I haven’t gone completely crazy! I know that it is Wednesday night and thus a bit early for Friday Pom Poms, but I have a ship to catch tomorrow, a train from the South West to North East on the following day and I am not about to trust the hotel WIFI for this important post.
We have two intrepid runners (so far) who are racing this weekend.
EDIT: make that three!!!
We have:
🌟 Time_Lord who, fresh from being signed off by her physio, is running a second race in a week! This the Stanley Park 10k in Liverpool on Saturday 6 July. The medal looks stunning, and there is a short video on the web site which gives a flavour of the event. Tread carefully Time_Lord and continue your post rehab programme. 🙂
🌟 in Canada, Decker (one of our admins until recently), running a 27k trail race through a beautiful forest a one and a half hour drive from Toronto
Then we have:
🌟 RunWillie our VRB and regular correspondent from Australia running her first marathon race on Sunday 7 July. This is the huge Gold Coast Marathon which starts at 6:15 am AEST, which I think is nine hours ahead of us (it gets hot out there!) and involves thousands of runners from across Australia. The route is described as fast and flat with views of the ocean; in this case I am sure that is 100% accurate. The later stages of RunWillie’s prep was disrupted by Covid-19, and she has a five hour flight to get to the starting line, but she is one determined runner and will give this her all!
So we need extra vigorous waving of Pom Poms, and the loudest of shouts to reach around the world via Liverpool to cheer our two stars on to the finish of their races! Run well both, and come back safe. We are with you every step of the way.
What a great couple of races and racers we have this coming weekend, I'll put my pom poms out to air, ready for both Saturday and Sunday. Good luck both and have fun 😊
Well done for taking the time out on holiday to write a pom Pom post Beachcomber66 .
Good luck to RunWillie running your first chip timed marathon. In fact is this your first chip-timed race of any distance? Pommy poms poms waving Up Over.
And pom-poms also waving for Time_Lord . So pleased that the physio has done the trick and you are fit to race.
Looking forward to race reports when you’ve recovered. 🥇🥇
Not many sleeps left now RunWillie I should imagine the excitement is mounting. Have a really special time in everyday. A first marathon! Wow and double wow! And Time_Lord two races in week! Astounding you are much stronger than me I hope all goes really well. Good to know you continue to be a super runner Decker here's to really good run. Pom poms waving from our mini holiday in the Scottish borders. 😊🏃♀️🎉🏃🏻♂️🎉🏃🏻♀️😊
All the best of luck to everyone running especially RunWillie on your marathon! That is a massive milestone for you I know. Enjoy this day and these memories.
