THE BLING HAS ARRIVED 😬🏅

[Instructor57]

Well that was a surprise !

London vitality virtual 10000 run goodies have arrived !

Wasen't expecting them so soon .

My very first running medal 😬🏅😎🏃‍♂️

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Ooooh, well done, Ian! 👏👏👏👍

The Vitality 10,000 was my first medal, too! 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools 🏅😎I'm not one for collecting bling but it is nice to have 1 medal 😬

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

They look lovely, great colour for the T-shirt. Enjoy your bling. Happy running in your new top🤗

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks, and yes, I rather like the t shirt colour 😁👍

[Hidden]

Congrats Ian, you'll be jingling while running 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, I never thought ! Is it compulsory to run in them 🏅🤔🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Good grief yes ( hence the reason I choose to remain blingless 🤣) I'd stay away from the canal though as that weight it's gonna make you plummet to the bottom straight away 🤓

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha 🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden]

Fabulous bling and love the colours! Well done 😄

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you ! And yes, I like the colour also 😁

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Ooooo they look nice 👍🏻

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Yes, I rather like the shirt colour 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

That looks good Ian, as you know I also ran the London Vitality Virtual 10,000, after the run I got a e mail saying that I would get a medal and T Shirt sometime before July 19th, maybe the organisers are sending out the medals in alphabetical order, that way runners with surnames beginning with A will be first and and anyone with the letter X, Y, and Z will be last, my surname begins with the letter M, so perhaps I will get mine in early July.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Mine begins with 'O' 🤣I also had the email saying July 19th at the latest , so I guess youl get yours soon 😁👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Definitely not alphabetical order. 😊 🏃🏾 🎓

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Haha, 😁Probably just the order the runs were logged in

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

My surname starts with T Al - and I got mine today. 😀

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Well done, perhaps in the order you ran, I may have to wait as I ran the one I posted on the second last day. 😊 🏃🏾

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

We are initial T, so that blows your theory!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

It does indeed Sue, I will wait until mine arrives. 😊 🏃🏾

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Oooh fab bling 😍 The first one is always special, to be followed by more no doubt 🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Yes it's nice 😁Not sure I'm bothered about anymore but it's just nice to have one 😁

Anyway Hidden tells me it's compulsory to run in your medals, in slow enough without the extra weight 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I am sure it's not that heavy to weigh you down when running 🏃🏾

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

It is! The heaviest medal I have.

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

So, you haven’t got the bug yet then? 🏅🏅

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

I've been double vaccinated 🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

🤣🤣

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Some have the bug real bad IP ( 🙋‍♀️ ) 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I think Irish Princess has the most amount of blings on this forum.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes she has lots! I think I’m up to 16 now. 😀

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You are probably second in the amount of medels you have CC after Irishprincess.

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I don’t know what you mean Munks… 😂😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I’m not sure I understand that sentence Ian - “not sure I’m bothered about any more …” 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Lovely looking bit of bling there!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Very bright and shiny 😬😎

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Ah, lovely - you never forget your first medal!🏅😍🤣I love my running bling and have a nice little collection hanging in my kitchen under the notice board! Looking forward to adding my Vitality bling when it arrives!

Well done!🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Ooh you have quite a collection then 😁I'm sure you get yours soon 🤞👍

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Beware - it’s quite addictive…!😀🏅

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Brilliant, congratulations on your first medal! 🥇Thanks for posting, I ran to the front door after I saw your photo and guess what was waiting for me *bling bling bling* 🏅 😁😁😁

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Mine came today too. It went straight onto my medal display hanger. 😍😍😍

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Great !It's my first so no medal display hanger 🤣

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha, you never know 🤣

[00marks Graduate10]

Mine arrived yesterday as well. Congratulations Ian on completing. Its great to see so many on the forum took part.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to 00marks]

Congrats to you too 👍And yes, quite a few of us did this run 😁

[Lizcanrun Graduate10]

Oooh... Well done! Good thing this is an online forum, I get the impression you might have been mobbed for that lovely T shirt!!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

Thanks, and yes , the shirt is rather nice 😁

[PandaCory Graduate10]

Ooh that's lovely! I'm away on holiday just now so I'm looking forward to finding mine on the doormat when I get back - congratulations!

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

You can't beat a bit of bling! 💎 Love the colour of the t- shirt

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Haha, my first bit of bling 😎🏅And yes, the shirt is nice , although think I got wrong size 😐

[Kat332zz Graduate10]

I got mine too. First running medal for me, though I did get a LEJOG one, but that was walking mainly. I might be a bit antisocial but I love these virtual races, no travelling involved and no queues for the loo!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Kat332zz]

Haha, I agree 😁

[Hidden]

Very nice, congratulations 🥳

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😁👍

[H4CS Graduate10]

Fantastic well done doing all your training leading up to that bling!! I have had my first medal last week and forgot to post about it!! A good excuse to wear it again tomorrow!! 😅 congratulations

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to H4CS]

Thank you and congrats on your first medal also 😁👍

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Oooohhhh I love those Ian, or should I say your Majesty now you’ve been promoted 😉🤴

I was expecting the same type of medal and shirt as last year, but really pleased to see they’re totally different 😁 looking forward to mine now. 👍🏅👕

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Haha, I'm sure I get called worse 😁Even though 'worse' isn't my name 🤣

Yes I love the shirt colour (but it's too big) 😐

And to be honest having seen last year's medal I was hoping it would be the same !

Ahh well, still like my first medal though 😁

[9weeks2Run Graduate10]

Aww that is so lovely Ian you must be so thrilled with your first medal, how exciting. Looks beautiful love the pink ribbon. very well done Ambassador Instructor57 x🏅🏅🥇🥇🎖

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thank you yes , shame the shirt is too big though 😐

[9weeks2Run Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

That is a shame although would be worse if it was tight!!

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Yes, very true 😁👍
