Pointless yet satisfying bling arrived

Well a number of weeks ago I tried out the virtual runner medal program that I’ve heard some people chat about here. There were no 10ks left to do, so I signed up for a 10 mile race...but it only had to be done in 3 or 4 days, not all at once😀 . I didn’t realize that is what I’d be doing with the 10 program anyway by that time, so I got this lovely medal for simply continuing the 10k program a couple of weeks ago 😀. My wife thinks I am lame but I don’t care! I have bling!!

I may have just signed up for some Wonder Woman bling. Totally your fault. Just saying.

I’m pretty sure the Wonder Woman medal deflects bullets and comes with an invisible plane so...your welcome!!

Yeay!! Well done you...:)

When I got my first bling, also through Virtual Runner... I was equally delighted.. :)

Virtual races are all I shall ever do..but like you, we are doing it and a small fee goes to the charity too... well done :)

Not all I'm sure floss ,I'm still working on you!!! 😊

But anyway virtual runs are just as good and often have the nicest bling (you should see the Christmas one I signed up to last night!!)😊

Sure, why not, right? 😀 Think I will hear about it if it becomes too much of a habit though 😁 I signed up for a 10k actual race coming up in a week or so too.

Thanks Ali, yes these virtual medals are nicer than the real race medals, but I only have 5k medals for minor races here. There is a popular 10k next week. Maybe thats a nice one? 😀

Good morning Decker ! Hey! Bling is bling ! Sooo! Good for you!👏🏅🏃

Happy running! 😀😀

Bling is NEVER pointless 😏

I had a feeling you would be in favour of the idea!! 😁

Congratulations. I like the bling. It’s really significant having 2017 on it. You will be able to look at it for many years and the medal will remind you of all you achieved in 2017.

Yes thats true Damien. Going to need all the help I can get to remember things soon enough. The memory is fading almost as fast as my eyesight!

Well done! 😃If you do the work you deserve the bling. If your wife thinks it lame challenge her to a duel; a running one a that is 🙂🏃🏃‍♀️🏅✔️

Haha maybe I should, but she would certainly out-distance me as she walks like crazy! I would be left in the dust. 😁
