So I thought I would share my 2011 year of racing in race medal pictures. I actually ran 12 races this year and believe it or not, I received 11 medals. I really love getting medals because it's a nice little reminder of the race and each has a different memory for me. I have ranked the medals on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best. So here we go:
1) Detroit Corktown 5k - My only 5k this year and no medal for this race - great race though. - March
2) Rock CF Half Marathon - Grosse Ile, Michigan - March

Did you get a finishers medal you liked this year?
Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!!
I love to look at the medals that people have earned. But then, I heard of a program called Medals for Mettle. You can donate your medals so they can be given to sick kids to feel like they have won a race as well. Helps to lift their sprits and maybe they'll win the race over sickness and claim their own victory.
ReplyDeletethis is a great post! I want to do something similar with mine from my tris this year! Thanks for sharing and congrats on a great year!
ReplyDeleteI like what you have done, and I like the fact that medals are special to you... I run a lot os races (32 road and 15 other) and done take medals. I have a box at home with 100s of old medals in, now I only take important medals like overseas races and marathons.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for 2012
Such a cool way to relive the racing year. Congrats on all of your medals and successes this running year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was my Kalamazoo Marathon medal. It wasn't particularly cool looking, but it did commemorate my 2nd marathon and a 20-minute PR!
Love this idea! Those are some great medals! My favorite was definitely my Ironman Texas medal, for obvious reasons. :) Hope you have a great 2012 running year!
