Some of my Medals

Upon finishing a marathon (26.2 Miles) every finisher receives a medal. On the back of the medal there is a space for engraving a name and finish time. After my finish in New York in November 2022 I debated whether to engrave my medal or not. Do I put my official time, or do I engrave “Six Months” because that is how long it took me. Then it dawned on me that the reason I started running was to control my high blood pressure without having to take medication. For me the marathon is a celebration for the good health I have enjoyed over the past nine and a half years. And I don’t take any medication anymore! So, what better way to commemorate the marathon than having recording my numbers on my medal as in the pictures below.

 I hope to do it again this coming November!
