As a reward to myself for running marathons and half marathons (and as motivation to run more races - what women doesn't like
jewelry?), I asked for a charm bracelet for my 30th birthday. The
bracelet represents me as a runner and my growth in running. I have a
running girl charm; a charm that reminds me to ask "What would
the Connectors Do?" when I get frustrated and don't think I can go on;
and my "No More Excuses" charm - the Connectors motto.
After the Marine Corps
Marathon I added a charm to represent the race: a Marine Corps uniform hat
with the eagle and globe symbol on the top. After completing the
Disney Marathon in January I added a sterling silver Mickey Mouse to my
bracelet. After each marathon and half marathon, I will identify a
symbol to represent that race and I will add it to the bracelet. I
will also photograph the charm and post a photo here for all to see what I
have chosen to represent the race. I also have my penguin, and plan to
add Donald Duck to the bracelet after the Disney Half Marathon in January.
