I know I wrote a while back about how I placed 1st in my age group during the 6K that Sean and I ran a few weeks ago. We never were able to stay around for the awards ceremony, and it wasn't until yesterday that I received my little running trophy. Wednesday was my first day back at running intervals with the Colonial Road Runners since the Rock n' Roll half, and luckily they keep our awards to give us, so I got to pick it up after running.
I figured this is a good chance to show off my "little award area" in our game room. Since I've started racing, April of 2007, I have started to collect awards of many kinds. I love the ones that I can display in the game room, which allows me to toot my own horn a little. Don't get me wrong, I also love the useful gifts, which have included a water bottle, cute orange tote bag (with free embroidery, that they messed up on and I felt bad and never said anything but still use it), a pint glass (this was 4th of July so I was able to enjoy all of my favorite beverages out of this glass that day), the IPod shuffle (I wrote about that before), a backpack, and I'm sure many other things that I can't think of. Sean has also received a few
awards himself, two which are displayed in the game room, both from the Shamrock Half Marathon that we ran together. You can see below the large plaque on the table, yeah the biggest award belongs to him. I'm jealous, but not that jealous, because he got a silly plaque and I got a diamond ring. You tell me, what's the better "prize?"
