Have you ever been at a loss for a gift? If you have a runner in your life, then this is the perfect gift! If you are looking for a unique gift that will be appreciated for years to come, this keychain commemorating a particular race, or a distance is a great idea.
I live in Florida. When I try to put those magnets on my car, it is only a matter of time before all the writing is faded off of them, or worse yet, someone steals it right off my car. I'll never forget the first 5k I completed after quitting a 30+ year smoking habit. I was so proud of the fact that I had completed it, that I rushed out and got an all-pink runner girl tattoo on my ankle. Needless to say, without any dark ink or outline, that tattoo is almost flesh colored this many years later and you almost can't even see it on my ankle! (probably a good thing there.)
When I received the keychain, I immediately noticed how nice the solid bronze metal medallion felt and I was impressed with its quality. I knew right then that this keychain was definitely nicer than any cheesy bumper sticker I could add to my car. I knew right away that I wanted to have it engraved but was concerned about whether the jeweler would tell me it was acceptable. My fears were for nothing! They added "14 in 2014″ on the back and it came out really nice!
Now every time I go in my car, my front door, or my office - wherever I need my keys - I'll always have an awesome reminder of the great accomplishment I completed last year. Because it already says "13.1" on the front, it is also a great reminder of the total of 32 half marathons I have completed to date.
This medallion is also available in other race distances - 5k, 10k, 13.1 and 26.2! That is a very good thing to know, since I"m doing my first full marathon this fall, I'll probably be heading back over to Amazon to pick up the 26.2 keychain to commemorate that big event!
This nice bronze keychain is also a fantastic way to show support and respect for family or friends who have finally achieved their goal and become a "Finisher". These are die-stamped, just the way coins are made, so the medallions have a really great feel to them, and it makes the metal smoother than if it was cast. Even better, they are actually made in the USA!! Show your special someone how proud of them you are and head over to Amazon to pick up a medallion! Heck, if you are moved, get one for yourself!
