It's pom pom time...and it's a BIG ONE! GooooooOOOOOOOOOOO Team! 🚀🚀🚀

[Sqkr]

I chose the biggest pom pom picture I could (and badly photoshopped out the Getty watermark, that's dedication right there) because this weekend is the culmination of Abi's inaugural HU Half Marathon plan! WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!

SO *drumroll*, in order of appearance in the calendar, shoogle those pom poms please for...

★ Pippa49 powering her way through the Weston Super Half westonsuperhalf.co.uk/

★ paul1960 turning up the thermostat on the Heaton 5K (see what I did there?) runheaton.com/

★ So good they named him twice! Macmac is running the Colchester Half colchesterhalfmarathon.co.uk/

★ A biggie on the south coast, with our forum superhero roseabi , MutleyShuffle pianoteacher and Runsome battling 1066 style with the Hastings half hastings-half.co.uk/

★ Showing everyone what snail's pace really is, Oldfloss is running the Monsal Trail half, and my goodness it looks beautiful nice-work.org.uk/races/the-...

★ herbie1966 is resplendently running the Resolution Run in Anglesey resolutionrun.org.uk/?gclid...

And last but most certainly not least...

★ linda9389 , boo19jul , Fun-free and LittleNell83 are doing a bit of sightseeing with the London Landmarks half! llhm.co.uk/

Oof! What a weekend. Run strong and happy, everyone! Looking forward to handing out some shiny new badges and reading all your reports 😄

Wow! Good luck everyone. I’ve been ‘poorly-bad’ this week so will be limiting myself to a gingerly jogged parkrun. But I’ll wave my virtual pom-poms for you all with as much strength as I can muster.

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon]

Wohoo indeed! Good Luck everyone 😁

Whatever happens during my run on Sunday I just want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for these wonderful forums. I feel very lucky to have happened across them last April when panicking about the need for me to run a mile and a half. Through 5k and parkrun, joining a running club, running a non-stop 10k, through to training for this, the support and advice (and humour 🤣) across all the forums has been fantastic!

A massive thank you to you all 🏃‍♀️😁🏃‍♀️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to pianoteacher]

March 23rd 2019. Possibly the longest day of my life so far 🙄 After all this anticipation I just want to get on with it! Sitting around resting and eating carbs isn't as great as I imagined it would be 😂 Hope everyone else has a bit more patience than me 🙈

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Not long now - one more sleep! That's if we get any sleep! I'm too hyped up!! 🤗

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to MutleyShuffle]

I won't get any sleep anyway - I've drunk so much today I'll likely be peeing all night
