Erika, Marcia and Patty are inviting everyone to share their favorite race medals for this week’s Tuesdays on the Run. It could be a medal you’re just dying to add to your collection or one you already happily earned. It will be fun to see all the different medals people share.
I, for one, do love a good piece of bling…and there are many out there that I have my eye on. But when it comes to picking a favorite, it was no contest…
My favorite medal is this one from Boston’s Run to Remember – it was my first half marathon (you can read the full recap here).
It was such a special day for me from start to finish. I remember soaking in every moment – from the other runners to the volunteers to my family’s amazing support along the course (seriously, they were everywhere!).
So while this medal is not the fanciest bling, it symbolizes a major goal accomplished and a day I’ll never forget!
Do you have a favorite race medal?
That one is very cool! Isn’t it amazing the memories some of our bling evoke? Thanks for linking up!

That’s a great medal! It’s always hard to beat a first time 🙂 The Richmond Half Marathon was my first half and I definitely love that medal.

Thanks Erika. The race honors fallen law enforcement officers so I like that the medal looks like a badge. It’s become one of my favorite races – running it again this May!
It is a neat medal and it’s so much more with the feelings and accomplishment behind it! Congratulations Michelle!!

Thanks Tricia! It’s funny I haven’t looked at this medal in a long time, but it so quickly brought back such great memories 🙂
What a lovely medal! I love the shape of it compared to the regular ol’ circle or square.

I thought it was kinda cool that they tried to mimic a police badge – Thanks!
