No ideas for you.

The Equinox doesn't give medals...we get a patch instead. I have 6 of them. They're in a drawer. The Bay State does give medals. I have two of those, and those sit in the same drawer.

I have a tupperware container in a closet somewhere with my race medals in it.

I don't have any marathon medals      but I have a bunch of race medals I hang on my elliptical trainer. They clang around when I cross train and remind me of my goals. I hope to get my first marathon medal next spring.

My first marathon medal...is hanging on the thermostat in my office so I can gaze proudly at it when I'm having an "I'm not worthy" moment.

Now, what do I do with the Wheaties box with my marathon picture on it?

Like FlyingFinn, I don't have marathon medals (just the Disney 1/2 one from this yeargo Donald!), but I've gotten several from 5K races in the area. I have them, as well as all of my race bibs (8 or 9 total now) stapled to a wall in my classroom at school that's covered with the tinfoilish wrap thingy they gave me when I finished at Disney. It's about 3' X 3' , so it makes a neat bulletin board.<br /><br />It's my "shrine to me!", and my 7th graders see that I'm not embarrassed about my slower times and that I picked up a new hobby at 35.  !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!<br /><br /><br />--

I give my medals to the kids.  They like to wear them around for a couple days.  But, when I run my first marathon, I might keep that one for myself.

My marathon medals are on my shelf at work.  When I get a few more of them, I'm going to have them framed.  I am proud of my marathons so I want to be able to enjoy my medals to remind me of the experience.
