#14!
I am very grateful to Paul Nagel for personal crafting this medal rack for my 13 marathon medals…looking forward to hanging #14 after Boston on April 20th! Each one of these races was a battle, and each one was offered up for more priestly vocations and other special intentions. Grateful to God for the gift of running!
