My First 5K and More... 
20 medals despite all the issues, including 5 half marathons and a full marathon… that’s awesome, Darlene!
My favourite medal would be from the 3-country marathon that I did in October… I would have liked it to be the London Marathon, but like you, I had an injury. Ah well, next time!

Yes. Next time.
I’m happy with 5 half’s and a full.
Don’t plan on that next year.

That Run For Women 5K medal is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! I love that!

It is pretty. Rare for a medal for a 5k too.

What do you do with all your medals? mine have been sitting in a bag in my closet, and I just recently went through them and just took out the ones that are most meaningful- the rest I’m getting rid of.
I agree with an earlier commenter- that Run for Women medal really is beautiful!

I have 3 wall hangers for the half’s and full marathons. And the rest are hanging on the back of the door.
That 5k only recently gives a medal. Otherwise we only get one for a half or longer.
