Ahh brilliant Cmoi ! Thanks for that, I’ll get cracking.

The scariest one though? The no tech one! 😂 OMG I’m hyperventilating at the very thought. But I’ll do it, of course. 😱😱😱

I know what you mean Munks. I had to do without my Garmin the other day as it refused to get a signal for the whole run 🤬 That was bad enough…..

But to leave it at home……….😱

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Isn’t it strange that if we don’t record it’s almost as though it didn’t actually happen! This one has me a bit scared too 🤣.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Let’s be brave and go for it….💪

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

We can still take a photo!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Exactly! And there’s no distanced mentioned 🤔

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

That takes the pressure off!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Me too! 😱

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Great variety Cmoi! I’m already thinking of where to capture the brightest lights 🤗

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

I like to run up to Knob Hill part of town and admire theirs. Very lovely with each bay window of an entire row done up for Christmas. Magical 😀🎄

Speaking of which mine are still in the loft 😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Maybe the brightest lights are my own 🔆✨😎

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Hurrah just what I’ve been waiting for! It’s great to have something fun and a bit of a challenge at the same time 😊😁. Thank you Cmoi .

"Run at a time of day you've never run before!" Given I've run at various times between 6.30am and midnight, that only leaves the middle of the night. I need my beauty sleep. 👹

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

Running after midnight sounds incredibly romantic…..💕

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

On a balmy summer night, maybe, but in the depths of a damp, chilly winter, less so.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

I always knew I was very self-competitive. I’ve just added the Bingo Card to my photos and will print it off so I can tick off each run 🙄

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Thank you. A lovely surprise Christmas present. I was thinking I might have a week off - then I saw this post! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Week7 Half Marathon]

I do love a runny bingo card! As I’m in isolation at home at the mo I can’t do any more but

I ran parkrun on Christmas Day ⭐️

I did a good deed by taking the sorted tokens for use that day and then taking them home to sort again ⭐️

I wore a Reindeer Run T-shirt and Golden antlers and carried some jingle bells ⭐️

I also played my Christmas toons loud on my phone ⭐️

I had Festive treats on return home ⭐️

Oh what fun it is to run at parkrun on Christmas Day 🎵🎶🎵🎶

I also ended up on the parkrun video so here is a screenshot for evidence
