Last call for January pompoms! Come on, get waving! 🎽🏅🎉

[Cmoi]

Whether they’re still completely frozen, nicely thawed or melting in the heat, it’s time to get out your pompoms for the final flourish of January! 🎉

Two terrific types are taking on 10ks this weekend:

🏃‍♂️ On Saturday 28th January  ArthurJG will be running in the Buchlyvie 10k - entrycentral.com/event/100236 - heading along the roads and former railway track of this small Scottish village

🏃‍♂️ Then on Sunday 29th January  00marks will be taking on the Leicester 10k, whose route includes the city centre, Victoria Park, and part of the University of Leicester – quite a mixture! runforall.com/events/10k/le...

Have a wonderful time, both of you, and don’t forget to send us your event reports!

Anyone else out there taking part in a race over the weekend or coming week? Do let us know in the comments and we’ll add to you to the pompom list right away!

Taken from our terrace a few minutes ago 😀

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

No running then?

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Not today, just another 15 minute dog walk. I ran yesterday and am hoping to give it another go tomorrow. While I'm fine with the below-freezing temperatures I'm getting fed up with the ice and constant grey skies. Everything's been monochrome for a week now!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

I can understand how you feel. Although we haven't had those extremes it’s been bitterly cold here and I was due to go out yesterday but I couldn’t be bothered putting on all the layers again, such a faff. So, it’s warmer today and I’m going out shortly….. 🏃‍♀️

I really hope your snow and ice melts quickly 🤞
