(Blatant showing off of medals alert 🤣)

I’ve been wondering what to do with our bling for ages. My little sconce they were hanging from was nice but no one but me could see them and much as I like the specially made hangers on Amazon/Ebay we really needed a one size fits all hanger. So whilst we were socially distancing in B&Q on Friday I found this board and they are now proudly hanging up in the downstairs loo. Just needs Katnap’s medals now 😊

Ooooo look at that TC - awesome! 😍😍 What a great idea. 👍😀

Yeah, I just couldn’t make my mind up on the fancy ones. There wasn’t one suitable for both of us and the medals should speak for themselves really. And it has the added bonus of being a lot cheaper! 😁

You’ve inspired me to do something about mine too. They’re all bunched up on a pretty retro ceramic “J” hook but no-one can see them individually. I only have 7 but I’m proud of them all. ❤️

And so you should be, particularly any from this year as they are rare as hens teeth. I have about the same as you cheeky but I may fish out my two very old Flora Light Run medals to pad it out a bit as they’ve never been on show! Great stuff 👍👍🏅🏅🏅

Yes fish those babies out TC. 👍 They were well earned and need to be out on show with the rest! 🎉

I feel like I should say I have 6 really, as I got 2 for the Bath HM - one from them and the “I Ran It Anyway” 13.1m one. But no, it’s staying! Can’t mess with bling can you? 😅 🏅

😁Definitely not, you earned both of them whichever way you look at it. Think of all the people who didn’t do it anyway!👍

Yes indeed. They didn’t earn a medal did they? 👍

I remember yours IP, it’s lovely! With lockdown ours aren’t going to groan for a very long time so I just thought we should go for it. Good luck with it 👍😊

Brilliant set of bling. Visitors will be able to give them all their undivided attention if we are ever allowed into each others house again. Happy running 🤗

Happy running to to you GH 😊

I seem to remember that pop stars used to put their gold records on their toilet walls, so it seemed appropriate 😁 Hopefully we’ll have visitors again one day, otherwise it might just be the plumber!

A great find TC. I’ve been looking for something suitable as mine are hanging on my full length mirror. The hangers I’ve seen are a bit twee but this is great.

I know exactly what you mean Dexy, this is nice and simple.

Ooo that's a nice haul of medals 🏅 and definitely need to be visible... hopefully by someone... soon!!! Although it's amazing how quickly the thought of going into someone elses home seems strange!

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply to Mum22boys

You’re right there M. There were supposed to be quite a few more by now too, only one is from this year 😩 just got to keep this running lark going haven’t we?

Mine are still hanging over my reading lamp. Really must do something about them too!

TailChaserGraduate10 in reply to Sandie1961

Yes, otherwise your reading lamp will get lower and lower Sandie, and you have to make way for next years 🤞🤞🤞

Great collection of medals TC, but why have them in the loo, have them hanging in the hall where visitors entering the house will know that they have entered a runner's house, you can proudly show them to everyone who visits you.

TailChaser profile image
TailChaserGraduate10 in reply to AlMorr

I did think about that Al but they’ll get dustier in there and...😱faded😱. The downstairs loo is like a cupboard and then they will be fresh as a daisy when we finally get visitors again 😊

That’s a great look TC! And a great way of brightening up the loo as well!

TailChaserGraduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns

Exactly OG! I was going to get a picture but these are much more decorative and will hopefully get updated occasionally 😊

Thanks Fab! Katnap has just added his medals but there is still some space, we just need the events to return🤞🤞🤞
