This week’s Tuesday Topic: Show us your year in bling! You can write about this topic or post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Kim and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
This year I ran a total of 5 races compared to 2 in 2022. I ran one out of state, the NYC Half Marathon, and am planning on running it again next year.
Here are my races and medals:
⇒ NYC Half Marathon – It was a great race but hilly and also tough! I know now to train for those hills.
⇒ Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle – This is one of my favorite races and I LOVE it! For some reason I cannot find my medal.
⇒ CARA Lakefront 10 Miler – Another medal picture with beer. You can say that I do like my beer after a race.
⇒ CARA Spring Trail Chase 10k – My first time running this race. I enjoyed the distance and the course. It was sunny and warm day but liked that I ran in shorts and a tank top. No medal and I am OK with it.
⇒ Elmhurst Running 4 on the 4th – No medal and no picture. I remember my sister went with me but cannot remember why I didn’t take any pictures. But I did run!
The topic for next week: Your year in photos. Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
Five races! Nice job, Zenaida!
I’m sure you already have quite a few lined up for next year, too.
Generally, I don’t like beer because it’s too bitter, but maybe I would like it after a race. I will try it out one day!
I am already signed up for 2 and know that I will repeat my regular races. For some reason, beer after a race tastes really good.
Five races is nice, congrats on them all! I only ran one race and it was a turkey trot. They didn’t give out age group or finishers medals, and instead, made a donation in our honor to a local charity.
That is a great alternative! I am not a big fan of medals and have gotten rid of most of them.
Congrats. These looked like fun races. Only races longer than 10k usually give medals.
Looking forward to meeting in NYC in March.
Yes! I will be making arrangement soon. Hopefully I can stay with my nephews again.
Sounds like you had some great races, bling or no bling 🙂 I’m looking forward to hearing about all you have planned for 2024!
Thanks! I can do without the bling. I am already planning for 2024!
Very nice! I love the NYC Half, and I have heard great things about the BOA Shamrock Shuffle! I would love to try that one at some point.
How did I not know that you ran the NYC Half? Or did I know but just forgot? I am excited to run it again next year.
I love the NYC Half medal. They make it look so different every year!
My favorite medals are the ones I can use as a bottle opener. 🙂
