This is a photo of my medal 🥉 and T Shirt from Sunday's Great Scottish Run, it says Glasgow on the T Shirt but I think it should be Scotland

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Amazing, very well done Al! 💪👏👏👏🏃‍♂️ And a very cool looking medal 🏅😀

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Glad you like the 🏅 and T 👕

[Doris8 Graduate10]

yes think it should be Scottish run as it was the Great Scottish run. Good looking medal 🥇

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

It used to be the Glasgow Marathon then changed to the Glasgow half marathon then to the Great Scottish Run, it's a nice medal and T shirt, glad you like it.

🍏Love the medal but agree with you about T-shirt! Congratulations again Al. 🎉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Glasgow has a bad record regarding health issues Annieapple, I asked several runners yesterday where they came from?, not one lived in Glasgow including myself, I live in Cumbernauld which is 13 miles from Glasgow, several came from Edinburgh and a few others lived around 9 to 12 miles from the city, it's the same when I go to Springburn parkrun on a Saturday, I've been going to that parkrun in Glasgow for several years and have never met a runner who actually lives in Springburn, they all live in more affluent areas just outside the city, now you can understand why Glasgow despite it's lovely parks has a poor health record.

Looks really nice

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Tessie66]

Glad you like it Tessie66 🥇 👕

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Some nice bling there Al! 🥇👕

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

It is rather nice LottieMW, I now have six blings hanging on my kitchen wall which is nothing compared to some people, nevertheless if someone had told me six years ago when I graduated from C25K that I would get six medals by now I would have replied "your joking, I'am only doing those runs for exercise, not to get any medals"

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to AlMorr]

Very true Al, bling is just a nice extra!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Wow - well done AlMorr 👏👍🏅 Great Run always do fab medals and I love that T-shirt.🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

I am glad that you like my medal and T shirt 👕🥇✅

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Thank you AlMorr . Yes it is normal for the city of the run to be on the T-shirt. It will be interesting to see how the Great South Run T-shirt compares.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Indeed Dexy, remember that I have decided to virtually run The Great South Run on Sunday October 20th, it will be the longest run I have ran for just over a year.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Have you signed up officially to do that Al, or are you doing it to run virtually with us?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Not officially, didn't realise that there was a official virtual version, I will be running virtually with the Healthunlock C25K team

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

No . I haven’t seen anything either, but it will nice to have you virtually along.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

PS Dexy5, my goodness me I have just noticed no less than 17 more photos of me running the last 200 metres of Sunday's run, the last 3 photos also shows my pacer under the ark on the right side of the photo, it was just at that point that she asked me to go ahead, I was with her until then, so if you want to see me again (surely not) it's there in those extra photos, BIB No. 28345

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

ha ha yes they take them all around the course. I hope you like them . I very rarely like my race photos . 😂😂. The trouble is I think I’m a gazelle but am clearly not.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

All those photos were taken within 50 metres from the finishing line, some of the later ones at the arch were taken about 300 metres from the finishing line with a glimpse of the pacer I ran with for most of the run

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Oh yes, you look very happy and relaxed AlMorr . There is no doubt you can better that time next year though.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Yes I hope so✔️🥉👚

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

They look good Al!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yes they do Oldgirlruns, are you taking part in The Great South Run or volunteering?

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

No, I’m not doing the GSR this year as I haven’t really run much since last year’s effort for various reasons. But I’ll be there as “cheerer-on in chief” for all my HU friends and others who are running in it! It’s such a great atmosphere - and only a short walk from home!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

That's good news that you are "cheerer-on in chief" at the Great South Run, if you also have a cowbell you can ring it continually as the runners pass, I heard plenty of them yesterday and ring one when I am a marshall at Palacerigg Country parkrun as I was in Saturday.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Oh yes, I definitely have bells!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

She is brilliant AlMorr . She appears all over the route to make sure she catches us all.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

By the way Dexy5 I have just read the very latest on the GSR Facebook page that the later runners of the half marathon of the run were very disappointed regarding the lack of crowd support they got and no photos of them running at the end of their run, most people and the photographers went home, there is a lady who I know ran the HM in just under 3 hours, there are no photos of her, such a pity, however, there are no complaints from anyone who ran the 10K.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

it is so sad to hear that AlMorr , and I hear it has been a problem at many of the big races. I see on the website that participants must be able to run at least 17 mins a mile, or they will need to run on the pavement while they open the roads. That is well over the 3 hour finish. It could be that most of the crowd were supporting family members who were running so they had left to join them. But the absence of photographers is not good at all. I hope she will complain.

[Rabbit561]

lovely medal Al and well done! They could have sneaked a wee Saltire in the tee shirt design somewhere at least 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Rabbit561]

Indeed they could have put a small Saltire on the T Shirt, a lot of the 30,000 runners didn't live in Glasgow, it wasn't the Great Glasgow run, it was the Great Scottish Run, so a Saltire would have added a Scottish dimension to the T Shirt.

[otterboy Graduate10]

Utterly inspirational AlMorr. I'm out this morning for my trot. It will be all the better because of your positive energy. Namaste Namaka.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to otterboy]

Thank you very much otterboy, I'm glad that I have inspired you for your trots/runs 🏃 ✔️✔️

[drl212 Graduate10]

Awesome!
