Friday means FriYAAAAAAY and Pompoms! Events 22nd - 23rd Feb ✨✨✨

[Sqkr]

Well, the weather is whirly and dramatic still, but so are our runners! Let the elements give you a bit of a boost, harness that wind! 🤩

🥁 Drumrolllllll 🥁

Right Here, Right Now, we have Fatgirlslim19 running the Stroke Association 5K! I haven't put the link up here as there are a few different ones happening around the country and not sure which it is--but I know you'll be Pushing the Tempo regardless! Ok, enough Fatboyslim now...

...except it can't possibly be the Brighton Half Marathon without a bit of Norman Cook, so Praise You, roseabi , Snuffy_T, Beccym, Nikasa777, Whatsapp , and Scarletsunrise ! brightonhalfmarathon.com/

Let your Weapons of Choice be your speedy feet, gang! 😁

The Marathon Team xx

Ha ha, thanks Squeak! Great Norman theme there, and those pompoms look about right!! We have the famous BBC black winds laid on for Sunday, spookily timed to land right on the half marathon and then die down again at about 1pm - why? why? But still, it'll be refreshing 😬

Good luck and have fun, everyone xxx

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Ooh, sorry I should have added these guys to the Events post:

Snuffy_T Beccym Nikasa777 are booked for Brighton too - good luck all!!!!

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

I have added them to the main post too! Sparkly raincloud pompoms for all!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

I am going to pretend to be Christopher Walken dancing - that'll get me there! 😄

I am so sad we can't post gifs. Maybe this link will work for anyone unable to visualise such a thing.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

😂 Yep, that'll be me!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

Norm was at the Brighton Half, he waved the flag at the start and then joined in the "fun" and I beat him 😊

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Take that, Norm! 😎

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

Good luck all runners. No Brighton HM for me, unfortunately - just the IC this weekend. Maybe next year.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Oh no! That’s so disappointing for you ..

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Yes, first time this has happened to me and quite a significant run too. Nothing I can do though, other than look forward.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Oh I'm sorry!!! Hope you are better asap! The weather's going to be really horrid anyway xxx

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thank you. I wasn't looking forward to running in the weather, but I really want to do the Brighton one. Never mind, there's always next year for me. Have a great run Abi I x

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Thank you! xx

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Oh, how disappointing (I feel your pain!). The next one will be all the better for the wait. Take care, heal fast.

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank Linda, it won't a long time on the IC fortunately - an overturning flare-up - just really bad timing for tomorrow's event.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

VERY bad timing (apart from the weather which you have at least been saved from!)

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

😂😂

[Fatgirlslim19]

Aw thanks Sqkr! I'm running the Gorleston event. Weather looks wet and windy but the forecast has improved a bit since yesterday so fingers crossed! Loving the fat boy slim references! And that pom pom picture is lovely 😍

Good luck Brighton Half runners!!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone! Be swift of feet and smiley of face..... 🏃‍♀️🏃😀

[Nikasa777 Ultramarathon]

Good luck everyone! I was in Brighton for lunch yesterday and got blown around, I’m now hoping the wind guides us in the right direction.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone. May the wind be behind you all the way!

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]
