My long-awaited RunLEJOG medal arrived today, with a brilliant T-Shirt that I’d forgotten I ordered more than a year ago!
They will join ca ten other medals that I achieved along the way, but this one will be special!
And it felt like not only an award for each run I did during these 18 months but also a recognition for my little run of this morning, part of my second C25k journey!
It was more than 1 1/2 years ago, on the 17/08/2020, after a consolidation period as a C25k graduate, I, self-crowned queen of slow, signed up for the 874-mile journey from Lands End to John O Groats. It was the first virtual challenge I signed up for and the first promise of a medal.
I had amazing fun. I even met my physical self, where my virtual self passed a bridge going over the M6, and my real self looked down, waving 👋. healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...
And once closer to the one year mark, I asked the good people at End2End to put me onto a later cohort to see if I could finish the journey within two years total. On 23/04/2022, I completed my ultra-slow but ultra-fun journey and today, I have a medal and T-shirt to prove this.
My oh my, I love this running community!
Keep on keeping on, everyone!
Look what arrived! Volunteering at Parkrun
