  1. Holy smack! You did a LOT of races! I didn't realize you did half of those races..like flying pig. I can imagine you are pretty proud of that marathon accomplishment- with good reason!

    The RnR races always have such flashy medals. I need to get in on one this year, maybe the RnR portland half.

    What a great year for you! Hope you are feeling better.

  2. What a great collection of medals to reflect an obviously awesome year for you!

    You guys must have the same "problem" we do: 2 runners in the family equals 2 sets of medals, t-shirts, etc. I can't complain about that problem :)

    Happy New Year!!

  3. I'm so jealous! There are only a couple of events in Australia that you get medals at.... Is there a site which lists all the runs etc in the US (or state by state?) I'm visiting next year and would love to do a run or two while I'm there!

  4. Wowzer! You did a lot of long races. Half marathons, ten milers, marathons, half ironmen! 20 races is a lot regardless but throw in the ones you did and Wowzer!

    I am jealous of the Halloween medal. I like the idea of blogging all of them for the year. Maybe I'll copy you.
