Thank you roseabi, we will try our best to make you proud. 🌺
Thanks roseabi 🙂 I’m running 11.11 km down by the seafront in Bognor. I’ve made myself a Poppy Run bib to attach to my shirt as I haven’t got time to get home to pick up last year’s Poppy Run shirt.
I’ll take some photos if I remember and do a collage to post on here😊👍
Germs???
As one of the germs, I’m not entirely sure how to take this 🙄 🦠 😀🚶🏼♂️
I’ll assume you meant well ....
I always do!

"Ladies and Germs” (for “Ladies and Gentlemen") is a joking way that a comedian might address an audience. “Ladies and Germs” has been cited in print insce at least 1949, when it was credited to Milton Berle (1908-2002), host of television’s The Texaco Star Theatre. Bob Thomas, of the Associated Press, wrote in Berle’s obituary in 2002:
“‘Good evening, ladies and germs,’ Berle would say to his audience. ‘I mean ladies and gentlemen. I call you ladies and gentlemen, but you know what you really are.’”

I must admit I have been known to use “Chaps 🏃♂️and others🏃🏽♀️” 😀
Good luck everyone. I'll be shaking the poms poms in Devon for you 😊
Best of luck to you all!!!
I am planning a 14k tomorrow and will reflect on the day as I run. Floss's poem of last year inspired me to apply (successfully) for the Arctic Star for my late father. Many thanks to our resident muse.
Not sure how well germs can run though!
Pom poms shaking here in Bristol for my pals! Go everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
How are you doing cheekychipmunks?, are you now recovering from that outbreak of Covid 19 you mentioned the other day.
I’m fine thanks Al, and miraculously my family appears to have escaped catching it from me No idea how! Still self isolating until Friday for me, and next Tuesday for them - but apart from my taste and smell still AWOL, I’m ok. Thanks. 😀
That's great news CCM, I am glad that you are fine and your family has escaped catching it, hopefully it won't be long before you can get running again.
This morning I ran a 11K as it is the 11th of the 11th, good run especially because a man who was walking in the opposite direction shouted "you are doing very well" that made my run even better.
Brilliant Al, well done indeed. 👏👏👏 Yes I plan on doing a gentle run on Friday morning. Nothing record breaking, as it’ll be my first proper exercise for a while!
❤ run well today. Good luck 🎉🎉🎉🌠
Best of luck to all ladies, germs and gents!! 👏👏👏
Hi roseabi, I can't run that Poppy Run but this morning just before 11 minutes past 8 on the 11th day of the 11th month I ran a 11K run, just before I finished the run a walker shouted at me "you are doing well" that made my day and the run worth while.
