    I save my numbers and route sheets! They are like trophies to me. Glad I'm not alone.

    Yup, I've held onto my race bibs from running 5k's up to my marathon and my cycling numbers as well. I think I am going to make wind chimes out of the medals though, instad of letting them sit in a box.

    You'd better believe it!

    Just like you, I was unathletic, overweight, miserable. Now I'm an athlete! I've got my race numbers clipped to fishing line and strung up along the wall around the top of my kitchen. 15 of them at the moment; there will be 16 after Sunday. My two race medals (1/2 marathon and marathon) are hanging off a picture frame in the kitchen. I went to flatten out my marathon number with a iron--but forgot that you can't put an iron directly against a plastic race number! Fortunately, only the corner melted. Lise--a towel between plastic and metal!

    I have saved every road race (running) and bike event that I have participated in. They hang on a bulletin board that covers most of a wall in my computer room. I think they are a sign of accomplishment

    Don't have any, but you bet I'd save 'em if I did!

    I wish you could get one, retrospectively, for that holly bush tumble you took. L.

    Yep

    The medals, the trophies, the numbers, and.................the pins that came with them....just kidding about the pins.

    Some of my numbers have be destroyed by the mud that goes along with mt bike racing, but everything that is not in shreads, I save.
