Wobbly Race Report 1

[misswobble]

I’m back from my weekend of fun n games in lovely Lincs. I had a massive sleep last night and feel much better for it. I can’t believe how tiring it was. I must be getting old 👵🏻

I ran the 1k kids race before the main event. All kids must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Who me? 😁. On the starting line my young charge was read the riot act by his dad. You must not do this, that and the other. He yawned as we got set, ready and go 🧨. His rapid departure left me stranded, with a thousand or so screaming kids, leaving their footprints on my back as they trampled me underfoot 😳🫣. My lad zig-zagged across the narrow, speed-humped filled road, mounting the pavement and careening around the first bend, disappearing rapidly with me trying desperately to keep up. Fat chance! He was gone in 60 seconds. I had to stop briefly to catch my breath as I thought I might have a coronary 😤🥵 Moving swiftly on I narrowed my eyes trying to catch a glimpse of him, and hoping he might slow up. Surely he’ll fade soon 🤷‍♀️ He didn’t, and the last I saw of him he was on the final straight before the bend towards the finish. He was done in under 4 minutes but I did manage a respectable 5 minute something 🥵🏃‍♀️ 😀

He got a medal, banana and water 😃 I got to catch my breath before the next event 🙂

The little lad who won logged a time of 3 minutes something?

I think I need to drop a few pounds to up my game for next year. If they’re not bored of running by then 🙂

Just WOW 😳 your time is impressive, nephew is so speedy.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Great stuff! Well done 💪 But the thing is most of these youngsters don't have the stamina for longer bursts and will run out of energy very quickly 🙂

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

If he enjoys running he will work out that longer races and long distance relatives need a bit of respect. Encouraging him to run is one of the best gifts you can give. 🙂

he’s turned out every November for my marathon finish to run with me in the closing stage, bless him. His little brother too since he’s been able to walk 😁. He prefers skateboarding though 🤷‍♀️

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

That is wonderful; skateboard will never last 🙂(he will become world champ now!).

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Oh my days,,,, they are amazing....

THIS is why I run... to try to keep up with small person granddaughter... HUGE well done you though,,, ! Never try to catch a small person... ever !

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

well I had to! I was the responsible adult supposedly holding his hand 😁

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to misswobble]

Love it... hold my hand,,, if you can catch me...

I taught a small one once... who always wanted to stay racing around outside after the dinner time break... we had to wait until he was ready... with my classroom support out there with him....waiting for him to get fed up of being on his own ! No 🤣🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️point in chasing him,,,

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

Goodness MW you're brave! I'd have probably tied him to me by the wrist!! That's a fab time, super well done.

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

I was happy to be in the thick of it. At my age! 💪😁🏃‍♀️ Woo hoo 🙂

[over61andstilltrying 10 Miles]

All sounds very speedy! Hard to stay with even speedier youngsters! A thousand or so in such a rush, the mind boggles. Well done 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏

[misswobble Marathon]

The kids are inspirational. Well behaved and focussed while having a lovely time. It was a real stampede though 😁

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

That's it. I did a 3k fun run with my 4 and a half year old great niece recently. I may not keep up with her for many more years!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

he is my great nephew. There’s two of em😀. I ran last year with the youngest, but this year I ran with big bro 🙂 I’m making the most of it before they grow up 🙂
