okay, so my
assortment leaves MUCH
to be desired but . . .
it is what
it is guys.
I can't
find the medal from my
first marathon in 1999 [the marathon I ran,
unknowingly pregnant]. It's
some where in my garage. And
I didn't include the photo of the plaque
I won because - - I'm a
bad sport. [
honesty candor, is my
best quality].
Here's the pile
[so far]. I know there will be one more in
September and I'd
love to have another in
October and
November and
Decem .... [ok, you get it].
I have run
5 marathons in 7 months and have loved every
mile of it.
My
favorite medal is actually from
Tucson [December 2009'].
That was a
very happy family moment/day. One that I
replay over
& over in my mind daily.
And
of course, I
adore the one that got me
my 3:20. I love it more because
Peanut put it around my neck. She gave me a
big smooch said she was
proud of me then
FREAKED out when she
looked at it and it said,
"1/2 marathon finisher". She marched right over to the
medal handout lady and
assertively told the lady,
"my mom finished the marathon
not the half".
awesome. That's my girl.

And I totally hope my kids grow up to be as outspoken as Peanut. She's awesome.

That Tucson medal is sweet. Nice when the organizers put some creativity into the hardware.
Yay! Thanks for playing along! You have some nice bling - and definitely lots more to come!!
Do you have a cool display hangar thing? I saw one somewhere. Maybe Gone for a Run? Can't remember.
I love love love Peanut's response. :)
Congratulations on all the medals! I love the Tuscon one, that one is cool. That is amazing that you have run 5 in 7. Congrats and hope you have 4 more to add by the end of the year!
Love your blingy pile. I am sure with family support like that you will be racking up the medals!
Nice collection! I like the dira-ace chain medal.
Yes - but you photographed them so artfully that one cannot help but be impressed!
Sweet medals!
Did you know that your comment made me glow??
Did you know you are like a little ray of sunshine on a humid, over cast day?
Hey, HOW CAN YOU run 5 marathons in 7 months? I would be tapering every week, right up to the race. What's your secret? And if you don't want to divulge THAT, please share what your training is like!

The Tucson Cactus is freaking awesome!!!
SWEET Bling! Our medals are not anywhere near as cool as yours!! I love how your peanut went up and made sure you got the right medal!
Bling rocks! Every once in a while I take a look at my collection and I get a dose of motivation.
Love your medal collection! The bike chain one is really cool!
Fabolous. You are ROCK hard!

The Tucson one is pretty cool. I have one from 2008 and a smaller version (half) from 2009
The chain one is super cool. A lot of blue ribbons in that collection.
Awesome! Love the Tucson one....
Be very proud--your bling 'pile' is not slouchy at all!
Man... Mine aren't anywhere that cool!!! I am going to start running marathons for the bling at the end. Cause When I show mine off they are blah!
Good one Peanut! Way to stick up for your mom!!!

Thanks for the comment and the treadmill advice, if you are succesfull with it then I should definitely give it a try! I just found your blog and am totally inspired by it (and your abs!). Hopefully someday my medal stack will grow and be this impressive! You rock lady!
You may not have a TON of medals, but most of yours are AG/overall winner medals!! :)
You and I were at Tucson running together :). Hard race with that wind, but I managed to PR there so will always be very special. Just wish the wind wasn't so intense so I could have knocked off MORE time. Oh well. What's next on your race docket?
Bike chain around a marathon medal, now thats interesting
