Raise those rested arms - pompoms are go again! 📢🥇🏃🎽👟

[linda9389]

Hello runny friends!!! We've had a week off and I trust you are well rested and ready to go again.

I will be in good company, as we have some lovely VRBs racing this weekend.

At the time of writing, everyone we know of will be heading for their respective start lines on Sunday, so, without further ado, would you raise those pompoms and give your loudest cheer:

⭐️First up, we have the terrific trio TailChaser , Katnap and Shake-and-run who will once again be tackling that hilly 10k (this time the fourth run of five) in The Tempo Winter Series, no doubt hoping for a tailwind up the hill (that late start looks to guarantee some blustery weather). Hope you have a wonderful time, have something creative lined up for the sausage reward, and just know the hoody is almost yours - don't forget we love your race reports too 🥰

⭐️Next we have the magnificent Mudita11 , out for the second time this month. This time she will be running the Romsey 5 mile, a flat race in the beautiful grounds of the Broadland Estate with a superb medal to boot - what's not to love?Hopefully you'll be back before the wind really picks up. Have a great one Mudita, do tell us all about it 😊

⭐️And then, being up the rear we have Couchpotato2 and myself jogging around the Farnborough Winter Half, fighting some pretty blustery winds if the forecast is to believed. Billed as the coolest race in the UK (cold temperatures, not😎) we're approaching it as less of a race, more a shameless bling quest 🤷‍♀️. With cake and hot drinks at the end, there's quite an incentive to make that finish line!!!

If we’ve missed anyone with an event this coming weekend or in the next week, then do let us know below.

Racing or not, running or not, have a great week everyone.

Your Team, Irishprincess, Beachcomber66 and Linda9389 xxx

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Good luck all you wonderful runners! 🙂👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️ It does look as though as the temperature rises a little, the wind moves in…but you’re runners…you’re tough😬and we are cheering you all the way!

I’m interested to hear how the Farnborough Half is linda9389 , as this is one that I have looked at in the past as it’s not too far from me (assuming I can ever build my distance up that much again! 🤷‍♀️😂🏃‍♀️).

Enjoy!🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

I don't know the area at all, but am not sure how pretty it's going to be - it's either on or around the airfield the whole way!!!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Yes, but I think it’s fairly flat!!😂

[Cmoi Marathon]

Happy running, all!

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

I'll be waving madly from here, have fun all racers and enjoy the post run medals

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Pom-poms shaking in a very cool, but thankfully dry Dordogne 🇫🇷 Good luck all and enjoy your bling (and toad in the hole 😂)

[Joster Half Marathon]

Gosh, quite a few outings on Sunday there! Hope the wind is in your favour/on your back at least some of the time, good luck everyone.

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Pom poms waving furiously from here oop in the frozen north. Well done the sausage muncher 3; I think I need some sausages to keep my body temperature up…so if there are any spare bangers around, I am your man. Mudita11 enjoy your run down there in River Test territory; I would probably abandon the run and slope off to enjoy watching trout! Last but definitely not least Couchpotato2 and linda9389 (one of my two new bosses so have to keep her sweet 👍) have a wonderful day🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

A grateful colleague, I think you mean 🙏

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Ok boss, anything you say 😂. For the record it is a pleasure to be part of this lovely team 😍

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Good luck to you all... May the weather be perfect for you! Pom pom waving!

[PaulS83 Ultramarathon]

Well done all. Good luck and enjoy!

I did Farnborough HM in 2021 when they moved in to July because of Covid. A really well organised event. Mainly flat, with a little bit of elevation. Lovely and warm as I seem to remember...

Get that bling!

[misswobble Marathon]

Yay! Here we go again! Well, here you all go again I should say 😀

Have fun out there everyone. I hope the bling and post run grub make turning out into the cold worthwhile 😁

Pom poms a-go-go 💪😀🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️❄️🥶🏅🧁🍰🍩☕️🫖

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Run and have fun everyone! Hoist that bling aloft and/or munch those bangers, and hopefully you’ll have non-Arctic conditions. ❤️

[TailChaser Marathon]

Oh dear, is it that time to run up the hill again?! 😂 At have the added impetus of getting to choose our hoody size this month, so a surprisingly good bit of encouragement!

Good luck also to linda9389 ,  Mudita11 and  Couchpotato2 and everyone else out there this weekend. If it’s a windy one, here’s hoping we get blow round and up by a tailwind 🤞🤞🤞 🥳🥳🥳

[Week7 Half Marathon]
