Pompom Friday- take 1!!! 😪🎉🥳

[linda9389]

Hey everyone. First a quick apology that I forgot to prep this pom pom post last night, so this is a hastily composed post for some fabulous VRBs who most definitely deserve better. I promise to tidy it up when I get back to my laptop later today.

So without further ado I ask you to jump up and down, cheer loudly and shake those pompoms with all your might for these wonderful racers!!!

⭐️First up, on Saturday we have    00marks running the Chicago 5K

chicago5k.com

⭐️Then on Sunday we have    aliboo70 and    Mudita11 tackling the Ageas Bowl 10K

⭐️Also on Sunday, fresh from his 5k 'warmup' the day before, we have

   00marks - this time running the full Chicago Marathon

⭐️ Taking on the same Chicago Marathon is  Lookslikejames who has had injury bad luck recently but we’re all rooting for him with a flurry of pompoms!

⭐️Back in the UK,    LadyGault will be tackling the Royal Parks Half Marathon

⭐️ And last, but absolutely not least,    Marymumto2 will be undertaking the Lydney Sprint Triathlon

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Thanks everyone. I've arrived in Chicago - rather jet lagged. Expo today to collect bibs. Feeling a combination of excitement, terror and serious maranoia.
