Please put down your chocolate and pick up your pompoms 🐣🐰🏅

Hello lovely VRBs

Happy Easter one and all.

Yep it's Friday again and we have a few folk this week, temporarily putting down their chocolate to get out and hit the start line!  🙂

First up, on Easter Sunday we have Shake-and-run who will be running the Chasewater Easter Egg 10K; promising views of the lake and undulating paths and trails with seasonal goodies (sounds delish!) and the chance for fancy dress. Will you be in costume Shakes ? If so, photos are of course mandatory 😍

Next, on Easter Monday it's my turn, I've entered the Beaconsfield 5 mile Trail Run again; near enough to go to the loo at home before a trot around the local private estate - what's not to love (apart from the forecast rain and likely mud perhaps)?

Then last, but of course not least, we have a midweek entry on Wednesday 12 April for Dendev75 who is running the Chester Spring 5 2023 (5 miles); hopefully this will be fourth time lucky for Dendev75. A run along gently undulating country lanes in lovely countryside, this sounds delightful.

That's everyone we have a note of, but if we’ve missed anyone then please do let us know.

Good luck to all our amazing runners this Easter. Bon Courage to our racers, make sure you have fun (and maybe don't overdo the chocolate  🍫)🐰🐣🐥

[Dendev75 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Dexy5 thank you - fingers crossed - this will be my first (of many I hope).

[MissUnderstanding Half Marathon]

Those are some seriously cute pom pom bunnies! It’s a pleasure to wave them at everyone running. Good luck!!!! 🏃‍♀️💪❤️

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Sunny Easter pompoms being shaken here for you all! Hope the forecast remains decent for you and you all end up with chunky bling and a mahoosive sense of achievement! ❤️

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

I have some ears for Tailwalking at Parkrun tomorrow that I will wear at the start of my Easter Sunday run. I don’t think they will stay on very long as they are not very secure.

Thank you for your good wishes everyone, and yes Dexy5 I still have the cough. Just going to take it steady and enjoy the views!!

Good luck to everyone else running this week.

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Shake-and-run]

Snap, I’m wearing ears at parkrun too. Hopefully Oldgirlruns has remembered to dig hers out. Hint hint.

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

I did my first-ever metric marathon - actually the Spring 2021 HUHM, only I added some on - wearing bright yellow bunny ears Shake-and-run . They do take some adjusting to keep them on!

You could always add a tail...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

I remember those ears 😍

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to linda9389]

They're 🐰 actually on my desk linda9389 . Because where else would I keep them? 🤣

After that MM was the roughest I've ever felt post-run. Didn't hydrate or fuel properly. Yet as I arrived home, feeling sick and unsteady on my feet, there was already a demon whispering that a marathon was only 16km more!

Enjoy your trail run! 👍😘

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

I love that ... and we all know the demon had his way with you 😍. It's a funny thing looking back isn't it. We forget how far we come sometimes. Bunny ears are clearly a good memory jogger 🥰

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

Love the ears!

[Freecloud Marathon]

Best of luck everyone and enjoy!

My marathon training plan has a 10 mile run for tomorrow but I saw a 10k event not too far away from me and will be doing that instead. I also have my local half marathon on Monday. They seem a bit much but are incorporated into the training plan and once they are over it will be one last long run the following weekend and then tapering.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

Good luck Freecloud! Pom poms waving for you too 😊

[Joster Half Marathon]

Good luck to everyone!!!
