Friday Pom Pom Shout Starts Here 🎉🥳🍾🪩

[Beachcomber66]

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. 🙂

EDIT: and

🌟  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.

From your team:     Irishprincess     linda9389 and me 🙂🍾

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.

Here is your bright shiny well earned Marathon badge, which you so richly deserve! I am so happy to wake up to this news 🙂. You overcame so much to achieve this. Your family will be so proud, as are we, but the main thing is be proud of yourself. I will reserve further comment until I have read your race report, when you have time and energy to put one together….but there you are; you are a Marathon Runner. Just wonderful 🍾🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunWillie]

Never in doubt. Just awesome. Rest well and wallow in your achievement!
