Lip Gloss Jul 2023 1:54pm, 23 Jul 2023 70,308 posts	0 Lip Gloss No garden stuff Kim you’ve done enough today. Looks like my fence painting will get done my second week as I’ve filled all my days with something next week before away for the weekend
LazyDaisy Jul 2023 4:56pm, 23 Jul 2023 38,565 posts	0 LazyDaisy I went out for a run eventually and managed to run for two mainly downhill miles but that was all I could manage. No energy at all. And to make life just that bit more interesting I seem to have a rash over my legs and torso. The leaflet with the pills suggests this could be a rare side effect. Sigh.
Fragile Do Not Bend Jul 2023 6:30pm, 23 Jul 2023 11,387 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Something a bit different today, my running club fielded two teams for a fun ladies’ softball cricket event. We came 7th and 8th out of 8 teams 😅 Meanwhile some from the club have got the hump about doing a 10k where the finishers’ medals turned out to be made of wood. I don’t really get the fuss, I thought they looked nice. I’d swap a nice wooden medal for one of the generic metal medals I have any day.
ITG 🇮🇸 Jul 2023 6:34pm, 23 Jul 2023 16,702 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 I biked in Caithness, avoiding potholes and sheep. I jogged a few paces with dog too and ankle seems to be coming along.
KimCanRun Jul 2023 6:49pm, 23 Jul 2023 6,903 posts	0 KimCanRun FNDB - wooden medals are becoming more common so your club mates had better get used to them. I’ve had 3-4 in the last year. Glad you survived cycle & run ITG.
Sombrero Jul 2023 7:12pm, 23 Jul 2023 13,254 posts	0 Sombrero Hi gonks. Back home. I drove most of it, knackered now. May have a snooze. Wooden medals are great, I've always seen a good reaction to them. Hurrah for ITG's ankle.

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jul 2023 7:27pm, 23 Jul 2023 38,569 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) We were at the Diamond League athletics today, truly fabulous, so many PBs, meeting records, national records and area records, absolutely buzzing 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Fragile Do Not Bend Jul 2023 7:47pm, 23 Jul 2023 11,388 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Interesting, apparently someone who works in the place these medals are made claims they will fade within weeks if put on display and exposed to light. Has anyone had an issue with a wooden medal fading?
ITG 🇮🇸 Jul 2023 7:53pm, 23 Jul 2023 16,703 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 I got a lovely handmade wooden medal for (appropriately) a four forests run. The writing is burned on so I don't see why it would fade. And who is dangling medals in the sun anyway? Weirdos.
