INTERNATIONAL POM-POMS NEEDED THIS WEEK 🇺🇸 📣🤗

[Irishprincess]

At the time of posting we have only one runner this week. And it’s for a biggie!

⭐️Huge pompom waves and lots of support for 00marks who will be running the Boston Marathon on Monday. Boston is one of the seven World Marathon Majors and, if all goes ok, then 00marks will become a six star finisher. He got a qualifying time in Paris so he has the experience, the miles in his legs and huge support from his VRBs here to get him over that finish line.

The iconic Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest marathon, starting in 1897 with just 15 participants! This year, 30,000 are expected 😳 so it’s grown quite a bit! This year will also be the 250th anniversary of Patriot’s Day, so we imagine there will be lots of celebrations and parties during the day and beyond.

Good luck 00marks 🍀 We’re all cheering for you and wish you Bon Courage and a successful, joyful run.

⭐️ We’d also like to wish Shake-and-run good luck for two events she has in the coming week. On Monday she will be walking about 10 miles of Stage 4 of the Gloucester Way Walk no doubt taking in the glorious countryside and views.

Then, with not much of a rest, on Wednesday she will cycle 10 miles of Stage 1 of the Mad Goose Chase, described as “all about bikes, burgers and beers” apparently! The brewery is at the top of a “cheeky climb” but then the route home is downhill! Sounds loads of fun but also a bit dangerous Shakes 😳 especially after a few 🍻

A fair dollop of international superstars, rolling hills and New England weather; no problem for you 00marks . The crowds and the occasion will probably be inspiring, and for someone like me, scary at the same time. Have a great run and just enjoy every bit the event.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Good luck 00marks - this is so exciting and I wish you all the best for that 6th precious medal!

Best of luck to you too Shake-and-run , with both your walk and your cycle.🙂

And good luck Shake-and-run with your events, strong legs required for both of those challenges! 💪💚 xxx

Thanks BC . I can assure you that alcohol consumption and bikes is not a good mix for me so I will be sticking to water !! 🤣🤣
