Well the title says it all ! the postman delivered my December 50 mile Challenge medal and running top this morning and very nice they are too.

Maybe I was a bit ambitious ordering a size large compression running top as it’s as tight as a coat of paint, and makes me look like a cross between The Flash⚡️and a badly packed sausage 😂 but the medal is lovely.

Have yet to go out for a run in 2021, haven’t had the energy, with all that’s going on, but hoping to do so soon.

Happy Running Everyone 👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Oh that’s so funny, cross between Flash and a badly packed sausage 😀made me smile Lovely to have it and a good medal too

I haven’t run this week either, wanted to but didn’t before my vaccine and been bit tired and achey since

Also it’s icy and work has been busy

I bought Willow a spider-man top last autumn never thinking he would actually wear it, it looks great from the back, lessso sideways on 😀 but is good under a fleece in winter

🤣🤣🤣That's so funny!

It did say they were close fitting on the website

Oh wow 🤩 Nice! Looks great! I haven’t yet received medals or race-branded tops, but 2021 is the year! I’m working on my first medal as we speak... or not quite right now but this week😆✔️

Nice! Big congrats!

Thank You 😊

Nice one, good luck with your first medal, is it a Race at Your Pace January one ?

I signed up to two Conqueror races: I’m (indoor) rowing the English Channel and I’m running or walking Hadrian’s Wall! That’ll keep me busy! 🤣🤣 But Your Pace looks great, I had a look at the website. 👍🏽✔️ And i do think it’s a great way to get running tops!

Congratulations on the Medal Couchphoenix 🏅... shame re the top glad to see you have a sense of humour re the poor sizing...Hope you feel up to getting back out soon

It's difficult to muster the energy when your dealing with lot of emotional stuff ...plus these weather conditions don't help..

Actually felt like it this morning only to discover no change due to ice.. then by time finished work icy again..

Sending you love n strength x

Thank you D-F, it is difficult to muster the energy at the moment to be honest, feeling drained, but I miss running so I will definitely get back out there soon even if it’s for a shorter run to begin with just to keep my hand in 👍🏃‍♂️

Well done you..... and what a fab medal. I haven’t been on the forum much at all over the past month due to work commitments, so I read your previous posts and was so sorry to read about your loss. I hope that 2021 is brighter for you. I’m sure when you are ready you will be back out there earning more medals 😊

Thank you for your kind words Dups, I do appreciate those.

The Race at Your Pace medals are really nice, I’d set myself a 30 mile challenge in December, which I later increased to 50.

I’ll definitely get back out there as I enjoy my running and love a bit of running bling.

That pic looks just like the one I posted the other day- but with 28.04 miles on it ( I planned for 25miles) - but my pic didn't show up on here!- I was sad about that, I must have posted it incorrectly?- the medal is wonderful isn't it - my first bit of Bling and I've booked 35 miles for January - hope I can get to 50 like you - ONE DAY!

I wonder why the pic didn’t show up 🤔 normally if you tap on the little camera icon and import it, it just appears, it must have been having an off day that day.

Congratulations on your first bit of running bling 👏🏻👏🏻and good luck with your 35 mile January challenge, they’re lovely medals, it’s nice to set yourself a goal, it keeps things interesting. I’m sure you’ll reach 50 miles in the future. Do you use the Nike Run Club App, that’s a freebie and ideal for consolidation runs👍

I’ve just had a look at your post and the pic has appeared now 😁

Yes I use the nike run club app, I find it really good. I'll go look ok for my picture, thank you

This did make me chuckle. The ‘coat of paint’ got me good but then the ‘sausage’ description tipped me over! 🤣🤣🤣

It really is a lovely bit of bling, well deserved 😍

Hope you’ve been doing ok. Plenty of time ahead for more medals down the line. Keep doing whatever feels right for you x

Thank you ACC I’m doing ok.....glad the description of my top made you chuckle, it’s true though! The medal is very nice, I love a bit of running bling as you know and will definitely be on the hunt for more this year. 🏅 🏃🏼
