IT’S FRIDAY! IT MUST BE POM-POMS TIME!! 🥳🥳📣🌟

[Irishprincess]

Happy Friday everyone! Please get those pom-poms prepped and ready to rumble to support our little group of runners this Sunday. We do hope that festive kit will be on show along with a bit of jingle and frosting to get us in the mood 🎄🎅❄️🥳

We have a bit of a food theme going on with our races this weekend!

🌟You’d think that a week after a HM some runners might want a bit of a rest. But no, our Ever-Ready-Trio of TailChaser , Katnap and Shake-and-run have no time to rest as they will be running a 10K race as part of the Tempo Winter Series, AKA The Sausage Runs 🌭This will be the third run of a total of five and promises yet more delicious sausages at the end for our intrepid runners 😋

We can’t wait to read all your race reports and see your fab photos. Photos of the sausages are optional 😂

🌟 Moving away from sausages to soup (shouldn’t that be the other way around? 🙂) we have our very own Isle of Wight runner, aliboo70 , taking on The Soup Run. This is a six mile multi-terrain “social” run with goodies of a souvenir, soup and a roll at the end. There will also be entry into a prize draw! That sounds like so much fun Ali. Good luck for the draw 🍀and we await your usual fab race report afterwards. And doesn’t that reference to “social” conjure up images of lots of happy, laughing runners 😊

We wish all our racers the very best of luck and loads of fun as they toe up at those start lines 🥳🥳👏🍀🥰

Have great runs aliboo70 , Katnap , TailChaser and Shake-and-run ( soup first, sausages to follow). I hope that it is not too muddy out there. The water jump at the start of my favoured trail is still there. 🏊‍♂️

Whoop whoop Irishprincess , it sounds like running for food is the name of the game this weekend. Have fun TailChaser , Katnap , Shake-and-run in Stratford upon Avon and aliboo70 across the water on the Isle of Wight.

Shake-and-run and I are also still working on our 12 Runs of Christmas with festive challenges, and I have now ticked off 4 runs and 2 walks. The distances have not been great, with Christmas preparations in flow, but so far so good.

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Well done Dexy, I’ve 6 runs under my belt so far. It is going to be a tight one to cross line, as it is so busy now until Christmas. Keep going Dexy we will get there!!!

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Shake-and-run]

You’ll be sleighing it!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

We see what you did there 🤭

I love the idea of soup and a roll after a winter’s run  aliboo70 , much more immediate relief than a toad in the hole! Have a great run! 👏👏👏 Thanks everyone and all the best to everyone else with their runs this weekend 🥳🥳🥳🥳
