If you are a runner, you most likely have a few too many homeless race medals and/or bibs. Maybe they have been tossed in a drawer, or maybe they continually do the "desk shuffle," as you debate the perfect way to display them. Since my husband seems to have formed a new habit, and loves running half marathons, we had the same problem with his race medals. He wanted a way to display them that wasn't lame or cheesy, so I came up with a more manly craft. It lacks a little luster for my taste, but it also matches the stain of other pieces in the room and looks good in the space.

| I stained the wood and started measuring to evenly distribute the hooks |
 |
First hook placed! Yes, this involved some drilling...
I did it without the hubby's help! |
 |
| 4 hooks for the 4 marathons |
 |
Here's the final product. If I had my way, I would have added a saying -
maybe "runner," or "marathons." But, after all, they aren't my medals! |
Now my husband can look at them everyday and continue to be inspired to keep on runnin'. We will keep adding more hooks for every new marathon. I think it will be a nice tradition!
