Medal

[Curlygurly2]

Here's my lovely 10K medal from our virtual run a couple of weeks ago. I'm very pleased with this for what it represents - at the moment 10K is a bit of a stretch for me, but I did it.... I've been running for very nearly 10 years.... and of course, nearly 10 years on this wonderful forum. I thought about all this, and all you that were running with me as I did this. Thanks for all you support over the years.

As Irish John would say "we run on our own, but we never run alone" (Whatever happened to him?)

Great photo of you Curlygurly2, I am glad that you enjoyed your virtual HU 10K and now have your 🥉 medal, I am still waiting for mine, the postman just passed my house, so no 🥉 medal this week for me, perhaps next week.

Thank you, hope yours comes soon.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

So do I 👍🥉

That seems a long time Al. It may be worth sending Sprinters an email to check they have processed your order OK. It was my understanding that the medals were all being made and sent out in one batch.

Of course anything can get lost in the post, but I think it would be worth checking with Sprinters just to be sure they received your order OK.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I did get a email from Sprinters 3 weeks ago saying that they had processed my order through PayPal.

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

I also got an email to say it was ready for posting...check with them, they're happy to help.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

👍 ✔️

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

Not sure how many people have not received their medal due to a failure at PayPal, I got a email from Sprinters telling me I won't get a medal because there was a failure at PayPal, at least I haven't lost any money.

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Oh no that's awful.. I'm so sorry.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

I'm not sure if any other runners who ran the Healthunlocked 10K were effected by that PayPal fault and didn't get a medal.

Go you!!! Very well done!10 years...blimey. ! Xxx

Irish John..he's been missing for a while. I have pm d, him but nothing!

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

He always was a bit elusive, but it seems to have been a while. Hope he's ok.

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to Curlygurly2]

Me too.x

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

It's almost six months since any posts from our friend Irish John, I just hope that he is OK.

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to AlMorr]

No reply to my emails to him.

That sums it up nicely CG. There are always people with us (actually and virtually) to cheer us on, help us up when we falter and deliver a well meant kick in the pants when required! I am very pleased with my medal too.

Irish John; he appears briefly from time to time, sparkles brightly in his inimitable entertaining way and then disappears for a while. Last time he wrote I think he had just come back from crewing on a schooner; he could be anywhere. Hopefully he will drop in again in his own good time; a real character.

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Yes, I loved his posts, and how he got us all running the COGH.

This is wonderful Curlygurly2 . Congratulations and wear that medal with all the pride it deserves. Lovely photo of you too! ❤️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

That's a fabulous photo CG - the power of 10 right there 🔟👏👏👏

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Maybe not just a power of 10 but also a medal for an Order of Magnitude.

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

Ha ha!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Lovely photo CG ❤️ And you earned that medal with every step.

Enjoy the feeling x

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

It certainly felt hard!!

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

That's a lovely medal, and 10 years of running adventures, wonderful 😊

Thank you SueApple, how are you doing?

Tired

[Folkylass]

Congratulations Curlygurly2 and lovely photo. 10 years wow amazing!👍🥰👏xx

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Folkylass]

Thank you! Yes, I'm amazed frankly! I only started running as a replacement to swimming when I developed an inner ear problem, never expected to do more than finish C25K!!

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Lovely photo and that's great how many 10's it represents! 🥰

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]
