πŸ“£πŸ“£ Wakey-wakey, it's an early call for pompoms! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Yes, it’s still Thursday, and as you can see, the pompoms are happily snoozing on the couch. However, VRBs, it’s an early wake-up call for you and them this week πŸ“£ as we need to spring into action for a Friday evening race!

Here we go with the roll-call of runners in a particularly varied array of events:

🎽 Getting things underway on Friday 17th February is    SkiMonday , showing off his night moves in the Beechenhurst Night Run - sites.google.com/site/rogue... The route is all on forest fire-track, without muddy sections, stones or roots. They must be very well-behaved trees in the Forest of Dean!

On Sunday 19th we have no fewer than [frantically edits post again] FIVE races:

🎽 First up, Viva Β Β Β Teresa1632 ! She’s headed abroad for her first international event, the Barcelona Half Marathon: edreamsmitjabarcelona.com/e... on an entirely urban course that’s described as both fast and magical.

🎽 Meanwhile, Β Β Β Time_Lord will be travelling to Wales with her running club for the fast and flat course of the Rhyl 10 Miler, mostly run along the resort’s promenade: runwales.com/e/lets-run-rhy... Pob lwc!

🎽 Also in Sunday’s line-up of runners is Β Β Β David_G , who’ll be lacing up for the Local Landmarks 10K: locallandmarks10k.co.uk This virtual event enables runners to choose where they’d like to run, so David’s aiming to tour Bognor Regis in West Sussex and to take in places of interest.

🎽 Now editing to add: the Stratford Sausage Squad! Yes,   Katnap ,   TailChaser and   Shake-and-run will be running up THAT hill again on Sunday, to ensure they stay fed, and in the case of the former two, clothed as well! It's the final 10k race of five in the Tempo Events Winter Series: tempoevents.co.uk/events/wi...

🎽 And another edit: still on Sunday,  aliboo70 is bound for a mud-fest in the Isle of Wight Championship cross country race: rydeharriers.co.uk/club-eve...

🎽 Last but not least in our roll-call is Β Β Β ArthurJG , who’s opted for a lunchtime 5k on Tuesday 21st. The Meadows 5K in Edinburgh invites runners to enjoy the views of the open grassland and tree-lined paths: letsdothis.com/gb/e/novembe...

Have lots of fun, everyone, and please do send us your event reports and photos!

Anyone else out there got a race over the weekend or coming week? Simply reply to this post and we’ll get those pompoms waving for you too!

It is the final 10k sausage race on Sunday. I enjoyed it so much last time I’m joining Katnap and TailChaser again. I will be rewarded with sausages but they are running for the amazing hoodies (colour is still a closely guarded secret).

Good luck everyone! Loads of races on!Kenny and I have a child free weekend so I have taken advantage of the fact he loves a race and persuaded him to join me in a run on Sunday that is historically very muddy! The fact he doesn't like cross country makes it all the more fun(maybe not for him but for me)! It's club championships so all IOW clubs represented usually! Enter on the day!

Previous year at the Cross Country!
