When we launched Run It Fast – The Club ten weeks ago, we promised a brand-spanking-new Garmin 310xt would be given away to one of the first 150 members to join.

We got to 150 members pretty quickly, and it’s time now to select which RIF-Club member will win the Garmin.

The drawing is going to consist of two drawings. In the first drawing, I’m going to use Random Number Generator to select 10 different Run It Fast – Club numbers. These ten members, along with their RIF #’s, will be listed below.

Tomorrow I’ll use the Random Number Generator again using the #’s 1-10 (as labeled below) to decide who the winner will be.

And the 10 Finalists Are…

1. RIF #64 – Leah Harrison
2. RIF #90 – Marcia Larsen
3. RIF #23 – Jennifer Lazar
4. RIF #32 – Scott Lochridge
5. RIF #141 – Brian Wooldridge
6. RIF #61 – Amanda Cottingham
7. RIF #18 – Rick Jarvis
8. RIF #15 – Amber Goetz-Bouchard
9. RIF #85 – Brett Beckham
10. RIF #36 – Bryan Snyder

So these are the lucky ten that will have their name in the hat tomorrow for the Garmin 310xt.

Here is the finisher’s medal from the 35th Lincoln Marathon that took place on May 6, 2012 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Pretty medal and an exact replica of the Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon Medal (see HERE). Not sure which one went to this design first, but I’d bet on this one above since it is the 35th running of the event.

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Toronto Marathon that took place on May 6, 2012 in Toronto, Canda.

This medal says O’Canada through and through. It’s a nice piece of bling that feels almost as if it was given out at the Calgary Winter Olympics.

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Long Branch Half Marathon that took place on May 6, 2012 in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Not sure why but it reminds me of an old music video, “I’ve Got The Power!!!”

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Avenue of the Giants Marathon that took place on May 6, 2012 in Humboldt Redwoods State Park just south of Eureka, California.

1. This is an extremely beautiful and colorful medal. A lot of design and thought went into it.

2. This is a great example of how to photograph your medal.  A solid color background – in this case a dark redwood tree which was a major highlight of running this race.

Great Medal – Great Photography!

Here is the finisher’s medal from the Wisconsin Marathon that took place on May 5, 2012 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

I love the colors, picture, and heritage of the state in this photo. I just feel bad that the waitress was beaten the night before posing for the medal.  Hopefully someone reported that.  Surely Mel was the first one the detectives questioned.
