First my refrigerator, now this: I’m showing off my medals, a la Marlene. I went back and forth on whether I was going to post this or not. I’ve only finished two marathons. None of my local races give out bling for less than a half-marathon distance. And goodness knows I’ve never placed in my age group! But, here’s what I realized (and it’s right there in the title of my blog): I’m an average athlete. I’ve never claimed to be anything other than mediocre, so hopefully none of you came to this post expecting to see a race closet full of hardware. But if you come to my house and walk down my hallway, you will see this:
Baaa! Baaaa!
My side
The Hubs’ side
From my first Half Marathon. It’s a REAL cowbell!
My first Marathon – what an awesome day!
I may be average, but my kids think I’m a rock star!
Aimee (I Tri To Be Me) says
That’s so awesome! I love how you display them in your home. My bibs are just in a binder and my medals are hanging up in my closet. I have to figure out something better!
Michelle says
I have done 4 races and none of them gave out medals. Sad face!
Char says
That cow bell medal is so cute!
ajh says
Love the cow bell! My bib numbers are in a binder or thrown away. Love how you display them!
Heather says
I love your medal displays – and that cowbell is awesome!
Teamarcia says
I beg to differ on the average part! Love your display and I think I’ll make it my mission to find a race with an awesome cowbell!

I have to do something similar with my bibs. I have them just stuffed into a shoebox at this point 🙂
Tricia says
LOVE it!

I love this. I am so jealous. I would have bever thought to do this. What a beautiful display. I have thrown all my bibs away, but still have all my medals. I want a cowbell!! I’m going to look around and see if there are any of those races in Texas.
Average…whatever. You are amazing!!
