[linda9389]

Time to shake out your pom poms!!!

Another awesome September eventing weekend is calling us to our positions in support of a long list of amazing eventers. We've a lot of cheering to do so prepare yourselves well!!!

⭐ On Saturday 11th we have:

🥳 First up is the awesomely speedy RunBrianRun who will be sprinting at the Southern Athletics League meeting in Perivale - back willing !!! I do hope that twinge has disappeared for the weekend Brian 🤞

🥳At the other end of the scale, our very own Decker is heading deep into the trees for the Haliburton 50k Trail Ultra - 'primal beauty ... rugged trails ... and nature at it's best' for 50 km sounds absolutely epic, you are a superstar Decker!

🥳 Taking the distance up a notch further still Shake-and-run will be cycling the Bard's Ride 100k through the undulating Warwickshire countryside - may your seat be comfy to the end Shakes! 🚵‍♀️

⭐ Then on Sunday 12th we have:

🥳 A fabulous bunch of HU runners - Tasha99 and GTFC , joined by RunSkippyRun - for the Great North Run Half Marathon. Be GREAT and have a GREAT time!

🥳 A little further afield the lovely Frenc is venturing to France, armed with all the official paperwork, to run the 10k La Parisienne. Ooh la la, Bon Courage!!!  🙂

🥳 Closer to home, in the lovely, lovely New Forest we have another great HU posse to support: Dexy5 UpTheStanley and Mudita11 are all running the New Forest Marathon 10k. Have a fantastic time among those stunning trees folks!

🥳 And last, but most definitely not least, we have the amazing Lookslikejames who will be running his very first marathon, in the same New Forest Marathon event. You've got this James - channel those nerves and go smash it. It sounds like a fantastic choice for your first marathon and we look forward to hearing all about it!

🥳 ... plus, a last minute edit: Runsome will be tackling the Rye Ancient Trails 30k. That looks like a challenging one Runsome, may your legs be strong!!!

[RunWillie Marathon]

What an awesome line-up. Have fun everyone. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Many thanks Linda. We received news this morning that the Palace has approved the continuation of this event following the sad news yesterday . We shall be wearing black as a mark of respect. UpTheStanley is nursing an achilles niggle so he hasn’t run all week but no doubt he will run as normal on the day and then slap ice on afterwards 🙄 I’m looking forward to a fun day in drier conditions than we’ve had of late.

Good luck with your events RunBrianRun , Decker , Tasha99 , GTFC , RunSkippyRun , Frenc ,

We may bump into you Mudita11 and Lookslikejames

Happy pedalling Shake-and-run

well done on your 50th Parkrun, mine was last weekend. I've got my 50th T shirt already, get yours ordered if you haven't already!!👏

[sTrongFuse Half Marathon 10 Miles in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Now ordered. Last week was my 50th start, but I had a DNF back in 2019, so I had to wait a week for my 50th finish.

Congratulations! Impressive achievement 👏👏👏

Thanks Brian. Found out today I was 4th in my age category. I’ll take it! 😊

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

There you go. 👏👏👏👏💪

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Thank you Linda. 😊 My back held up nicely for both races and although I didn’t reach my target times I was very happy with the results and time. 13.11 for the 100 placing 3rd and 27.27 for the 200 placing 2nd.

That’s it for this season now. I’ll be training really really really hard this winter and aiming to break that 90% age grading next year 👍💪 where my goal is to run for Team GB in the European Masters Championships in Italy in September! Onwards!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Brilliant work Brian! I’ve no doubt you will crush that 90% grading!
