Strength. Endurance. Resilience.
The postie brought my totally gorgeous 'I Ran It Anyway 13.1 miles' wooden medal this morning AND my replacement Bathalf tshirt (smaller but still roomy!). This is one (virtual event) I won't forget in a while.

Terrific!!!
Ooh love the 'I ran it anyway' medal, that is fab. I did the fleet half marathon as a virtual run but signed up for the local landmarks half and submitted my local 13.1 mile run for that medal. Still no medal yet sadly.
It's been a sad year for events. Fortunately I did run the big half in london and pb'd. Then two weeks later fleet hm was cancelled so I ran it virtually in my home town. Then the training for race to the kings stopped for lockdown and that is cancelled now. That only leaves me GSR......
You may still be able to submit your virtual Fleet HM to get the I ran It anyway badge - it'sa Virtual Racing one. That was 15th March too wasn't it?
I forgot about the Local Landmarks medal - I have a feeling it said that wouldn't be posted until after the end of the challenge which was quite a late date.
I should have run our local 5 mile event yesterday, but obviously didn't. I have a deferred entry to Oxford HM on 11th October ... if it goes ahead. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed 🤞

I will see if I can find the virtual running one and see what it says.
I do hope that our later events will happen in sept and oct but given the gradual emergence from lockdown I am wondering if the whole year will be a wash out. At least we can still run outside. It would be fab to be able to train in our groups again, I miss that.
I'm going to hold on to the dream for a little longer ... need to drip feed 'the rest of the year' to myself 🤞
Love it....Nothing stops Me is wonderful!
You deserve those lovely medals Linda
It's True! 🏃♀️⭐💪🌷xxx
It almost made me cry when I read it! It was like getting a huge hug on the finish line 😍

Oooooooooo, how lovely Linda! 😍😍😍😍😍 I got an email saying mine was on the way and I also applied for an I Did It Anyway medal too. So glad I did, seeing your fabulous delivery! 👍🎉🏅C’mon postie! 😅
Your Bath stuff is taking ages! I received mine, then a few days later called to ask to change to a small, returned the old one and received the replacement! They did say they had run out of XS tho.
As if the 'I Ran It anyway' badge wasn't wonderful enough, I got a bonus packet of Haribo with it too!!! Hope yours all arrives very soon.
Maybe it’s alphabetical order by surname, or time completed? Who knows? At least they’ve confirmed it’s on the way - by 2nd class post, so it’s anyone’s guess when it’ll get here! 😅
Very soon hopefully 🤞🤞🤞
And did I hear you say Haribo? 😋
Tangfastics no less!
My absolute favourites! 😋😋😋😋😋

I'm so pleased with it! It's still available to be earned, and doesn't have to be done all in one session either: virtualracinguk.co.uk/produ...

That’s a medal and a half Linda! Absolutely fabulous, both of them! And so well deserved, you worked really hard for these. As you say, you won’t forget this run any time soon 🏃♀️🙂
It wasn't just the work was it - it was the hours spent agonising over the decision that took the most effort I think 🙄
That is so true! I found it all exhausting and I wasn’t even running that much! But you earned these and still ran every step of 13.1 miles 🏃♀️💪🙂
Fab-u-lous! Lovely bling.👏👏👍.🌺🌼🌸🤗x
Very cool, nice one.
Just ordered some iron letters to add 'virtual' to the top, then I can put this event away as successfully dealt with!
