There was a great article awhile back in Runners World. This is a great organization. I think the kids really appreciate the medals. Did you give any of your medals up yet?

Hey, thanks for popping over the other day. I haven’t made myself part with my hardware yet. I even keep my bibs! For now, they’re both inspiring me while I lace up my shoes–they remind me that each time I go out there, even for an easy run, the workout has a purpose. My medals are hanging in my garage, next to my running shoes, visor, blinky light, and runner’s mace, and watching them and reliving my races are part of my pre-run routine. Someday, Medals4Mettle. Someday.

Hey, I just started donating my worn-out shoes! And the d-tag from my last race is still on my laces . . . silly, how much I hang on to this stuff.

So, you’re planning Gasparilla again this year, huh? Maybe I’ll see you there!

I never realized runners received medals when they entered races. That is so cool! They are definitely a reminder of all the hard work you put into it but you are right to say it pales next to the hardships those other individuals face. Medals 4 Mettle sounds fabulous, will pass along the info to my running friends!

Happy WW ( a little late)!

That sounds like a great organization.
