I remember the first time I ran a 5k and completed it without stopping, it was exhilarating! I crossed the finish line, grabbed a few pieces of fruit and sat down to savor my accomplishment.
Last year, I ran a quarter marathon. I completed it without stopping although prior to that day, I had never ran more than 4 miles. I was ecstatic!
But unless you’re a top finisher, you sometimes have nothing to commemorate the experience except a t-shirt. It was this thought process that led me to come up with map inspired 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon necklaces.
I love using domino tiles to make upcycled necklaces and I love the way these turned out.
Me and daughter #1 at at the Scioto Mile 5k (me) and 10k (her)
These necklaces can be purchased in my Etsy Shop.
Happy Running!

Love these - what a perfect way to mark such a grueling occasion (ok, maybe the 5k wasn't grueling)!
And I love seeing all your pretty pics of Rome - what a fabulous city and I can't wait to return!
Happy to be following!
