Whoop whoop whoop for the awesome 3 running the Shakespeare marathon on Sunday- it’s been a long time coming. Pom poms waving on high.

Special Pompey pom-poms to Mudita11 running the Southampton 10k. Now why didn’t we enter that one? I want to hear all about it.

Cheers 🍻 Dexy 👍x

[TailChaser Marathon]

Thank you Linda and all! For some reason I’m a bit scared! I’ve been waiting to do this race for so long, it was supposed to be my first HM 2 years so it’s feeling like my first HM! Argh, stupid head 🤣 body has done 7 of these things now!Unfortunately Katnap is still injured following Manchester so I will continue pestering him to get an appointment with someone and get him to get the beers in at the end.

Good luck to everyone running this weekend! You’ve all got this!! 💪💪💪🥳

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Oh no, poor Katnap. I missed that. Speedy healing to him, hope it's nothing serious. You've got this TC - channel those nerves!!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda. He’s got knee problems, they are both sore and tight. He’s been out cycling a lot instead but he still needs to see someone…

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Pom poms being madly waved! Best of luck Katnap , TailChaser , and Time_Lord . At around 10.5k you’ll be Hathaway there! And best of luck too to Mudita11 - I’ll be cheering you on from a bit further up the M3. 😊😊😊.

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Frenc]

I see what you did there…I might break into song, or sonnet…. Thanks Frenc 😂

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Have a fabulous time everyone - BON COURAGE!!!!! XXX

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone 🍀 Have fun, smile often (apparently it helps 🙂) and bring home the bling 🏅🏅🥳

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Oh yes! Smiling really, really does help 😊

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Ok Shakespeare people, remember …“Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.” Thought a a spot of WS was needed in honour of the occasion!! Have a great day Mundita 11. 👏👏👏👏

[Cmoi Marathon]

Windy, flashy, bangy pompoms are forecast this weekend over here - just as well I'm nowhere near you!

Happy running TailChaser , Time_Lord and Mudita11 , and wishing you a speedy recovery Katnap !

[misswobble Marathon]

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Hope you all have a brilliant time! Good luck xxx

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone running this weekend and get well soon Katnap (ps listen to tailchaser. 👍 You know it makes sense) 👍😀

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

The pompoms worked, thank you all so much. I finished in about 1 hour 19 minutes with an average pace of just under 8 minutes per km (that’s fast for me lol). The course was great but running (walking) over the Itchen Bridge twice is tough. Here’s a photo of it taken by Mike Daish Photography yesterday. Can’t see me in it 🤣 I would have been behind the camera - way behind. Loved every single minute of it, my first actual race. My second is next Monday at the London Vitality 10000 xx

Itchen Bridge, Southampton

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Mudita11]

Fabulous. Congratulations! So pleased you enjoyed it.You could always post this as a separate run report post if you wish, so more people will see it (it will be a bit lost here amongst the discarded pom poms and banners 😊).

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Thanks I will 👍🏻 X
