Celebrate Your Accomplishments: A Giveaway!

  • Kerrie

Several months ago, I won a Lift Your Sole giveaway. I got a Marathon Mom charm and 13.1 charm. I was planning on getting the 26.2 charm after NODM. But that didn’t happen because the 26.2 didn’t happen.

On June 3rd, I wrote, “It’s Time to be Here, Not There,” and I realized that I had not worn my necklace since my last really long training run, an 18 miler, on May 2nd. Normally, I wear the necklace at races or during long runs — whenever I think I need a little extra confidence — as a reminder of what I’ve done. On June 3rd, I guess I needed a little reminding.

After I finished writing that day, I thought about what I’ve done in the last 300 or so days: I’ve run two half marathons! That’s pretty good. Half marathons aren’t easy.

I’m a runner, I remembered. I should be proud of that. And maybe I don’t have a full marathon under my fuel belt just yet, but I did complete three half marathons, a 10K and a 5K in less than a year. Not too shabby.

Recently, I realized I had been so focused on 26.2 that I forgot to celebrate 13.1. Basically, I’d been looking too far into the future. So, I went online and bought a cool 13.1 sticker to put on the back of my minivan.

And I wore my 13.1 charm during the half at NODM.

Do you have a “sticker”? How do you celebrate your accomplishments?

Maybe you need a necklace!

    So far every time I've finished training for my goal distance I've signed up for the next one to celebrate – learn-to-run to 10k to half marathon to marathon. Not sure what I'll do once that's over… as long as I catch the marathon bug I'll celebrate by deciding which one I'll do next!
