I can't believe it's been almost 6-months since the City of Trees Marathon. Now that all the training is over, I'm finally at a point where things are settling down and I'm looking back over that long and tiresome race with fond memories—though not quite so fond that I'm ready to sign up for a second marathon.
I was approached by Printcopia a little while ago about trying out one of their canvas prints. Of course I jumped at the chance, since I hadn't had a moment to get one of our marathon prints framed yet and knew it was going to be the center-point for the future "running wall" that will eventually hang somewhere in our house. I've saved all my race bibs and medals over the years, and plan on framing each alongside a photo from that race—each of which was run with my mom.
If you're interested in snagging a good deal on a canvas of your own, Printcopia is having a special deal (thru 3/9) right now for one 18x24 print for $34.99, plus free shipping.
This canvas print is the first piece of the running wall, and I look forward to add other pieces as time goes on (like these tiny printed polaroids!). I'd love to know—do you have a wall of memories in your home? A place for race numbers, trophies, things that hold a special place in your heart that signify an accomplishment you achieved?
Disclosure: While I did receive the canvas for free, I was not paid to write this post. I genuinely love and support this business and can't recommend their services enough.

I love the idea of the running wall. Such a great way to remember those moments
So beautiful! Love the print!
I really want to do a memory wall in my new house. I want to do different frames, different colours and just make a mish-mosh that all fits together. :)
Love the print you chose! I'm excited to see what your running wall will look like!

I can't wait to do my first half. As soon as I have this surgery I'm going to heal up and start training. The half is not till Nov so I have tons of time.
*BTW* I'm moving to Hawaii! Guess I'm joining the HI ANG now or at least try to. <3
You'll be the fastest girl in your basic flight if you keep up your running!
I don't have a running wall (my poor knees can't handle running), but I love this! I have a writing wall, does that count? :P
Thanks Brittany! It's going to be a work in progress... that's the best part about it though !
That's such a fun idea. I have seen a couple of those, like gallery walls, and they look so good!!! It's like a big collage of memories :)
Thanks Chelsea! I was so excited that my husband caught that moment. It was better than any professional photo taken that day :)
So excited for you... you'll get to train during the best part of the year! WHATTTT HAWAIIII? Take me with you! I'd love to join their Air Guard. How awesome for you!!!
Thanks so much, Dina. That's what I'm working toward. Who knows who will be down there, but I just want to get a time under 9, and even closer to 9:30 if I can :)
Yes it sure does. It's a brag wall, and it's all for you! Love it!
What a great idea for a print!

You're welcome! That company is so great to work with... can't recommend them enough :)
Oh gosh, thanks so much, KC!!! I have been trying SO HARD to get them up there. I wonder what the other girls PT times/numbers will be like down in BMT> I can't wait to find out and hopefully have some good people to push me even harder!
Yes! I'm so excited!
