This week’s Tuesday Topic: Show us your year in bling! You can write about this topic or post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Kim and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
This year I ran a total of 5 races compared to 2 in 2022. I ran one out of state, the NYC Half Marathon, and am planning on running it again next year.
Here are my races and medals:
⇒ NYC Half Marathon – It was a great race but hilly and also tough! I know now to train for those hills.
⇒ Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle – This is one of my favorite races and I LOVE it! For some reason I cannot find my medal.
⇒ CARA Lakefront 10 Miler – Another medal picture with beer. You can say that I do like my beer after a race.
⇒ CARA Spring Trail Chase 10k – My first time running this race. I enjoyed the distance and the course. It was sunny and warm day but liked that I ran in shorts and a tank top. No medal and I am OK with it.
⇒ Elmhurst Running 4 on the 4th – No medal and no picture. I remember my sister went with me but cannot remember why I didn’t take any pictures. But I did run!
The topic for next week: Your year in photos. Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!

Five races! Nice job, Zenaida!
I’m sure you already have quite a few lined up for next year, too.
Generally, I don’t like beer because it’s too bitter, but maybe I would like it after a race. I will try it out one day!
·
I am already signed up for 2 and know that I will repeat my regular races. For some reason, beer after a race tastes really good.
·
Five races is nice, congrats on them all! I only ran one race and it was a turkey trot. They didn’t give out age group or finishers medals, and instead, made a donation in our honor to a local charity.

That is a great alternative! I am not a big fan of medals and have gotten rid of most of them.
·
Congrats. These looked like fun races. Only races longer than 10k usually give medals.
Looking forward to meeting in NYC in March.
·
Yes! I will be making arrangement soon. Hopefully I can stay with my nephews again.
·
Sounds like you had some great races, bling or no bling 🙂 I’m looking forward to hearing about all you have planned for 2024!
·
Thanks! I can do without the bling. I am already planning for 2024!
·
Very nice! I love the NYC Half, and I have heard great things about the BOA Shamrock Shuffle! I would love to try that one at some point.
·
How did I not know that you ran the NYC Half? Or did I know but just forgot? I am excited to run it again next year.
·
I love the NYC Half medal. They make it look so different every year!

My favorite medals are the ones I can use as a bottle opener. 🙂
