A quietish weekend for events, though I'm sure plenty of non-race running will be happening too..! Pompoms for EVERYONE running 😊

★ Macmac is running the Adnams Southwold 10K! And YES I checked, you do get free beer! An excellent choice for a run 😁 adnams.co.uk/customer/pages...

★ Decker is running in the Fat Ass 25k 🤣 I am not going to try to find any kind of punnery to introduce that, I simply don't need to!

[Macmac Marathon]

Good luck with your races! I shall also be running my first official 10k race at the Adnams Southwold 10k on Sunday. (I did mention in the chat but no worries 😊). Nice woof woof btw 😀

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Macmac]

Ah no sorry macmac! I'll fix it right now. I'm not going to lie, I am meant to be working on children in need at the moment so I did this post on the sneak! 😄 I'll double check the chat post too.

[Macmac Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Thanks! Your work is more important but many thanks for adding. ( btw, one year they even had beer stations en route!! 😁 )

[Colinsmith Half Marathon in reply to Macmac]

I like the sound of that! Is it an annual event? Good luck Macmac.

[Macmac Marathon in reply to Colinsmith]

Thanks Colin - it went ok thanks. I believe this was the 11th year. A nice location, although the first 1k was full of large puddles and potholes to avoid which had to be navigated 3 times. The other 7k was very nice though 🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Good luck everyone. Enjoy, and tell us all about it 🙂

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Oh, sorry Sqkr - I withdrew from the Gosport Half a couple of weeks ago when a bad back and then illness struck! Back out running now but this one will have to wait, I'm afraid! Good luck everyone who has got events this weekend though - could be a few puddles out there and plenty of mud on the trails!😀🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻🍂🌧💦 Enjoy!!👍

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Oh I am not doing well today, am I! But you still get pompoms of course, all runners get pompoms this weekend race or otherwise! ☺️

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Not your fault at all Sqkr and I shall enjoy all virtual pompoms as I splash along some muddy trails tomorrow! (whilst simultaneously waving my own pompoms for everyone else, of course!)😂
