I've run the First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon 3 times, and loved it every time. Even with 100% humidity yesterday, I really enjoyed the race.

In the meantime, take a look at the super sparkly bling below. Every finisher — half, relay and 10K took one home.

Trio of Turtle Medals!I ran my very first Challenge on Saturday at the St. Pete Beach Classic Waste Connections, Inc. Duo. (That's a mouthful of miles!) It was better than I expected. The 10K race began at 7:00 am, followed by the 5K race at 9:00 am. Both races were on out and back courses in the town of St. Pete Beach, Florida. I'll have a full race recap soon. In the meantime, take a peek at this trio of turtles.  This fun race challenge came at the perfect time. I used it as my long run in my #RunSarasota half marathon training plan. I maintained a consistent pace in both races, and am thrilled with the results. I love when I can get full support (and medals) during a training run! Thanks #SPBClassic for another great event! #SPBClassic #SPBClassicDuo #RunStPeteBeach #RunStPete #RunSarasota #RunTampa #MedalMonday #10K #5K #Challenge
How and Where Do You Display Your Bling?
I hung a new medal on a hook in my closet this weekend. It made me wonder: how do other runners display their bling? Are they public or private displays? Shown at home or work? Hung on a specialty rack or a curtain rod? Tossed in a drawer? Do any runners wear their medal all day? The next day? Do experienced runners even care about medals after years of running? I suspect if I ran a major marathon, like Boston or London, I would wear my medal for a week — maybe longer. Usually though, I take a photo to send to family, then hang my bling on a hook in the bedroom walk in closet. My husband and I are the only people who see my race collection.  Where do you display your bling? My race medals are on hooks in my clothes closet.
I believe that although everyone in a race gets the prize, it means something different for each runner. My medals recall very specific personal efforts and experiences. Most importantly, they remind me that I am healthier and happier when I am running.
And, of course, I'll admit I love that medals are shiny, pretty and unique pieces of art! #RaceMedals #MedalMonday #Half #15K #10K #8K #5K #4K #Medals #Running #RunStPete #RunTampaBay #RunTampa #RoadRaces #ThisOldRunner #InstaRunners #StPete #Tampa #Clearwater #Bradenton #Sarasota #Pinellas #Manatee #SunShinesHere #RunChat #BibChat #RaceRaves |
