Yep, yep, yep - it's Friday and we have work to do!

Hey up lovely running friends! It's a relatively quiet weekend, but your pompoms can't rest just yet.

Here's your chance for a break though - put down the wrap and tape, lay aside the cards and put any last minute shopping on hold for a moment or two; grab your pompoms and let us assemble in an orderly group for we have a terrific twosome who could use our cheers this Sunday!

⭐      TailChaser and    Shake-and-run will be taking a break from their own Christmas shopping and running the Birmingham Running Festival 10K in support of Birmingham Hospice, 'running along paths previously trod by the likes of Mo Farah and other Team GB athletes' in the lovely Sutton Park national nature reserve. Choose your forecast carefully, and it looks like conditions will be perfect😅

Edit: TC didn't manage to get an entry before the race sold out, so please wave your pompoms extra hard for Shkes as she will be running the event alone

Carb loading may not be quite as much fun in Birmingham as in Bordeaux, but that's no reason not to enjoy the run - have a blast ladies, we're right there cheering you on. Enjoy 🥰

Have we missed anyone? If you have a race this week, let us know in the comments and we will add you to our pompom shout out so you too can benefit from the extra support of your lovely VRBs.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

From your team      Beachcomber66 ,      Irishprincess and me 🙂

Good luck TC and Shakes 🍀 Have fun, cross finish line and get medal 👍

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Crikey, these two never stop! Have funTailChaser and Shake-and-run and bring back the Christmas bling. Don’t forget the star jumps and snow angels before and after the run! 😂

[TailChaser Marathon]

I am feeling very guilty. I tried to sign up to it late as I was dithering for too long. The Birmingham race is sold out so I won’t be running with the lovely Shake-and-run after all 😭 Big, massive Christmas pom poms will be shaking very hard for her and I will do a run but just at home, probably in something Christmassy but maybe not in my tutu.

Go get that bling Shakes!!!

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Just bad luck TC; your legs must be due a bit of down time anyway; but running with Shakes would have been great for both of you. 🙂

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Both those reasons are exactly why I dithered too long BC 😭

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Have a great run Shakes! Your feet will be falling softly on the trail of many other famous athletes. They will be honoured 🙂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

How lovely Shake-and-run , being the sole HU racer this weekend! You can bring back the bling for all of us. 🏅🎄❤️

Shame TailChaser , but your legs will love you! 😅
