Incredible numbers of repdigit reppers this week β I’m beginning to wonder if thereβs a way to get these elusive tokens deliberately!? Well, I know that where thereβs a will, thereβs a way! Fantastic repping, everyone, brilliant turnouts and great times. Letβs try to get another sub 30 next week as club average! Keep running and repping the green and black. And if you canβt run, try volunteering ππ€Apologies if Iβve made any errors or missed any incredible feats. Have a wonderful week and remember to add to Mikeβs mid-week poll! hasta la prΓ³xima semana ππ€ π±ππ€πΏππ€βππ€οΈπππ€
