MCM Mama Runs for Bling

December 29, 2015 by MCM Mama 18 Comments

Welcome to the last “Tuesdays on the Run” for 2015! I can’t believe the year is coming to an end already. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I got the bright idea to run two marathons in a weekend? (Oh wait, no, yesterday’s harebrained idea was to run a 24 or 48 hour race next December.) Anyways, today’s topic is “bling”! As in, show us your bling! I want to see what you got this year (after all, I still need to plan 2016…)

2015 bling

Somehow, I managed to get 15 medals in 2015. I didn’t even plan it LOL. I didn’t even intentionally plan to run 15 races – I thought I’d be much lower in 2015. Instead, I managed 3 marathons, 8 half marathons, 1 Ragnar, 1 17.75k, 1 10k, and 2 5ks.

As I sit here and try to choose my favorites, all I can thing of is “you’re all my favorites.” (If you are a mom, you know that book…)

RNR DC

RNR DC Medal

This medal is my favorite because I ran 17 miles the day before and then ran a decent paced race, despite it being way colder than I anticipated.

MCM 17.75K

MCM 17.75 access granted

This medal is my favorite because it guaranteed me entrance into the 40th running of the Marine Corps Marathon (and was a crazy hard race in and of itself.)

Mainly Marathons Independence Series – New York and New Jersey Marathons

NY NJ marathons

These medals are my favorite because I’m 99.9% sure I will never run two marathons in the same weekend ever again.

Ragnar Cape Cod

Ragnar Cape Cod Medal

This medal is my favorite because the whole is so much more than the parts.

Mainly Marathons Center of the Nation Series – 6 half marathons

CON Medals

These medals are my favorites because each and every state was a challenge, but the series as a whole was a triumph!

Runner’s World Half and Festival

runners world hat trick alter

These medals are my favorites because it was an amazing weekend and I loved every single minute of the weekend and the races.

Marine Corps Marathon

Marine Corps 2015 medal 2

This medal is my favorite because not only was it a return to where this whole blog started, it also represented a race where I ran mentally strong and had a well run race, despite all the challenges that were thrown my way leading up to it.

See, they really are all my favorites! So tell me, what’s your favorite bling from 2015?

    You killed it this year! Congratulations! I think this is the first year on a long time I haven’t done a race… but next year it’s on. 🙂

    I have four medals, which I display proudly on my office wall. The display is on the wall I stare at most of the day. It serves to remind me of what I am capable of (whether it’s doing something insane or drawing strength from deep, deep inside).

    I hope to add at least two more to the collection next year!

    15? Wow! I think I ended up with 5 – 4 half and a full. My Steamtown marathon medal is my favorite though because it was my first full! 🙂

    Wow, what a great year this has been for you! I would love to do one of those series marathons but I find that the timing does not work with my teaching schedule.

    My favorite medal is the one I got for the Chicago Half Marathon. It was almost as big as my face!

    Oh my goodness, what a beautiful collection of medals! I like each one you shared more than the one before. Those Ragnar medals really take the cake, in my opinion. Way to represent as a team! I also love the Marine Corp medal and the Center of the Nations Series medal. Awesome accomplishments all around!!!

    Some awesome medals. I love the state medals that connect, so cool! I think my favorite medal would have to be my Paris medal!
