OHMG...It's the first OHMG Graduation weekend!!!! PompomTASTIC!

[Sqkr]

Today's pompoms are baby quails, surely the pompomiest of all the baby birds. And (tenuous link) EEEEEEK we have our own baby birds about to fledge from the half marathon program! Yes, it's time for the first wave of our current brilliant HM group to get 21 amazing kilometres in the bag, have a fab day and get a lovely new necklace to boot! As ever, the first timers are in good company--we've got a super list of runners to cheer on this weekend...

📢 Robbing the rich to feed...well, herself hopefully, with some slow release carbs. It's SukiV in the Robin Hood Half Marathon! robinhoodhalfmarathon.co.uk...

🎵 Oh, what a feeling, when they're dancing on the c-ealing... 🎵 it's Becky1606 , Brunelphil , and Mya2019 in the Ealing Half Marathon! ealinghalfmarathon.com/

"There's nowt as queer as running folk" - that was certainly true last weekend as hundreds of us voluntarily braved the ekements!

[Mya2019 Half Marathon]

Thank you for all the well wishes and support completed my first ever HM in 2 hours 25 mins. So chuffed it was such an amazing experience.

I still can't believe I did it. From starting couch to 5k in January with the aim of losing a bit of weight and reducing back pain to this in just 8 to 9 months.

It's just such an incredible feeling.
