We don’t have any race entries submitted for this weekend - but don't put those pom poms away just yet!πŸ₯³

The lovely sparky66 and venerable AlMorr are meeting up at Dunfermline parkrun, complete with santa hats! Hope you have a wonderful time guys!!!

Anyone hoping to complete our HU festive Bingo challenge will be heading out this Saturday or Sunday for their 5k Santa Dash πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸƒ; whether it's a run or a walk, part of a longer distance or not, don your santa hat (or other suitable festive accessories), get out there for a fun, festive 5K and then dab your box!!! Then photos please πŸ“·

So let's raise those pom poms and get ready our most festive waves and cheers as we head towards Christmas, doing what we do best πŸ₯³πŸŽˆπŸŽŠ

If anyone else does have an event this weekend then let us know in the comments and we’ll include you in our pom-pom display!

If you have an event later this month, check here to book your pom-pom display healthunlocked.com/marathon...

If you haven't already seen it, details of the full HU Festive Bingo Challenge can be found here healthunlocked.com/marathon...

Have a great weekend everyone

Enjoy yourselves, AlMorr and sparky66 !

There's a Christmas run in one of the nearest towns on Sunday, unless new Covid restrictions put paid to it. Not sure I fancy running at dusk in trail shoes on roads, pavements and cobbles with hundreds of others though. I might do full-on stupid round here instead.

Ooh so sad to report, I didn't get to meet Almorr today πŸ˜”We had just set out to meet him and got a puncture!!!

I managed to message him ,and he ran his local park πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜

I ran my old Park, was very nostalgic, this is where I grew up playing, and took my children to when they were young before moving to England..

10K in 1.11.10 , enjoyed that πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜„

Maybe another time Almorr ☺️

We did do the post run breakfast but it wasn’t very festive. But don’t worry Linda, I will achieve that one in a day or two. πŸ˜‹πŸ€£πŸ€£

I did my local parkrun with my friend in our 2019 outfits! Doing a 6mile trail run fundraiser tomorrow called The Soup run (soup at the end!) In Bembridge should be good xxx

Actually I only did a townie run, and posted some cards so I get 2 for 1!! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜ most folk laughed at my light up hat but some obviously thought I was short a few brain cells!

LINE! Hopefully 🀞 I completed my Santa Dash on Friday before I had my covid booster as I didn’t know how I would feel over the weekend. As it turned out I’ve felt pretty rough and wouldn’t have been able to run if my life had depended on it πŸ₯΄πŸ˜΄πŸ€’. I’m picking up now thankfully πŸ™‚

So that finished a line on my bingo card - if it’s allowed of course

I wore my Ho Ho Ho T-shirt that I made last year and it was mild enough to wear it on full show πŸ˜ƒ

I’ve been working my way through the bingo card as my running buddy has not run for about a month due to one thing and another. I was hoping to complete it together but it’s kept me motivated going out on my own. I’ve got some Strava art planned for Monday if she can make it 🌲 πŸŽ…

My bingo card is in the comments

Oops. I missed the fact that you DID call a line!!!!! I only saw the photo in the comments πŸ˜…. Santa dash on Friday allowed? Definitely, indeed you deserve bonus points for finding a way to make it work!!! How close was your naked run to the actual distance - do you know?

Frizzbomb6710 Milesβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

Well I was enjoying my run and forgot all about the task πŸ˜‚ but I suddenly realised that I was about a km from home and I was supposed to be estimating 5k. So I stopped and fished out my phone and it was 4.98k 😲 It was a fluke tho and a well worn 6k route.
