Well This one I have put off for what feels like forever. As most of you would remember I ran the 10km at Gold Coast Marathon Festival last year as one of my big goals. Well I bought the lovely photos that went with it, kept the race number and the medal and wanted to put them up framed as a good momento of that life changing goal of mine.

Every time I looked in the cupboard at the medal and the race bib, I reminded myself “yeah ill do that this weekend” then something came up, i got lazy, or just plain forgot to do it. Well I finally pulled my finger out about 6 weeks ago and bought a frame to put it in, along with some glass for it. Then procrastination took over again and it sat and did nothing for about another 2 weeks till I remembered to get the cardboard. Dad cut out the backing wood for it out of some old scrap masonite we had lying around. Again it sat as procrastination took over till this morning where I had some free time and thought, I should really just get this done and dusted and put together so I can get it all up on the wall and done.

So I spent the 30 minutes or so it took to get it all together, with my dad’s help thanks to his old work ways coming out wanting to take over to make sure its all perfect, in getting it all mounted and ready to get secured by the frame store (they use some special pin things that they said they would put in for free for me).

Total Cost: $30
Estimated Cost at store: $85!
