2018 in Bling – not the highest bling year ever

December 10, 2018 by MCM Mama 11 Comments

Does this count as bling?

No? OK, well having just survived the installation of the new cabinets, etc., it’s one of the best rewards I’ve gotten this year. I still have a lot of painting to do and then I need to refinish the floors, but it’s a huge improvement over a week ago. Yes, you read that right. It took one week.

But let’s talk race bling instead.  This year was a bit on the “light” side. I “only” ran 1 marathon, 6 half marathons, an ultra Ragnar, my first timed trail race, and a handful of other random races. I didn’t get any new states in 2018, but I did get a new country – New Zealand.

Despite being a bit on the light side, I got some pretty cool medals.

All of my 2018 medals…

But the coolest thing that happened in 2018 is that I ran my 5th Marine Corps Marathon. When I ran my first MCM, I thought I was going to be one and done. Now I’ve qualified to join the runners club. I don’t plan to run in 2019, but somehow no one believes me…

All in all, I got some cool bling in 2018. I should be getting ready to run my first ultra, but for once, I’m being realistic. Maybe that will be a 2019 goal.

What was the coolest bling you got this year???

    That looks like a lot to me!! Especially compared to how my year ended up. And your kitchen is gorgeous – I’d trade some race bling in for that 😁

    Congrats on surviving a kitchen remodel!

    Those MCM medals are pretty awesome – I’m betting you’ll be adding a 6th one soon 😉

    Very cool bling! And your kitchen is beautiful. I can’t believe it took only one week. That truly is the best reward of the year.

    Your “only” ran would kill me! And I would absolutely take a new kitchen. I don’t remember how long our remodel took, which was less stuff, but I know it took longer.

    Looks like a pretty good year to me.

    MCM is definitely on my bucket list! There is a group of us thinking of entering the lottery for next year.

    So sad I missed this ToTR — bling roundups are so great. Congrats on your year!
