.

As the team painted, they were accompanied by a backing track of band practice in the room next door. Kudos to George who was inspired by said music to come up with this week's title pun.

A big shout out this week to GG Liverpool's Godmother Pauline who was rocking her 50 good deeds black t-shirt for the first time tonight (she's the first of our team to earn one). We are going to miss Pauline enormously while she's away for the next 6 weeks but are looking forward to hearing all about her adventures.

Also kudos to newbie [Dominic])https://www.goodgym.org/runners/dominic-warren) who did great in spite of just returning to running after an injury. We'd be happy to have you run with us any time Dom!

On the way back we were making good time so we stopped in the park to play a little game of knee tag. It was a new one on the team... and received mixed reviews!

Fantastic work as always team and really well done for beating these cold damp evenings by coming out and getting fit with the GoodGym crew.

Next week we have another indoor task and a very short run - so time to bring that friend who has been resisting until now! Find out more and sign-up here.
