I Won What?

My First Award Ever

I am definitely NOT an incredibly fast runner.  Far, far from it.  But, I've placed quite a few times, mostly in smaller races.  In fact, I won cash this weekend for Female Masters (score!!).  Aside from the usual medal, trophy, plaque or cash I've won some odd (and not so odd - just different) items. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for any recognition because running is hard!  And, I appreciate the "out of the box" thinking put into some awards.  It makes them more special.  Note: these were not door prizes or items in the swag bag but presented as AWARDS.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some really good ones.  Running buddies, help me remember!

  3. Wow! That's a lot of awards. My award is almost always a medal. Nothing odd really. My favorite was an insulated lunch bag and $50 gift card to a restaurant. My 5ks are my speed work too!

    1. The horses head was attached to a base to make a trophy...but it is freaky looking. LOL. Just read your blog. Very impressed with your marathons!
