Medal + t-shirt = perfect combo  Especially if they manage to get decent t-shirts you can actually wear or run in or something
It's quite nice if you get a figurine or something, but I never know what to do with them |

I hadn't either. Mine are currently "displayed" coiled up on a shelf in the spare room. I only have three at the moment, but my instructor's upped the pace of gradings a bit, so I might have 5 by the end of the year, if all goes well.

They used to give a piece of local lace at The old Nottingham Marathon. Do they still? Is IT still on the calendar?

Personally, a letter on re-cycled paper telling me they'd bought some goats or whatever, for an African village would be cool.Keep them in a folder and have a look at them every now and then
