\"IMG_1901\"<\/a>While I don’t run specifically for the bling, it’s pretty fun have a wall of medals to remind me of what I have accomplished and to force me to get back to work.\u00a0 And since my medal hangers were comparatively pretty bare in my last bling update<\/a>, I thought it was time to take a new photo.<\/p>\n

So this is all of my medals through the end of 2014.\u00a0 I put the Disney race medals on their own hanger because I have a Disney related hanger, and why not?\u00a0 The hangers themselves are from Allied Medal Hangers<\/a>.\u00a0 For the second row of medals beneath, I have second hang bars, rather than having the multi-level medal hangers that the company offers.\u00a0 I like being able to see all of the medals rather than having them overlap completely.<\/p>\n

Besides, I’m not convinced the nails would hold all of the medals if the weight was attached to one rack!<\/p>\n

For Christmas, my brother and sister-in-law got me a new medal hanger that is triathlon specific, so at some point, I’ll hang that up and move my tri medals over.<\/p>\n

Oh, and because people ask, these are all hanging in my basement, which is where I have my tv, my treadmill, my bike trainer, and all my other fitness stuff.\u00a0 It’s a bit of added motivation to not just sit on the couch and watch tv.<\/p>\n

I know not everyone is into medals.\u00a0 I like them because of the memories attached (though some medals are pretty fabulous on their own).\u00a0 If you prefer to chuck them into a drawer, never to be seen again, that’s fine too.\u00a0 I’m happiest with mine on display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
