Blindfold Run Update

[OldPossum]

Today Fazzical and I completed our first ever charity run, in fact our first very public run and IT WAS AMAZING!! We navigated all the twists and turns, dodged people and bicycles without mishap, no mean feat when one of you cannot see where they are going! Everyone was brilliant and it was great to meet up with McFitty and her lovely son. Although it appears I actually said out loud we would do the 10k next year 😱😱😱

Thank you Ullyrunner for telling us about this brilliant event and if anyone is looking for a challenge with a difference next year I can't recommend this enough. Check out the link below if you want to see more.

Oh and the real bonus we got bling- never had a medal before - I'm sleeping in it tonight 😂😂

Ps. I showed my mum all your lovely replies to my post this morning. She doesn't know what all the fuss is about and doesn't think she is doing anything special 🙄

Well done to you all - you look as though you had fun.

Very well done to both of you, I like the medal!

[McFitty Graduate]

You're either wearing a quilt or you took the bling off for a few seconds Wasn't it just the most fabulous, fabulous day? You DID say it out loud too - see you next year (although hopefully before)

[OldPossum in reply to McFitty]

Took the bling off briefly for the photo shoot on a quilt 😀😀

Tough mudder? 😂😂😂

[McFitty Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

I will if you will

[OldPossum in reply to McFitty]

Have to think about that one. I hate mud 😱😱

Way to go everyone!

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Brilliant - well done to you all!☺

[RunningGeek Graduate]

Well done to you all. Sounds fun 😁

[pollyp1 Graduate]

Well done both of you! That's pretty special. Enjoy your bling!

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Well done all of you! I'm sure that was fun but scary 😱 and I love that medal. It's so pretty 🎖

[Scruffy64 Graduate]

Brilliant, well done and what a medal!

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Brilliant effort - well done both of you - and such a worthwhile cause.

The lovely daughter, her partner and two of her colleagues at the charity were also running and said they had a lot of fun - they were buzzing! Glad you met Mcfitty - it must be so nice to meet other forumites in the flesh!

[OldPossum in reply to Ullyrunner]

It was indeed lovely to meet McFitty . I know what your daughter means about the day, we were flying till we went to bed despite being very tired. Everyone from the charity were really lovely too. As I said I can't recommend this enough for anyone looking for an event to join with. It really doesn't matter if you can't run 5k either. You find you have to walk at times to avoid bumping into people and obstacles anyway. You really could do this one at any stage in your C25K journey. It's brilliant.

Congratulations, great medal, very pretty quilt, keep on running, here's to your 10k next year! 🏅😊

[OldPossum in reply to Flossie22]

Can't believe I said that out loud😱 Maybe we need a C25K team entry next year 😀

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to OldPossum]

Sounds like a great idea to me!

[nhs2015 Graduate]

Brilliant. It looks like you had fun. Wonderful
