Show Me Your Race Medals

July 16, 2010

Marlene showed us her race medals this morning and asked to see ours in return.

Although I’ve been meaning to erect a shrine in our workout room, somehow that hasn’t quite happened yet, and my bling resides in a humble cardboard box.

For your viewing pleasure:

There are 5 marathon medals and 6 1/2 marathon medals in there. I’ve done 4 1/2s that gave no medal (what??). The rest are age group awards.
…and a few non-medal AG awards.
Some of my faves:
My first marathon, the notoriously hot Chicago. Wow that was a tough day. But I never gave up.
My first BQ and best executed race so far. Grand Rapids, 2008.
That was a storybook perfect day!
…and of course my Bostons. Never say never.
Show us your bling!

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
