It's Friday - time to fly, fly, fly 🏃👟🎽🥇

[linda9389]

Hey up lovely VRBs. It's Friday here in sunny Switzerland and that can mean just one thing - it's time for us to grab our pompoms, clear our throats and get ready to send a massive wave of support to our fellow runners who are heading for the start line this weekend.

We have an awesome group, all going out this Sunday 14th July:

🌟    First up we have the wonderful   Cowladyrunning who is running the Mic Morris 10k . Billed as a fast race with a downhill course which ends in the beautiful Pontypool Park, this should be a good one! micmorristrust.co.uk/Torfae...

🌟    Next, we have our speedy speedster   RunBrianRun who, all being well. will be competing in the Southern Athletics League 100 and 200m in preparation for the big event at the end of the month

southernathletics.org.uk/fi...

🌟 And finally, once again, we have the dynamic duo   TailChaser and   Katnap who 'being lazy' (TC's words, not mine) are taking on the Compton Verney 10k. Hopefully you get to skip the 'cheeky' hill that features at the end of the HM!

Have we missed anyone? If so, please let us know about your event below.

Have a blast out there everyone; we wish you all the very, very best. Fly like the hot air balloon that sailed overhead the other night! And please do let us know how you get on!!!

Happy weekend one and all🙂

Your team;      Irishprincess   Beachcomber66  and me xxxxxxx

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

woo hoo all you amazing runners. My Pom poms are busy today ( and yesterday) waving for my favourite riders as I stand on the roadside for stages 12 and 13 of the Tour de France. I will take care not to wear them out so I have some support left for our runners. Cow lady I really fancy your downhill 10k, I hope it lives up to its promise, Kats enjoy your local 10k pootle (I hope the weather is perfect), and Brian what an inspiration you are! Good luck guys.

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

Thank you! I'll let you know. Enjoy the tour de France - exciting!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

Thanks Shakes! Sounds like you’re having a great time! Yes, I think I prefer Cowlady’s run as well!! What is it with Tempo Events and making us suffer 🤣

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Ahh lovely races this weekend! I’ll be shaking my (TMI) snotty Bristolian pom poms for you while I don’t run at all until it’s cleared up. Got to love the grandchildren germs. 🤧😅

Enjoy everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Get well soon and I'll give your pom poms a wide birth I think 😂 I'm dodging school lurgy but usually hold out til last day of term then it often gets me 🙄

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Haha, I’ll make sure I waft them downwind of you CLR! 😅

I saw this post and went on to wave pom poms then realised I was mentioned!! I know I'm running Sunday but forgot I'd be mentioned 😂 thank you and good luck speedy Brian and always busy and speedy kats!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

You too!

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Enjoy sunny Switzerland Linda 🐐!

Well Cowladyrunning ; the fastest 10k on the planet!! 1 hour and three seconds last race….this could be a new record 🙂

I hope all is well for your two runs RunBrianRun ; Bastille day!! Need to be quick off the blocks (sorry!!).

As for TailChaser and Katnap , it’s about time they got themselves out for another run 😂. Looking at the maps, I think that the cheeky hill might feature…🧗‍♂️

Have a great weekend everyone.🙂

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Thank you! Who knows... My last speedy time was Cheddar down hill where I met lovely cheekychipmunks but I haven't run really since my Westonbirt 🙊

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

🤣🤣🤣 yep, you’re right 😩😩😩

[GTFC Marathon]

[Runnin-g Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone, you’ve got this! 💪🏽🏅

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone!

I’m battling a twinge I’m my back but I’m going along anyway and see how I feel in the warmup before deciding to run or not.

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

🤞 for you Brian 👍

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Hoping the twinge will not be a factor Brian. Best of luck to you!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Sending best wishes for that bothersome back Brian

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Hope you're ok 🙏

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Everything crossed Brian 🤞

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Best of luck everyone! Go get it!!

[TailChaser Marathon]

Whoop whooooop!! Big Pom poms here, waving them desperately for all those running and in the hope the momentum can get us up that hill! Yes, unfortunately, we still have that hill I believe. But we’ll have run a lot less before we get to it and it won’t be 30ºC like it was the last time we tried to run up it 🥵. Good luck everyone 😀

[Cowladyrunning Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

I bet you'll still be faster than me even when mine is all down hill 😂

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Oh I don’t know, we’ll see 😅

[Time_Lord Half Marathon]

Good luck & happy running everyone x

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Thank you everyone I took a codeine last night and it seems to have done the trick and mostly released the spasm. I’ll be at the meet tomorrow and hopefully a tailwind will help me along as I’ve been bumped down to #2 in the UK. Can’t be having that 😂

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles in reply to RunBrianRun]

Fingers crossed it all goes well Brian we are all wishing you swift running

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

😂 Just the stimulus you needed!! Go get him Brian .,,,,,,,,🏎️

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Absolutely BC! 😂😊👍💪

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Good luck with your runs! Pom Poms waving for you all 🎉🎉🎉
