Brought to you by the fact it’s almost time to run to the beach with 11 of my new best friends

My first ironman distance race (Beach2Battleship) - the medal was ENORMOUS:






And my first IRONMAN Ironman (the following year):



ETA: My goal this year is to replace these with a new favorite - my first 100 miler belt buckle.  2018 baby!  IT'S HAPPENING.

This one, not because it's super unique or pretty, just cuz it was my first marathon, I was sick as hell, and nobody thought I was going to finish it.

Huge pic warning-

This one from my one and only obstacle course/mudslog, cuz it's a bottle opener


And this one, and yes that's me wearing it to work the Monday after, no shame!

Baltimore marathon - it's a crab that opens up to show Fort McHenry.

About 99% of my medals are packed but my favorite medal is coming in a few weeks...the proof I finished the five year Big Bang challenge. Wooooot!

[ktzmoh]

Always and forever ❤️

This is one stays in my sock drawer.

The three medals I won a Masters Track Nationals are my favorites for this year.

Back when I ran Baltimore. Haha. The race has changed a bit over the years. 



ETA:This race medal is definitely not the prettiest, but it is one that I would be sad if I lost. It was from the beginning of my relationship with DH and I remember going through training runs thinking running was terrible and refusing to touch the disgustingness that was gu. I only kept up with it b/c I told now DH I was going to do it and he seemed impressed (what was wrong with me, lol) Then 9/11 happened and I didn’t run for the couple weeks before the race (lived in DC at the time). So this ugly medal of my one and done, but not really, marathon has lots of memories.

This choice is a no brainer for me!

This one of course! I love the uniqueness and also because it was my first marathon.

Wineglass medals are so beautiful, I love that they are unique every year!

[secretlyevil]

The Wineglass race is on the top of my to run list.

[libbygrl109]

Love this one, of course.


And this one not just for how beautiful it is, but because I made it through its nasty course, and even nastier weather.

This one because it was my first marathon!

[wambam]

I wouldn’t care if this had an actual turd on it, it would be my favorite haha. But I do like it better than Air Force because I’m not super into planes.

This one is from my first ultra-marathon swim. It's also one of the only medals I have. OWSs don't typically give out real medals, so it's doubly awesome.
