My 10k I ran this past weekend was a long run, and a virtual race. Here’s my medal and swag bag! It’s only the second medal I’ve ever gotten, and the fourth race that I have done. The first was a 5k on the the weekend of Independence Day, about 4 years ago. The second was a relay run across the state of Georgia (my first medal) that same fall, and the third was the Savannah River Bridge Run that December. The following year I broke my foot, and am only now really getting back in to running. So this medal means a lot more to me than just a simple medal. It’s tangible proof of fighting my way back. I’m always going to treasure it.
Also…it sparkles. 🙂
