If you're anything like me you had a lot of this lying around.
Some mean more to me than others, but my marathon bibs are very important to me. It's not the bib per se, but the memory. The blood, sweat and tears that went into the training and eventually the marathon. I don't want to ever forget my marathons or the memories that were created running them.
Enter Mile Stones. Mile Stones is a shop on Etsy that helps you preserve your marathon memories. When I saw what Mile Stones could do I immediately fell in love.
They are able to turn your bib....
into coasters.
I mean seriously how cool is that? Picture it. You're sitting around the house with a few invited guests, sipping a glass of wine, and enjoying some appetizers. Your said guest asks for a coaster as not to ruin your coffee table. You fumble around searching, "I know I've got some somewhere," all the while thinking to yourself you don't care about that damn Ikea table. "Oh here you go, just use these," and you turn to walk away.
"Wait, what is this?" your guest exclaims. "Oh that? That's just my bib from the time I ran 26.2 miles. It's no big deal." Ha!
It will also be a lot more impressive when used in these instances:
- Make new friends that don't know you run
- Invite over ONLY people who are couch potatoes
- Talk about it incessantly to your kids' friends when they are teenagers
- Save them until you're 90
No matter the situation, I thought they were pretty cool and thats why I bought them for Bianca and Julie for Christmas. Sorry ladies that they are just now arriving. I hope it was worth the wait. Now invite over a friend and impress them with your badassness.
P.S. No bibs were harmed in the making of these coasters. You can request your original bib be returned or you can send in a laser copy of the bib if that makes you more comfortable. I sent the original bibs and they came back in the same condition in which they were sent out.
I should also mention it wasn't Mile Stones' fault that the coaster were received late. I missed the Christmas cutoff date by 3 days. Boo for me, but I was able to wrap up a picture of the coasters to give Julie and Bianca and let them know what would be coming.
