The final week of the year! This week on Tuesdays on the Run we’re reflecting on our races and the bling we remember them by. Who doesn’t love fabulous race medals? I know I do.
So without further babbling I present to you my year in race medals.
Left to right:
AG1 Turkey Trot 4 miler
Fort2Base Nautical 10 Miler (11.5 miles)
Cara 10 Miler
RocknRoll VegasΒ Half Marathon
RocknRoll Vegas Remix
RocknRoll VegasΒ 5k
Patriot TriathlonΒ 2nd Overall female (still not sure how I pulled that off)
Twin Cities Marathon
Espirit de She Triathlon
Eggshell Shuffle 5k
Overall a solid year. I still feel bad about over committing and having to bag a couple of races but live and learn. What I’m probably most thrilled about is managing to run injury-free again this year.
Show us your race medals! Which is your favorite? What medal do you covet most?

That AG place in your Tri is really awesome Marcia π Well done. Injury free sounds perfect, I think that is my #1 2016 goal.
Nicola @ Running Happy says
That’s a good looking medal haul!
Mine’s a lot smaller than last year as I managed to do a few races where you didn’t get a medal at the end! Got other goodies but I do like a medal.
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
That twin cities medal is gorgeous!
Running injury free = priceless!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
It’s been a great year of running for you! I really think you need to come to Sarasota with me…
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
Love the medals, especially the RnR Vegas and Twin Cities Marathon medals! Congrats on a great year!
Jenn @ RunWithSole says
What a great year! I love the Eggshell Shuffle medal! So cute!! Happy New Year, Marcia!
Darlene says
an injury-free year is the best. You ran such a variety of distances including a tri – congrats on a great year!
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
That medal with the bunny ears is so cute. That’s great that you got a medal for a 5k. Congrats on all your accomplishments this yr. And the best is staying injury free.
Becky @ Ok, So Here's the Plan says
I think there should be an injury-free medal – I would get one this year too! π That may be the thing I’m most impressed by, not that I ran my first full marathon this year, but that I managed to get through marathon training without injury!
Megan @ Meg Go Run says
That’s some nice bling, Marcia!
Michelle says
You had an awesome year!!!! My year was pretty quiet in regards to running/racing but I did manage 2 1/2 marathons and 1 full.
Jessica S says
That bunny ear medal is very cute π
Patty says
I love the Esprit de She one- very cool! I personally would LOVE to run MCM someday- what a gorgeous medal! But that’s way way waaaayyy down the line. π

Such a beautiful collection of medals! My favorites from your picture are the Esprit de She, Twin Cities, and of course all the Las Vegas ones. Cheers to a great year of racing in 2016 to come! Are you going to be a Rock N Blogger again next year?

I’d say that is definitely an awesome and solid running year!!! Look at all that fun bling:)
Char says
No shame in having big ambitions. So what if you have to bag a couple of races? At least you had the courage to commit in the first place. You can’t help it if life gets in the way.
Annmarie says
Those are some really pretty shiny medals! Congrats on an awesome year!
Laura@ Fit Running Mama says
All that fun bling is getting me excited to be back at the starting line in 2016!!! Yeah π

Look at you with two triathlon medals! I really like the medal that looks like a maple leaf (Twin Cities?) and that Fort2Base is huge! Here’s to a wonderful 2016!
