Another weekend, another batch of lovely HU racers!!!
Please grab your pom poms, tune up your voices, prepare to jump, to shake and to shout!!!
At the time of posting we know of a select group of VRBs heading for two start lines this Sunday, 20th October:
๐ฅณ Our fabulous feline duo TailChaser and Katnap will be lining up to start the 2022/23 Tempo Winter Series, with the aim of completing all five runs in order to earn themselves a very special momento - enjoy the Larkstoke climb of race 1, cats๐ฅฐ
๐ฅณ Meanwhile the stupendous Sandie1961 and Shake-and-run have travelled a little further afield (despite Easyjet's attempts to scupper plans) to run the Venice Marathon 10k - how enviable is that? Billed as a 'non-competitive race' (an oxymoron surely?) this surely has to be up there with the most enviable of routes!
๐ If youโve run one of these distances - 10 miles, Half Marathon, Metric Marathon (26.2K), Marathon, Ultra (50K and beyond) then you can claim your well earned badge by heading here:
Oh I so wish we were joining Sandie and Shakes! Venice sounds so much nicer than soggy, hilly Warwickshire. I hope they have an absolutely wonderful time, itโs such a brilliant thing to do!
Big pom pom shakes for them and anyone else running this weekend! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Pompey pom-poms are shaking for Katnap , TailChaser who will be both be getting sausages at the end of each run this year. Toad in the hole to follow methinks.
Well done for getting to Venice Shake-and-run and Sandie1961 , let alone running. I hope youโve caught up on your sleep now. This is going to be so much fun!
Another race? Is there no limit to the energy levels of our lovely crazy runners? Clearly not! Have a fantastic run all four of you and best wishes to anyone else taking on a challenge this weekend. Nothing more energetic than dog walks for me!!
Iโve dried my pom poms off, and will be flapping them like a mad thing for TailChaser Katnap Sandie1961 Shake-and-run . Have fun and enjoy everyone! ๐๐๐
Thank you Linda. Off to get our bibs this afternoon (travel by vaporetta). Checked out the run - 4km across the bridge from the mainland, then along the edge of the Grand Canal with 14 bridges to run over. Soooo excited ๐ Good luck TailChaser and Katnap xx
Letโs go chums! TailChaser Katnap Sandie1961 and Shake-and-run are an epic bunch who will bring home the bling for HU (again!) Windy and rather wet Bristolian pompoms are being shaken for you all! ๐ฅณ
Hello everyone ๐ so yes linda9389 today I start my NYC virtual marathon. With this one you can spread it over so many weeks which makes it a little easier. You can run it on the spot or physically itโs up to you and get a Strava badge at the end. Had an extended break after my London Marathon so this is a perfect way to start up again! ๐
Unfortunately I found that late last night that I need to run full marathon distance within the 2 week period and canโt breakdown the distance one to another.
I do have another plan of running 150 km in 28 days in December. This is around 93 miles which is exactly how many years my stepmum lived before she passed away last year with vascular dementia so would be quite poignant to do this in her memory instead!
I can now officially wave bleu-blanc-rouge pompoms so that's what I'm doing - have a fabulous time Katnap , TailChaser , Shake-and-run and Sandie1961 !
Btw linda9389 , while the teacher in me agrees that a non-competitive race is an oxymoron, the runner definitely does not. That's why I prefer to say that I've taken part in two events, not races, as I was there to have fun and challenge myself, not compete. ๐๐
๏ปฟWhoops , nearly missed pom pom time - it's been one of those weeks. Fortunately I carefully washed ,dried and refluffed my pom poms on Monday after cheering on last Sunday's magnificent HU runners . All ready to cheer you on TailChaser ๏ปฟ Katnap ๏ปฟ Sandie1961 Shake-and-run . Happy running ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐๐๐
