FRIDAY POM-POMS CHEERING SQUAD HEAD HERE!! 🥳📣👍

[Irishprincess]

What would we do without you? Our arms must be toned to perfection with all the pompom waving we’ve done this year so far! But there’s no time to rest yet as we have two fabulous VRBs with events this Sunday.

🌟 Less than a month after an amazing run at the Chicago Marathon, 00marks will be taking it easy (😂) by heading to the start line of yet another 26.2 miles run, the iconic New York City Marathon! He got a lottery place on the back of his brilliant performance in Chicago and couldn’t turn it down.

What a race location this is 00marks! Wishing you loads of luck and fun 🍀

🌟 From the US to the UK now and Hedgehogs123 will be taking on the 3 Rivers 15 Challenge. This is 15 miles across country following the rivers Slea, Skirth and Witham in Lincolnshire. It sounds a gorgeous route Hedgehogs so enjoy it all and savour every moment.

Thank you, you'll be pleased to know, I will definitely be taking it steady, particularly as it very wet and windy!!🌧️☺️..

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Oh wow, windy (and most like wet again) West Country pom-poms are vigorously waving for you two epic rockstars (stolen unashamedly from Coach B)!

Run, bling, happiness, pride. ❤️

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Have a great time Hedgehogs123 and 00marks . You are both taking on terrific challenges, but with the force of HU behind you, you will definitely prevail. Looking forward to the post match analysis 👏👏👏👏👏

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

oh wow  00marks , how brilliant to get a place in the New York Marathon - the very best of luck to you.

It’s good to hear that  Hedgehogs123 can still take part in a race at the weekend. Take it easy hogs, and remember “Complete not Compete”

Soggy pom-poms waving in strong winds.

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Aww thank you. I'm being supported by our running club,so there will be a bit of walking I think as not sure my energy levels will last for the full 15 miles!

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Pom Poms prepared to wave madly... They may be soggy here tomorrow , but they will still be waved! Run safe, Run Well, RUN HAPPY ! x

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Two top races there! Good luck to you both 00marks and Hedgehogs123 😁💪xxx

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Pom-poms waving for both of you! Two exciting races - looking forward to the race reports already! Good luck!👏🙂

[lexi6 10 Miles]

Massive races Hedgehogs123 and 00marks Whoo hoo! have a great time!

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Have great runs 00marks and Hedgehogs123 . Pom poms waving wildly for you and everyone running this weekend 🎉🎉🎉

[Fiadh79]

Both of these sound amazing! Good luck!

[00marks Marathon]

Thanks everyone. I really do appreciate the support. I'm in NYC and this morning did a shakeout run in Central Park organised by Tracksmith - they provided free coffee, muffins and croissants! It helped calm the nerves although I do have a bad case of imposter syndrome. Everyone seems to be much younger than me and with so many people wearing Boston marathon outfits its easy to be intimidated. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to 00marks]

Ooh so exciting! You're no imposter and have earned the right and worked hard to be there.

Your VRBs are beside you all the way cheering and waving loads of support and good wishes. You’ve got this.

Enjoy it all and as you go through the miles just think of what you're going to say in your race report 🙂

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to 00marks]

It sounds absolutely amazing, have a wonderful run!

[Katnap Marathon in reply to 00marks]

Nah mate! You earned that spot! Enjoy! Tailchaser and I are watching NYC marathon on the telly!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to 00marks]

Oh give over! There’ll be runners of all ages there 😀

Enjoy yourself ! It’s a run of a life time 🙂

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Thank you everyone, because of ongoing medical issues, I have said I will walk some of the miles, supported by a few from our running club, so we'll all be running together, hopefully not getting too wet, or swept into any of the rivers! 😁🌧️🌧️

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Good luck 🍀

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Enjoy yourself out there. I hope it’s fine and dry 😀👍🏃‍♀️

Sounds like a lovely route 😍

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Hope I'm not too late with my waving! How exciting 00marks but I can't imagine running another marathon so soon! Good luck! Hedgehogs123 your race sounds lovely! Enjoy it and hope it's not too wet!

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Amazing 🤩 well done 00marks and Hedgehogs123 👍👏
