What do you do with your race medals? Do they wallow at the back of cupboards or in drawers – hidden from sight – or hang on walls alongside race photos, or get used as Christmas tree decorations. Mine used to linger in the fruit bowl for weeks and then get shoved in my desk drawer. So I decided to do something with them – I bought a mug holder and arranged them (as artistically as I could) into my very own medal tree. It now sits by my desk and provides inspiration when I need it… my Greater Manchester Marathon medal is proudly displayed front and centre and is wonderful reminder of achieving something I never thought possible when I began the Couch to 5k programme in 2011. Alongside it is the medal from my very first running event – the Race for Life at Trentham in 2011 – another sign of just how far I’ve come. Have a look at your medals – remember what you’ve achieved and think about what else you can do in the future! |
