Boston Marathon Medal -- size (Read 689 times)

    Not sure what category this really goes under, but it doesn't feel like it should be under "Racing."

     

    I was over at a buddy's house last night and noticed on one of his glory walls his 2009 Boston finisher's medal (as part of a collage with his bib, picture, and what not).  It is considerably bigger than mine.  Did they increase the size of the medals since 2007 (the last one I have)?  Or was this a special "extra" medal provided only if you order the special-memory-shadow-box thingy?  [I couldn't ask him myself because he wasn't actually there -- long story].  Anyway, sorry if this is common knowledge and I'm asking an old, long-settled question.

      Yep, they got bigger recently. Don't remember whether it was 2008 or 2009.

        I know I can't fit all my glory on just one wall.

          My 2008 medal is pretty small.

            Lol.  Me, I just have a glory nightstand drawer, and when the two year old gets into it my glory diminishes.

             

            Bhearn, thanks for the confirmation.  I figured, but knew someone on here could confirm.

              my glory wall contains four woodies*. they are sort of smallish woodies, but size doesn't matter, right?
