Run It Fast®

This is the medal for the Tour De Pain which took place on August 10-11, 2012 in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Tour De Pain is 3 races: a 4 mile beach run on Friday night, a 5K on Saturday morning, and a 1 mile on Saturday night. The times for all 3 races are then added together. It would be a challenge to figure out how hard to run each race!

This is the medal for the 30th Annual Elvis Presley 5K run that was held on August 11, 2012 in Memphis, Tennessee.

I’m sure there were quite a few Elvis sightings that day. If you were fast enough to catch him anyway. 😉 Congratulations to RIF #33 Robin Robbins for winnig the Men 55-59 age group at the 5K!

This is the medal for Tap ‘N’ Run that was held on August 11, 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The race is “a 4k with 4 beer chug stations“. Always convenient for the post race celebration when your medal is also a bottle opener!

This is the medal for The SeaWheeze Lululemon Half Marathon that was held on August 11, 2012 in Vancouver, BC.

This is a very unique medal. But not only is it a medal, it’s also a key chain and the ribbon is shoe laces. Have to love multi-purpose bling! I love the message on it too.

This is the medal for the Runyon 5K that was held on August 12, 2012 in New York.

The runners in this 5K get to run through Yankee Stadium! The runners speed along the concourses, ramps, stairs between levels, and the warning track that circles the field. Very cool race course! Check out the course description here: Runyon 5K Route.

This is the medal for the Hottest Half Marathon that was held on August 12, 2012 in Dallas, TX.

This is the second half marathon that Teal & Beth did as part of the Four Seasons Challenge. Spring and summer are complete and they well get extra bling when they complete the other 2 seasons. Very cool way to keep runners motivated to run all year. Can’t wait to see what the Four Seasons bling looks like.

I love this fiery medal. It’s perfect for a summer race!

This is the “medal” for the Blister In The Sun Marathon that was held on August 5, 2012 in Cookeville, Tennessee.

Not exactly a medal but it sure is hot bling! XXX Fire Orange Habanero Hot Sauce would definitely require lots of cold beverage with any meal this was added too! Fun stuff.

Congrats to RIF #1 Josh for going sub 4 and getting 9th overall while still recovering from the Last Annual Vol State 500K!

There were quite a few RIF Club members at Blister In The Sun. Here are a few of them:

#79 Dallas, #1 Josh, #13 Mikki, and #165 David

This is the medal for the ET Full Moon Midnight 51K/Marathon/Half Marathon/10K that was held on August 5, 2012 in Rachel, Nevada.

The race takes place on the Extraterrestrial Highway near the infamous Area 51 and is held as close to the full moon as possible. The race has a staggered start with the 51K and marathon starting at midnight, then the half marathon, and finally the 10K. All races finish at the Little A’le’Inn restaurant. It’s a fun race with lots of costumed and glow in the dark runners.

The medal is awesome and has all the fun elements of the race on it. Love the runner alien and “the end is near” sign. And the moon glows in the dark! I love it. I might be a little biased though since I earned this running the 51K. 🙂 Also, big congratulations to PJ Johnson RIF #87 who ran the half marathon!

Here is another photo of the medal and a photo of me with PJ before the bus ride to the start.
