Letβs make it a fabulously loud send-off to 2023 as we wave a final flourish of pompoms for these amazing VRBs as they head out to their races this weekend.
βοΈOn Saturday, aliboo70 will be tackling The Abominable Snowman with a choice of distances, either a 10K or a 10 miler. The organisers say, βwhichever distance you choose, it will be wet, it will be muddy, it will be cold and it will be steepβ. Ohβ¦.erβ¦.
There will be natural obstacles which will make for the most challenging of extreme cross-country runs. What a way to end 2023. Indeed!
Gird your loins and go forth Ali. We are right with you and we know youβll do it πͺ
βοΈ On Sunday we see Jogger22 running the amazing San Silvestre Vallecana 10K in Madrid. This road race has been around since 1964 and has a fun run as well as an elite run. Apparently it is one of the cityβs foremost annual running events and promises a great atmosphere and a memory to treasure.
Weβd love to have a race report afterwards Jogger.
βοΈ Also on Sunday Time_Lord will be running the Shrewsbury NYE Midnight Run. Howβs this for an atmospheric run? On the stroke of midnight on NYE the runners will start their runs as they make their way through fireworks and sounds of βAuld Lang Syneβ. What a fabulous way to start a new year! Enjoy it all TL and soak up the atmosphere.
What a finish to the year that will be! Crikey Ali the Abominable Snowman sounds tough, Valencia sounds altogether nicer Jogger. The thought of the NYE run at midnight gives me goosebumps - what an awesome way to start the New Year TL. Good luck to you all. Enjoy, then tell us all about it π
Thanks Linda, not done this for a few years,have downgraded to the 10k with a group of Tuesday club friends for company ! Have tweaked my back a bit but hoping to make it round. The pond us no longer a feature of the race! π€£πxxx
Thanks everyone for the pompoms, not done this one for a few years, doing the 10k . Bet it'll be muddy but fun, hoping my tweaky back will hold out ! Last time they had tequila shots as well on the water tables!Good luck Jogger22 and Time_Lord on your races too xxx
Have great runs aliboo70 Jogger22 and Time_Lord . The Abominable Snowman run sounds pretty scary, even without the pond. Looking forward to reading the reports πππππππ
Wow thatβs quite a lineup of runs. They all sound amazing! Have a great time aliboo70 , Jogger22 and Time_Lord πππ pom poms waving wildly πππ
Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Much appreciated. I'm glad to hear that aliboo70 loved her run. That's good news indeed. Good luck tomorrow Time_Lord I hope you have fun. Happy new year all and may you have many enjoyable runs in 2024! π
I missed aliboo70 , but good luck to Jogger22 and Time_Lord . I hope you get a siesta in before that NYE midnight run, but it sounds brilliant. And Madrid is bound to be warmer than here!
