I have received a few questions about what to do with race medals so I thought I would repost this from last year about how I turn race medals into ornaments. One medal that wont be getting snipped this year:
Maybe Cory will want to put his on the tree? but not me!!!
For most of the year the race medals that Cory and I get sit in a pile and collect dust. We could get a fancy medal hanger and display them but instead we save them until Christmas time so we can turn them into ornaments.
It’s fun to think back on the races we have done over the year while decorating the tree. This time of year is a great time to think back on all the fun we’ve had this year.
It’s pretty simple but I thought I would share how I make medals into ornaments.
Step 1: Cut the ribbon in half
Step 2: tie ribbon in a bow if you like it, if you don’t want a big bow on your tree you can remove the ribbon and use a metal ornament hanger.
Step 3: Hang on your tree and enjoy for years to come.
Simple and easy, just the way I like it!
What are your goals for this month?
This year was a new course which we didn’t like as well but the first part through the park was nice. Cory, mom and I all ran together. My mom is coming back from a few injuries and is doing awesome. Her big goal is a half marathon in June and she is going to KILL IT! Even with the difficult conditions she as able to get a PR of 1:00:28 to win her age group. Cory and I had a great time running with mom and were happy to see her do sowell. We hung around to watch Dad and Erik (big brother) finish up the 5k 
The race wasn’t doing awards that day so we grabbed some water and our race t’s before heading out
