Pointless yet satisfying bling arrived

[Decker]

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!!

You deserve a medal Decker. Well done.😊x

[Decker in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

haha - yeah, sure why not, right? thanks Jan

Sweet bling!

[Decker in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I know, right? 🙂

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Decker]

Which virtual running site did you use?

[Decker in reply to SaskAlliecat]

I used this uk one: virtualrunneruk.com

I love the bling!!!

[Decker in reply to ejvcruns]

Me too! Its nicer than the two actual run medals I have!

[ejvcruns in reply to Decker]

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

[Decker in reply to ejvcruns]

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

[aliboo70 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

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!!)😊

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to aliboo70]

Oooohhh Christmas Bling! I need to research :)x

[Decker in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Floss, yes this was for a wildlife charity which was very nice. There are so many virtual races!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

You are the bling king Decker ....!!! Doesn’t matter what it’s for..it’s bling so be proud!!! 😉

[Decker in reply to Mummycav]

Bling is my thing...😎

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

You’re getting the mileage in, you deserve the rewards! Well done!

[Decker in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

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.

[aliboo70 Graduate10]

Decker that's a lovely medal! 😊

[Decker in reply to aliboo70]

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! 😀😀

[Decker in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Peggy! Yes Bling is bling as Irishprincess would say, so why not? 😁

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Nice! 🙂

[Decker in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks Sandra 🙂

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Bling is NEVER pointless 😏

[Decker in reply to Irishprincess]

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

[damienair Administrator]

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.

[Decker in reply to damienair]

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!

[misswobble Graduate10]

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 🙂🏃🏃‍♀️🏅✔️

[Decker in reply to misswobble]

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

[misswobble Graduate10]

I out-walk my old man too even after my half marathon the other day 💪😁

[Decker in reply to misswobble]

Wow! You should get bling just for that!!

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

How can you say it's pointless? It's bling! Well done!

[Decker in reply to Anniemurph]

Thats true!

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Very nice 👍😊🎖🏅

[Decker in reply to skysue16]

its surprisingly nicely made too - not the prettiest medal they had, but it was available so I jumped on it
