Now I just need some bling .........

[goonkeepgoing]

Rather chuffed with myself this morning as I have managed to adapt a kitchen key / letter rack into a medal / PB board. I even have somewhere to hang my Parkrun barcode tag. Potentially it was rather ambitious to put in a half marathon space but the concept of me wanting a medal board was a bit daft 8 month ago.

After some annoying faffing with chalk I have also ordered myself a blackboard pen!!!! I think it will look nicer.

I better get myself off for a run now otherwise I won't be able to earn my bling ....................

Happy running

Good job! I'm sure you will have a medal for the board soon.

Well done! Looks great. I just copied Rig and got one from ebay. The race numbers keep falling down those as it a suction clip so may have to rethink that. Any races planned? So far I only have the race for life bling as most my races have been smaller local ones where it's tshirts but no bling.

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to dagshar]

Rig's board was the one that inspired this - it is rather nice I am using the letter section for keeping my numbers in.

Yes - I have races booked so hopefully bling is on it's way! I have a 5 mile trail run at the end of October and I'm doing the Movember 10k at the end of November. I've also signed up for 2 virtuals - the RBL Poppy challenge and the December 10k.

I am also 'committed' to the Wolf Run next year. I don't know if your friend showed you her t-shirt but I am rather impressed with hubby's. It is really nice. I keep hoping that one day I have one to wear with pride too

[dagshar Graduate in reply to goonkeepgoing]

Yes, she has been wearing it for our fitness classes. She bought a ling sleeve one as well which is also nice!

[dagshar Graduate in reply to goonkeepgoing]

Ps: i am also doing the virtual Dec 10k so that's at least one medal - and a nice one too. Hoping that there is bling at the robin hood trail event in November too!

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to dagshar]

Yes - I picked which Dec one I was going to do based on which medal I liked the most (secret shame). I do think that is the most challenging though

Robin Hood trail run must be near me (Nottinghamshire???). I'm on the north leicestershire / south Notts border.

[dagshar Graduate in reply to goonkeepgoing]

It's at Sherwood Pines in Notts on 7th Nov :

I am only doing the 5k as I am planning on taking my mum and kids along to watch and thought that it would be too much for them having to hang around for a 10k race, especially as the weather can be cold by then.

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to dagshar]

That looks a great event. Bang smack in the middle of my 5 mile hilly trail and my Movember 10k though. Maybe next year. I hope you enjoy it ☺

[misswobble Graduate]

That's lovely that is! Well done!!!

Keeeeeeeeeeeeep running!

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Will do I picked a slogan that would remind me to 'get going' again if I was ever slack enough / stupid enough to stop running

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

That is really lovely and a fab idea! Not something I have need for just yet, at W7, but who knows what the future may hold?! Hope you get some bling for it soon!😀

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

I never thought I would need one either. This running is fab! There are some good 'virtual runs' on the link below that might be a nice way to start your 'bling' journey

Good luck

[Brummymummy Graduate]

That's ace! Xx

[Noaky12 Graduate]

Now that is pretty awsome.

You could do a roaring trade in those!! 😆

[AncientMum Graduate]

Love it!! Of course you should have a HM space - you've got to have ambition!

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Yep - I've not given up on the idea yet. I'm hoping that I'll get stronger over the next few years not weaker

[misswobble Graduate]

Yeah there's no hurry. Build up slow and then you won't get hurt.
