Most of you know already that I am a once dubbed, now self proclaimed medal wh*re. Yes, it’s true. I will run a race just for the hardware. Granted, I am now learning to enjoy the fruits of my labor of a hard earned, well run race….but still…race medals to me are like those little mice full of catnip to cats. I can’t get enough. So needless to say, I’m really excited about this review for the
2010 HSGFTCR/TIYL (ha!)
Back in November of 2006, I started running. Back in those days, facebook was only for those in college and Myspace was where all the cool kids hung out. Upon starting my running journey, I joined a running group on Myspace. I met a few online friends that have stuck around through the years, and even through the transfer to facebook.
Fast forward a few years, and long story short, his idea has really taken off. It has become so much more, and now Allied Running Medal Hangers sells countless designs based off of Brad’s original ideas.

I think it would be cool to have a “family” one for couples or families who enjoy the sport together. Maybe “We Run” with the appropriate figures (man and woman, or man, woman, and child, or whatever)

They have some really great ones~
My fav’s:
Race Bling
I run this town
the triathlon figures
Runner with the girl (in pink)
Someday I will need one for just tri’s, 1/2’s, M’s, etc. etc.
*lol*
JenniferLeah
What ideas would I like to see for hangers?
Heavy Medals
Running Down a Dream
or how about adding a small picture frame to it so you can include a fav pic or something??
I like the Running Mom idea someone else posted, that’s cute! with the little mommy & jogger silhouette
I think you should have one with your blog name: RUN FASTER MOMMY!! in hot pink!

From the catalog, I like the one that says “Always Earned, Never Given” because hello, we earn these medals!
Dee
I’d love either the Pink or the marathoner hanger, i’m not picky :-). Checked out Allied’s website, I am in love with the cityscape and the swim/bike/run hangers.
Dee
My suggestion for a hanger is a simple “I Did It! with a racer (boy or girl) cutout arms raised high breaking the tape.

I would suggest they have one like the 13.1/26.2 Female… only for different lengths (maybe 5K/10K… or a sprint/olympic one for triathletes).

I have to say, some of your bling is HUGE!? I like the pink runner hanger but I’m thinking that I’d like to go with a custom one since my only bling is from two different triathlons. I will send you a picture of where my bling is currently residing…it’s unusual. 🙂

What a timely post. I just bought one of these TWO DAYS AGO for my husband. I liked the designs on the web site, but I wanted it longer, so they said they could accommodate me, and would make me a longer hanger. I already LIKE them on Facebook, and I would love to win the MALE hanger so my husband can have two of them.

Of the two up for grabs, I like the pink Runner Girl. As for the choices on the website, I like the 13.1 and 26.2 only I’d get them without the running figures.
That’s actually the exact order I put in earlier this week and–hint, hint–I’ve got a third coming for an Allied Steel giveaway of my own!!

I like the 13.1/26.2 female hanger. Also like the pink Runner Girl cause i LOVE pink!
Cynthia
I would suggest something that says “I Heart Running” (maybe a heart instead of the word in the center if its possible). Also like the saying “miles to go before i sleep” so maybe a shorter version could be “miles to go”
Cynthia

Hello!
I am subscribed to your blog, and liked Allied Steel Medals on FB, browsed the catalog (my favorite one is the hot pink running girl!!).
I also have a suggestion for a medal. “Harder.Better.Faster.Stronger.” (My little personal running manta).
I only have one medal at the moment. I think having one of these hanging on my wall would help motivate me to sign up for more races! Off to take a picture of my lonely medal!
