IT’S FRIDAY POMPOM TIME!!! 🥳🥳📣

[Irishprincess]

After the gigantic wave of events last weekend, the pompoms can slow down a bit but  they can’t rest yet as we have a few VRBs running this weekend.

🎽 Our own intrepid    aliboo70 will be running The Newchurch 9 on Sunday, a lovely sounding 9K trail through woods and cycle tracks. I believe there will be cake and a raffle afterwards, so one definitely worth running for 😋

🎽 It wouldn’t be a pompom wave without our very own speedster    RunBrianRun who will be representing his club at the Sussex Vets League Competitions on Monday. You just seem to be getting faster and faster Brian 🏃‍♂️

🎽 And finally, our brave   Hedgehogs123 along with some members of her running club, will be tackling The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge tomorrow. A 24 mile round trip route with 1585m of ascent 🙀 You’ve got this Hedgehogs, go get it!

Thank you, feels like Christmas Eve, I'm meant to go to bed early as the minibus is leaving at 5.30 am so I'm up at 4am, but I'm too excited ( and nervous!!)💪💪😵‍💫😵‍💫

[Freecloud Marathon]

I'm doing my 2nd HM (The River Moy half marathon in Ballina, County Mayo) in a week this morning (where in incorporating the HU10k into it 🤣), timing is a bit stupid of me. Hopefully I've had a good enough rest as I've only done an easy 3k on Thursday and nothing else.I've just arrived and got my number (351) and long sleeved T shirt 👕 as we had to be here between 7 and 9 to collect and the run doesn't start till 10. Not sure how I'll run it yet, I'll go by feel and see.

Best of luck everyone in your runs!

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

Think you've just broken the record for the latest-ever pompoms request Freecloud ! Happy running!

[Freecloud Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Ha ha, most probably Cmoi and Irishprincess 🤭. I mentioned it 3 days ago in the weekly chat, which was probably the wrong place 🤣. It's been a bit of a crazy week so I was all over the place a bit.. I got to the place early to collect my bib and had a bit of time so posted about my run. I think I needed those pom-poms today. Absolutely wrecked now and I'm going to enforce a 2 week rest from running (as I should have done after the marathon).

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

Well done on getting through the race Freecloud , and yes, sounds like a rest is in order, you've been super-busy!

Re where to post, the weekly pompoms post is created by one of the admin team, and is based on replies to the monthly event post. Unfortunately if someone posts elsewhere, we can't guarantee that we'll see the info or pick up on it in time, even though we do our best to read and repond to as many posts as possible.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

We look forward to your race report when you’ve rested 🙂

[Freecloud Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Ha ha that's 2 to do 😭

[RunWillie Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

Cheering for you Freecloud 🤩

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

You’ve probably already run this! Hope it went ok 🤞

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Thanks everyone, and good luck to all VRBs this weekend. 👍

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]
