Every once in a while I go online to look at the various finisher medals for the marathons. I know it should be all about the run but sometimes I need the medal to give me extra motivation. I love the thought of seeing Las Vegas for the first time and getting that extra heavy medal. I am one of those people who only loves running while she is running (walking-no need to comment Earl). I always enjoy it but it takes that extra effort to get me started. During my runs (walks) I think of how fast I will be in Dec. I think of what it will feel like to complete another half marathon. It is all so exciting. After checking out the other marathons, I wonder if I can complete three halfs next year or--a full (crazy though it may seem). All I know is I want another heavy medal and I haven't earned the first one yet. Is there a support group for medal addiction?
Hello, My name is Katrina and I am a marathon medal addict.
Clarification: The Rock and Roll Marathon series gives extra medals for people who complete more than one of their events in a year. The 26.2 medal is for completing two half marathons . The 39.3 is for completing one full and one half in one year. The triple crown is for completing any three Rock and Roll events in one year. You can view the other heavy medals at
