A bit of bling

I am doing a Run the Year challenge for charity: I completed C25k at New Year and I wanted something to keep the motivation and habit of regular running going. I am signed up to the team challenge so I have to do 200 miles over the year: I now have my base medal and first (magnetic) section as after today’s run I will have covered 80 miles over the past three months. Feeling pleased with myself 😊 And, yes, there are people who do 1000 miles individually 😱

They do monthly medals but you have to run 100 miles for one of them 😱

There are lots of websites who do similar things for different mileage and periods of time

Ooh, I won't be running 100 miles in a month any time soon! Will check out some of the sites. :))

I had a little look to see if parkrun recognise tourism in any way: didn’t find anything official, unfortunately
