10K bling

Hiya,

Last Saturday I ran for the first time 10 km as you can read about in my previous post. Since then I have not ran due to the hot weather. I decided to spare myself and I will run again when the weather is better. I hope that will be soon though and that I won't have lost (too much) fitness. But if needed, I'll just have to build up things again.

That said, I after my 10K I treated myself to a 10K medal from VirtueelNL (see pic). It's a heavy piece of bling, but so nice. Only a pity that they could not engrave it with the date and time run (this is because the medal has structure). But that is another bling in my medal box! I now have 4 blings in my medal box: my first 5K, my first 60 minutes, Conqueror Kilimanjaro and my first 10K. I still have one underway from the Conqueror English Channel too.

Call me an idiot for collecting medals I give myself, but I think it's fun...

Cheers, Evy

Nice medal, that’s one to be super proud of! It’s quite Run DMC 😁 and super blingy 🏅🏅🏅.

Thanks, I do am proud of it 😊

[DylanTheRabbit Graduate10]

Love it! Why not? 🏅

[Hidden in reply to DylanTheRabbit]

Indeed, why not!! 😊

I’m also massively into medals, especially the conqueror ones as they are really good quality. And you deserve a medal for your 10k, well done 👍🏻

[Hidden in reply to Lookslikejames]

Thank you and I'm into Conqueror too as you can read 😊

[Lookslikejames Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I'm obsessed with them to be honest, I've done 4 so far and am working on two more (although they will be a while as I have 202 miles left on one and 718 left on the other 😱)

Nice one !Nothing wrong with a bit of bling 😁

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Too true 😁

Great medal 🏅 I've only got two, both for vv10000 events but they make me feel proud when I look at them 😁 I'll just ignore my mum who was super impressed because she thought I'd run 10000k, not so much when she realised it was 10k 🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Beatlesforever]

Now THAT would have been something! 😂 I think you'd get all the medals in the world for that!

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Great medal looks heavy🏅. Are you doing your treadmill instead?

[Hidden in reply to Doris8]

Not even the treadmill, I am really not made for this weather. I don't sleep enough, can't seem to get enough air in my lungs and I just wait for better weather...

Congratulations on that 10K medal and other medals, NL suggests that it is a Dutch company that you get those medals from, well done.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks! Indeed it is a Dutch company (safe for taxes and customs as I live in Belgium). The Conqueror medals are from the US I think.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

New Zealand (Conqueror Challenges, although not sure where they source their medals from. I think I looked it up at some point and saw they were actually made in New Zealand but not sure)

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

That's a super medal, and really shows what a great achievement running 10 KM is. I wasn't into medals before lockdown, but as things are I think it's important to give ourselves little treats. I've been doing lots of virtual races and have a very respectable collection of medals now.

I'd love to see a pic of that box...

[Hidden in reply to Curlygurly2]

Eh... once there are a few more medals in it maybe 😹 it is a pathetic sight now with 4 medals in it.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Never pathetic, but take your point xx

[Dups Graduate10]

Great medal🏅well done on your 10k

[Hidden in reply to Dups]

Thank you ☺
