[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thanks Roseabi. Just relaxing in my hotel room while my phone charges up then going out for something to eat. Good luck everyone racing this weekend wherever you are. Just back from a visit to Barry Island as a big Gavin and Stacey fan. Shame it was a bit wet. Had a cake and latte in Marcos Cafe opposite the beach. Looking forward to tomorrow.

My room is on the third floor. Don't think I will be coming back to my room for a while after the race tomorrow at least until I have had a good rest lol.

[TailChaser Marathon]

I love the Pom Pom posts!! And so many doing so many awesome runs!! Good luck everyone 🥳🥳🥳, particularly MrFox001 as me and Katnap chickened out of the Alcester 10k cos of doing Lyme Park on Saturday...

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

With the Forecast rain probably a very wise move. Still i have the thought of the free Cider at Drinks station 3 to keep me going and some dry clothes waiting in the car. I LOVE RUNNING!!!!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to MrFox001]

Oooh, sounds good. Next year, rain or no rain! All the best 👍🤞👏

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Thank You and look forward to you and Katnap wizzing past me Next Year !!!!!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to MrFox001]

We’ll try 😁

[Hidden]

Thank you Roseabi, but I have made the decision to withdraw from the bournemouth half this weekend. I did a trial run yesterday 4.5 miles and my groin felt uncomfortable and niggly. Not pain as such but it was subsequently aggravated last night with a bit of limping at times. I am not convinced that I could run a half marathon on it at the moment without doing more injury.

So good luck everyone and bring home the bling!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Ohhhhh sorry about that - you did say and I forgot to check 😪 Sounds like a good call, best wishes for a speedy recovery xxx

[Hidden in reply to roseabi]

It's ok, I have accepted the decision as the best one. Hopefully I will be better for GSR!

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Hidden]

My race pack for GSR arrived today - so excited. I hope you are fit enough to join us in 2 weeks. 🤞

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

So has mine, hm race number went in the bin this morning and 5 mins later GSR race number arrived! I hope I am fit by then as I see a pacer I would like to stalk!

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Hidden]

No pacers go as slow as me 😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

🤣

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Hope you are back out there soon RFD - fingers crossed for the GSR! 🤞

[Hidden in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you Sandra, I am a bit disappointed today as I would have been travelling down.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

That's understandable but I reckon you've made the right decision for the long term....take care.x

[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

What an amazing line up. Good luck to all and fingers crossed for kind weather.

To add to the mix, I am stupidly doing a RoughRunner obstacle run on Sunday at Morden Park. You would think I had learnt my lesson after last Sunday's HM!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

Why would I think that? 😄😄😄

Good luck and have fun! xxx

[Sadie-runs Half Marathon]

Exciting! All the best to our plucky runners! Most of all, enjoy. 👍😁👏👏👏

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Awwwww xxx

[Clairecandothis Marathon Half Marathon]

😁🥰 😊 Thank you. I'm so excited and emotional to see this post! It is so surreal though, who would have thought little old me would run a marathon?! I am a bag of nerves, verging on slightly terrified lol but once we arrive in Bournemouth tomorrow and soak up the atmosphere I will be excited again. I've done my training, ran my last run today so all I can do is wait and run it! Thank you to everyone who has helped me through all my wobbles. Whoooo marathon time! 👍🙈😳🤣🤞🏃‍♀️🥳 xx

Thanks Roaeabi. Not only is this a first 10k I’m doing it in a bright green tutu in the pouring rain. No backing out either as I was in the local paper this week. Fame before I even get my shoes on 😂
