Pompom time!!! Who’s braving it this weekend then? 💪

[Irishprincess]

Our pompoms haven’t had much of a rest at all this year but we still need to keep them fluffed up and waving for two warrior runners this weekend. 

🏅First up is O505k who will be taking on the Sao Silverstre de Lisboa 10K on Saturday evening. A few firsts for her, the first time she’s done a foreign 10K and the first time for a 9pm start time! Sounds magical O5! Hope you get a chance to take some photos.

🏅Our other brave runner is aliboo70 who will be running the Soup Run 6 miles on multi-terrain on Sunday morning. Just a normal Sunday run for you Ali 🤗 and then there’s the soup and a roll to look forward to. Sounds perfect for our icy weather here.

Good luck, Bon Courage and have fun both of you 🍀🍀 We’d love to read all about it in your post-run reports.

Anyone else out there who has an event this weekend? If so, let us know here and we’ll add you to our pompom cheer.

Whether you’re racing or not, whatever you’re doing this weekend, we hope you have a great time everyone🤗

Pom-poms waving for you O505k and aliboo70 . Have a great run 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏼‍♀️ !

[Cmoi Marathon]

Pompoms being waved, belatedly I'm afraid, for you O505k and aliboo70 !

[Frenc Half Marathon]

I’m a bit late, so I hope that O505k had a great time in Lisbon - fab city that it is, but hilly! And good luck this morning aliboo70 my pom poms have defrosted somewhat! 😊😊😊

[O505k Half Marathon]

Thanks to all for the best wishes. Sadly I had to skip the event. I have been nursing a strained Achilles and decided that I couldn’t risk running on it. 🥲I’ll just have to come back next year.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to O505k]

Oh no, what a shame. But a very sensible decision. The races will still be there when you're good to go. Take care of that Achilles 🙂
