On a particularly humid Monday, a crew of Liverpool Good Gymers headed to The Greenhouse Community Centre on Lodge Lane with the aim of doing some good! Heetu led the run from the suitcases with her usual enthusiasm, meeting others at the task. Sian even perserved with a broken single-pedal bike to get there on time!! We were all very excited to find out that this tasked marked 150(!!!) good deeds performed by Sally Ann!! A fantastic achievement, truly worth celebrating. So grateful and proud to have her as part of Good Gym Liverpool. Some of the team soon got stuck in weeding around the greenhouse centre whilst others started the arduous task of shoveling and transporting mulch to various areas around the building. By the end of the task a large part of the grounds was well-weeded and covered with an even level of mulch. Some of the team had also managed to litter pick the surrounding area, helped by Sam, a member of the local community. At the end of the session, the grounds were looking particularly tidy and we were all pleased to have helped out and had some exercise doing so. Well done to all.

It was a rainy morning, which might have put off some runners but not our intrepid GoodGym gang, we are far too focused on collecting stars for our parkrun loyalty cards to be deterred by weather. Bekah, Sian, Leo and Steph ran while Lucien watched the runners and the ducks and took photos. A big cheer to Leo for his first official parkrun, although certainly not his first park run! The rain was in fact a welcome relief compared to the hot sun of our June parkrun, although by the time we crossed the finish line it was muggy and humid. Unfortunately no one was able to join for our usual post-run breakfast today, but we look forward to the next one!

Our monthly Goodgym parkrun breakfast saw a bunch of smiling faces meeting up for our June session. It's a chance for people to meet up at parkrun or at breakfast afterwards or at both.

This month saw Amina, Bekah, Heetu, Jess, Leo, Sian and Steph running parkrun -all looking strong despite the exhausting heat. Lucien saw everyone in through the ever extending finishing tunnel (the number of runners are such that the walk from the finishing line to get to the tokens and scanning is long.... especially after a hot 5k run) . Jo and Sallyann were volunteering on the scanners. After the obligatory photos Amina headed home and the rest of us set off to have breakfast where Liam joined us. That's the beauty of the parkrun and breakfast it really is a chance to fit around your Saturday morning...Come along for whatever and whenever you want.

This month we went to the cafe Minna on Lark Lane for breakfast. Breakfast, which included some amazing colourful matcha drinks, did not disappoint. Over breakfast there was the very important task of applying the stickers to the loyalty cards (although don't forget there is also the mystery categories and who knows when they may just meet a category requirement).

With everyone's cards stickered up we headed off from Lark Lane to carry on our Saturday with that lovely feeling of time spent with a great bunch of people.
