Woohooo!!! And a tip for sweet motivation

[CBDB]

Big woohoo to all the racers amongst us! On Twitter I came across this little tip (see image) which just was so sweet (literally, as well as metaphorically) that I just had to share!

Good luck with upcoming races: Trail du Gevaudan, Cardiff HM, Isle of Sky HM, San Sebastián and of course London HM. And many more to come after that!

That’s a very cool tip CBDB

I’ve promised myself a snickers if I ever run a marathon ❤️🏃‍♀️

I have a “Marathon” bar, an actual proper one, from a marathon I ran. I keep it as a memento and warned my husband he’d better not nick it 😁💪.

[RunWillie Marathon in reply to misswobble]

That’s so cool. Running 26.2 and an original marathon bar ❤️

I know. Great touch by the organiser. Just one guy organises the event. His goody bags are ace.

Speaking of goody bags. I searched in vain last weekend to find sustenance in mine. No food at all 😱. A bottle of strawberry milk which was ‘orrible and a can of no-alcohol beer. Nowt to eat. No coffee available either. Not doing that one again ☹️

I was spoilt rotten during and after my maratrail today. Feeding stations en route had assorted little cakes, slices of baguette, biscuits, cheese, saucisson, pizza, chocolate, bananas, chopped apple, fruit compôte in sachets, and even the occasional gel. Drinks were still or sparkling water, or cola.

At the end, the "refreshments bag" included ham, a mini bread roll, a mini tabbouleh salad (carrot salad was on offer too, we got to choose!) a packet of crisps, an apple, a mini cake and a bottle of water.

And as well as a finishers' T-shirt, we got a free local beer!

It’ll be the most yummy snickers you’ve ever had, I’m sure! (The best buttered toast I’ve ever had was the one after giving birth to my son, which was a marathon of its own 🤣🤣)

[misswobble Marathon in reply to CBDB]

Toast! Crikey. Did you go private 😁

[CBDB in reply to misswobble]

🤣🤣(#loveNHS)

[misswobble Marathon in reply to CBDB]

In our ospickle “only ladies in Labour can have toast”. Obviously 🤷‍♀️😁

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

This is a lovely idea - but personally, it would just make me cry!!!🥲😂

[CBDB in reply to Sandraj39]

🤣🤣 Yes, I can imagine it’ll be a bit of a problem, maybe sort them according to a ‘crying scale’? 🤣🤣

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

I wouldn’t be able to read em 🤓☺️

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

That's a sweet idea (pardon the pun)! I note that "Snickers" is enough encouragement 😊😊😊

I love this, thank you. As I'm attempting my run tomorrow completely solo 😢 I think I might try this. It might help me remember my why when it gets tough 🤞😊

[CBDB in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

Good Luck!!! I’ll be there on the virtual sidelines cheering you on with my virtual Pom Poms!!!!📣🙌🎉

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

Good luck for tomorrow! 💪

[Forest_Run_Beginner Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you, and the same to Mr Sandraj39 🍀🤞😊
