What to do with race medals

What to do with race medals

When I first started running, the allure of the medal was heavy. Never having received a sporting award in my life, the medal signified entry into some elite club. I signed up for the Disney Princess Half Marathon solely because I loved the tiara medal so much. I went all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas for the HUGE medal. I proudly displayed them in beautiful medal hangers. Until one day … I just lost the thrill of collecting medals….

Gobble Jog 5k – A Thanksgiving Day Race

Gobble Jog 5k – A Thanksgiving Day Race

I have run the Thanksgiving Day Half in downtown Atlanta almost every year. But this year, I didn’t maintain the miles after Berlin and opted to run another 5K instead. The Gobble Jog by MUST Ministries is a huge 5K/10K race and I “tried” to make it a family affair. Tried because the 13yo was mad at being made to run bright and early at 9am (insert eye roll here) and the 10yo was mad because I had not told…

My Charity Team for Boston Marathon

My Charity Team for Boston Marathon

Those who have followed my running (and sometimes triathlon) adventures know that I’ve been on a quest to complete the World Marathon Majors (Chicago, NYC, Boston, London, Berlin & Tokyo). Boston was my biggest challenge. Since a Boston qualifying time was not happening at my sloth pace (please no judgement about how “anyone could run a BQ if only they really really wanted to”), my only option was a charity entry. I AM SUPER EXCITED AND SUPER HONORED TO RUN…
