Can you imagine what this is?
OK, we can all see that it has something to do with the Lisbon Marathon in 2004.
Zoom out ...
It's a shiny silver finisher anorak from Maratona de Lisboa '04.
It was my first marathon, run on April 20th in 2004, obviously. I was quite satisfied with the result of 3:39 and something.
The day was cold for Lisbon standards with 10 degrees and a bit of rain.
I will tell you the full story about this marathon some other day. The reason why I am showing off with this anorak is that the thing had reached the end of its usability. I won't keep it just for the sake of the memory.
I do have two other memorabilia from my first marathon. Let them remain a secret for now.
What items do you keep to remind you of your achievements? Besides your fond memories, of course.
Oh man. That's way better than the stuff I've usually gotten at races -- typically just shirts and garbage. I need to sign up for some better races!

No matter how high your peak is: what matters is to commit yourself to reach it?
