Friday’s here again and the heat is on! πŸ”₯ Whether you’re hiding from a heatwave or searching for sunshine, it’s time to fire up the inimitable HU pompoms to wish your VRBs fun and success for their events! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Our red-hot runners and racers are:

πŸŽ½πŸ‘Ÿ TailChaser and Katnap , heading off on Sunday 13th August to the Solihull HM: runsolihull.com/event/solih... Organised in support of Acorns Children’s Hospice, the race starts and finishes in Solihull town centre, and follows an undulating route on roads and tarmac paths. We’re told that the fearless felines will also be taking part in a Fordy Runs meet-up afterwards.

πŸŽ½πŸ‘Ÿ Folkylass , who’ll be taking part in the Jon Ward Virtual Hereford 5K - herefordcouriers.com/club-r... at a date of her choosing between 13th and 20th August. All profits from the race will be given to charity in memory of the eponymous former Hereford Couriers running club member.

Have a fabulous time, and don’t forget to send us your run reports!

Any more VRBs taking part in a racing event this weekend and would like a pompom cheer? If so, let us know asap by replying to this post, and we’ll get your name on the list!

The Team xxx

Many thanks Cmoi for the Pom Poms and lovely mention.At the moment I’m starting to just get over an ongoing problem . Lower back pain. I haven’t had a flare up for a long time. However Thursday morning on taking washing out of the machine and transferring it into basket I suddenly jerked my back and bingo the pain was back. So yesterday I did some Pilates for lower back pain

taking painkillers , lots of tiger balmπŸ… ( smelly stuff!) and resting although I have managed to walk a little. Its improving so all good and I’m hoping to get out for my virtual charity run tomorrow or if not one day next week. πŸ˜³πŸ˜«πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚πŸ₯°

Good luck. Have you ever looked at the acupressure mats? I got a cheap one on Amazon and although it takes a couple of times to get used to it, my back felt a bit better. It's just like lying on a bed of sharp pins, only luckily they're shorter and plastic!!

TailChaserMarathonβ€’ in reply toHedgehogs123

I love mine when I’m in the mood. Does wonders for my occasional shoulder spasm flare ups, just takes a bit of getting used to.

Hedgehogs123Metric Marathonβ€’ in reply toTailChaser

yes it take me a couple of goes, but then it feels quite comfortable once you've got used to it.

Hi Hedgehogs123, only just read your post. I’ve never heard of acupressure mats. I think I may have to investigate πŸ€”πŸ€”thanks for thatπŸ‘πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Hedgehogs123 profile image
Hedgehogs123Metric Marathonβ€’ in reply toFolkylass

Just start off with a cheap one and see how you get on with it. As I said , mine was about 12 quid from Amazon and whenever my back is a bit stiff (I have arthritis in my lumber spine) it does seem to help

Will do ! Thanks again Hedgehogs123. That must be very painful for you πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Also known as β€˜Shakti Mats’. They had some in the middle of Lidl last time I was in, might be worth a look if you have one nearby.

I’m always a bit late with my cheerleading, but I’m enthusiastically waving my Pom Poms (virtual of course, who actually owns some of those?!!!). Wishing you speedy and comfortable runs - I suppose we should also keep an eye on fordys you tube channel for a potential cameo (or star appearances).

I’ve got some 😳 I couldn’t resist when I spectated at the London Marathon in April πŸ˜‚

Thanks Kevin, I don’t think it’ll be on YouTube, the β€˜Management’ aren’t in attendance, so no Fordy GoPros for this one.
