Amuse me.
chasing the impossible
because i never shut up ... i blog
Hmmm. no! But I did wear my Boston marathon shirt two days in a row after the race. I looked like a canary. Yellow really doesn't suit me at all, but I didn't care.

My first HM medal yes or I tried but soon figured out it isn't made for that so I hung it from my rearview mirror for a day and still will for a day or two if I am really proud of it.

I take mine off before I clear the finish area.
For realz?
I can't think of a scenario where you could pull this off. Walking around town? At work? At home? From the finish line till you walk in the front door of your house is about it. And only because it's easier than carrying it.
The shirt? OK. Because it's, you know, a shirt, and you would be wearing one anyway. Unless you wore it somewhere you would not normally wear a t-shirt.

I see people at Disney walking the parks with the medals after the race. Other than that, I cannot imagine doing it elsewhere. Hmmm, I have my medals here, should I wear one to the office today?

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I'm with Dave. I wear mine until I get home and then it goes on the hanger. I did wear my Boston shirt to work on Boston day this year and I will again next year. Then again, I have a job where no one will really question the propriety of doing so.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
I have a coworker who came to work wearing red pajamas once because she wanted to wear red the day of the Christmas party so wearing a medal has to be less unprofessional than that, no?
That is not the person you want to use to set your standards of professionalism.
No. Sometimes I wear the shirt if I like it (but certainly not to work!)

No, they go straight home and on the Christmas tree.
You people have issues
I wear pyjamas (you say pajamas, I say pyjamas ) at work, for the Christmas party, every year. And so do all my co-workers. Of course, they're all pre-schoolers, but that's not the point. The point is that Christmas parties should be wild affairs.
And you are talking about the one that answered the phone, yelled HOLD ON JUDGE, and passed me through during a hearing. No wonder there was silence in the courtroom when I answered the phone.
Since then, she is on a special project out of the public eye. Ha.
For the record -- I vote "hell no." I wear it home from the race (because then I don't have to carry it), and that's that.But some of you do know why I'm asking this question, I'm sure.
