Eimear On The Steamer & The Tag Team
23 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Scope in Liverpool.

Another dark, damp January evening and another group of unstoppable runners hit the streets of Liverpool on a mission to get fit and do good.
After a busy weekend of doing good (yes that is lil'ole GG Liverpool in third place in the January Challenge) a huge group of 23 runners still came out for our weekly Group Run. It was all down hill as we dodged pedestrians on a rare run through the city centre and we soon arrived at the Scope shop.
Warmly greeted, we split into two groups - one on the shop floor and the other in the stock room downstairs. The team was put to work across a variety of tasks including stock check, sorting books and flip flops, tagging and steaming. Meanwhile, Becky S. and Emma took the middle ground, sweeping and mopping a staircase that looked long overdue a deep clean.
A big shout out and welcome to newbie Mike who did a great job - come run with us again soon! And thanks to Molly and Baptiste for recruiting Mike :)
Having completed LOADS of tasks for Scope AND finding time to take some silly photos, we headed to nearby Derby Square for a fun fitness session. The way home was all up hill, but everyone dug deep. One passerby suggested that we were a group of new year's resolution runners and would be quitting soon - if only he knew! The numbers speak for themselves: we now have 11 runners in the Black t-shirt crew :)
If you can't wait until next week, we've got LOADS lined-up for this week, so sign-up here and bring a friend!
