I made this at work......
Thats pretty cool -- You could probably sell them.....
My race medals....I'd have to go looking for them but I 'think' they are hanging on a door knob in my work shed.......
Champions are made when no one is watching
I fly.
Marathon medals are in shadow boxes with my bib numbers and they hang in front of my treadmill.
Other medals (from 1/2s, winning age group awards, etc. hang in the back of my closet). Trophies (all 3 of them LOL) are on my fridge, mostly because I have no idea what else to do with them.
Bring it on.
Good Bad & The Monkey
I hide the evidence of my obsession in the back of my closet, where nobody can see it.
I still hide them.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

You should quote yourself in third person. As in "Trent still hides them".
Me? The only medal I have is from the 19(82?) Arco Jesse Owens games for the long jump. It is in a box in the basement I think. At age 13 I probably assumed it would be only the first in a long line of medals.
Maniac
I pick one and wear it on my daily run.
I'm doing that tomorrow.

In a pile. The best ones don't say where they're from, so I can grab one that says 3rd in age group, and show it to someone and say, I got this at Boston Marathon (or NYC, or Western States).
Except if they look close and see how it says 3rd in age group women's 40s, then I have to say, oops. wrong one, lemme try again...
Of course this tactic hinges on only showing them off to people who have never seen the real awards from those races -- which includes me.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
