Race Memorabilia: Keepsake or Clutter?

This past weekend, I ran the Wausau Half Marathon on Saturday, drove 3 hours to Minnesota, ran the Woodbury Country Mile Half Marathon on Sunday and then drove 3.5 hours to my aunt and uncle's house for a family party.

So, recently, I reached out to Allied Medals to see if I could review one of their hangers. I mean, it's just sad to have your medals in a pile on the floor. Right?

Half Marathon #85: Appalachian Series – South Carolina

Mainly Marathons Appalachian Series – South CarolinaMarch 27, 20222:47:45 What I wore: hat, tank top, long sleeve quarter zip, capris, and Altra Rivera Location: Seneca, SC (State #41!) Let’s just start out with the truth – this race was the hardest of the races and pretty much sucked. I chose to do the early start […]
