I love my medals, even the rubbish ones. I'd even go so far as to say that my choice of races is heavily influenced by whether it's a medal or t shirt/mug etc at the finish.
Mine hang round the neck of my skeleton in the playroom.
Resurrecting this thread: I am also very shallow and will also only do a race if there's a medal at the end of it! Does anyone know if you get a medal for the Great West Run 5k, or is it just for the half marathon event?
I will also only do a race if I get a medal at the end. I'm never in a million years gonna win a race but I would like something to show the effort for putting in the training and completing the race. We all like to collect something, my choice is medals!
Mine are kept in a CD box at the minute but are kept as kids will want to know what races you have done. I am sure they will enjoy sorting through them all and asking about them rather than getting a monologue.
When I do a marathon and I want to start with one of the big marathons, I intend on a framed picture with my time!
Never thought of keeping all of my numbers though. Did people start doing that because they won't shred?
Surprised my GSR number has my name on it though - is that new?

I like medals.
Woo medals
Trying to design something to hang them all from.
Write the race time and date on the back of them usually, and have all my numbers in a scrapbook.
