If I'm traveling, I wrap the medal in it's ribbon and stick it in my purse. I've never done DL after a race. The one time I did WDW I tried to wear the medal in the parks, but I got tired of it banging against me when I walked and I got tired of people congratulating me. It felt silly to me to collect accolades from strangers on doing something I do on a regular basis. Other people may like the kudos. That's fine. Anyway, I ended up just sticking the medal in my purse. Gloves are a good idea, though, if you're worried about it getting scratched!Jennifer K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06606118336143343644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-47407413456837062702015-01-21T10:21:30.367-05:002015-01-21T10:21:30.367-05:00Ever since I bought gloves that have tech-friendly...Ever since I bought gloves that have tech-friendly fingers I love running with them!
