Friday pom poms are go!!! 📢👏🥳🎉

[linda9389]

Hello all you lovely VRBs. That's it, another week has passed and it's Friday once again!

This weekend we have two awesome runners heading for the start line; one on Saturday and one on Sunday. They could use our support, so please, let's get assembled and ready to offer some serious cheer, some fabulous pompom waving and some awesome support!

🌟On Saturday  Reggit will venture out to run his second 10k race this month - the Wesham 10k; will the undulating lanes of the North West's oldest 10k be the setting for a sub 1hour 10k? We're all hoping this is the one Reggit - go, go, go 🤩

🌟Then on Sunday we have  misswobble who will be running the Cleethorpes Maravan ; no stranger to this event (which is run around a large caravan park), Miss W already knows it will be windy. It's also forecast to be wet and by Sunday, the already wet ground will be well churned up by the Saturday marathon runners! Still, at least it's not far home to a bath and a change of clothes. Just stay upright and you'll be fine MissW😅

Is there anyone else with a race this coming week? If you’d like a pompom cheer and a little extra support, then let us have the details in the comments below.

Have a great weekend everyone 🥰

how did you find a photo of pom poms in a caravan Linda? 😂

Very best of luck to    misswobble for running a marathon around a caravan park. I don’t even like running on firm grass on a parkrun, let alone a marathon on sodden and churned up grass. You are amazing!

Have fun on your 10k    Reggit and good luck on getting a sub 1 hour.

Thank you 👍

[RunWillie Marathon]

Cheering for you Reggit & misswobble ❤️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[misswobble Marathon in reply to RunWillie]

Thanks RW 👍😀

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Good luck to you Reggit for your sub 60 minutes 10K and all the best misswobble on running a marathon on sodden churned grass around a caravan park, that will be very tiring for you.

[misswobble Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al! 🙂👍

It’s usually wet and muddy underfoot but I’ve never run it in heavy rain. Praying to the weather Gods this morning 🙂🙏

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Good luck both of you and misswobble please say hello to my fellow Market Rasen parkrunners from Caistor Running Club!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Lovely bunch 🥰🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Good luck both and hope the rain stays away. Pom poms waving from here

[misswobble Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Me too 😘👍😀

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

good luck Reggit and Misswobble. Enjoy your runs, bask in your achievements and show off that bling

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

The medal doubles as a bottle opener. They also interlock if you win two medals by running the double. Not that I will be 😁🏃‍♀️

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Priorities 🍺😆...have fun out there 😊👌

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Run46]

I’m exciting by a bottle opener. I don’t even drink! 😁😁😁🫖☕️

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

😂👌

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Aaaah good luck Reggit for your sub 1hr 10k you can do it! 🏃‍♂️💪And be thinking of you misswobble on your annual maravan! I just showed Kenny and he said that would be his ideal race as he loves laps!

Head down and keep on going!!! 😊🏃‍♀️👌💪

[misswobble Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Food table every lap You know me and food tables ☺️😋. You and Kenny next year! 💪👍😀

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Good luck Reggit and misswobble 🍀🍀

May the wind be at your back, the weather fair and your feet have wings.

Have a blast and bring back the blings 🥳🥳🏅🏅

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Oooh will do IP. Your wish is my command 🪄😀🏃‍♀️🏅

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Have great runs Reggit and misswobble . I never did crack the 10k in less than an hour; hope you make it Reggit.

misswobble, beware of super soakers, although I think the predicted cold weather might keep any self respecting ninja at home! Enjoy your traditional post run nosh-up.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Same as me Beachcomber66, I have run 44/10Ks but never sub 60 minutes, what I found wasn't fair was at the only 10K race I ran, although I enjoyed the run the photographer never took any photos of runner's running over 60 minutes, once the 60 minute pacer passed he stopped taking photos of the rest of the runners.

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

I think that we have to blame the organisers Al; likely they were only prepared to pay for an hour for some unfathomable reason. Either that or photographer’s battery ran out(or at least the one in his camera did!). Whatever, it clearly took the shine off the event for you which is really disappointing. Their loss 👍

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Could be, BC66, at some parkruns I attend I notice that the photographer only takes photos of the sub 30 minutes runners, however, one time he did extend his time to 32 minutes when I ran in a time of 31:58, I was the last runner he took a photo of.

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Timed to perfection 🙂

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to AlMorr]

boo

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Ta 😀👍. I think it will be straight to the chippy from the course as the hotel lifts are broken down ☺️ 😑. If I’m malodorous I can blame the haddock 😎

My top fan is not going to be there at the finish. His bro will be there to run a bit of the last leg with me. If I get that far that is 🫣🌊🌫💦💨

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

You will misswobble. Tough as old boots!! 🙂👍

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

I’ve paid for it! End of 💪😁

[Joster Half Marathon]

Good luck!

I'm doing (well, attempting) an unofficial 10km (ie. just me and my Garmin!) on Sunday - not quite sure if the legs are ready, but the visual of the pom poms in the caravan may just be the positive thinking I need to do it!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Joster]

We'll be with you. Cheering you on. Bon courage!!!

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Joster]

It will be cold over the weekend I think. My short run will definitely be steady!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Joster]

Actually, I have a 13k on Sunday. I'll run with you and my Garmin. We can encourage each other 🤩

[Joster Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Well, that's the ticket - see you there! x

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Joster]

Those runs are lovely! Run somewhere scenic if poss and treat yourself at the end

Bon voyage and good luck 👍😀🏅

[Joster Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Sausage baguette with my name on it to undo all the good work!

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon]

Have fun! Pom poms will be waving in Derbyshire! It really doesn't seem a year since you completed this last misswobble Shaking my head at your inspiring running 😊🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[misswobble Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks 🙂👍. At this time of year the weather is always a concern. I’m hoping to goodness it’ll be fine 🙏

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Good luck you intrepid duo! Reggit , go smash that sub 1 hour 10k and tell us all about it because it’s something it’s unlikely I’ll ever achieve! And misswobble , you’re a superstar. Simple as that. I can’t even fathom what you’re about to do - but you’ll do it! 👏👏👏👏

Have fun guys, and savour the bling. 🏅 🏅

[misswobble Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you CC 😀👍

I’m looking forward to it 😉😁

[TailChaser Marathon]

All the very best to you Reggit and misswobble - judging by the temperature I suspect you’ll both be wearing gloves (following on from a comment I’ve just read from misswobble!)! Wildly shaking Pom poms for you both (& to keep warm!!) 🥳🥳🥳

[misswobble Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Gloves! I’m hoping not to need them😀🙏.

[Cmoi Marathon]

Happy running Reggit and misswobble !

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Cheers CM 🙂👍🏃‍♀️

[lexi6 10 Miles]

Whoo hoo! Pom poms waving from NZ Good luck and have fun!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to lexi6]

Thank you 🙂👍

[misswobble Marathon]

Thanks you 😀👍

Got a phone call from hotel last night to say the lift is broken down and asked if we’re ok with climbing stairs 😁.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to misswobble]

😍😍😍

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Before or after? 😩

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

I’m trying not to think about it 🫣

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Woohoo have great runs  misswobble and  Reggit ! Pom poms are waving for you from the south coast 🎉🎉🎉

[misswobble Marathon]

Ta! 🙂👍😘

I was in the south coast last weekend. Not running unfortunately. Gosh it was windy down there 💨🙂

[misswobble Marathon]

good luck Reg! Have fun 😀🏃‍♂️🏅

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Good luck both of you! It's frosty here today so maybe that'll firm up the ground a bit 😬 Pom poms aloft here!

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

I noticed my neighbour scraping the ice off the car earlier. Sun is out now though 😎.

I hope you’re right about the ground conditions 🤞🙂

[Freecloud Marathon]

Best of luck to both!

[Reggit Marathon]

Thank you …. The sub 1 hour was finally cracked. Full write up and waffle in the main forum.
