Here you will find photos of all of the medals I’ve acquired thus far in chronological order (most recent first). I thought it would be easier to perv over the goods if they were all in one place, leaving you free from the hassle of rifling through several blog posts. If you’re truly interested, I have attached a link to the race reports – just hover over the description of what event the medal is from. Enjoy!

Dear medal Slut. Quality blog and medal haul. Yes the EHF medal does look like the schlong of a stunted but well hung midget of indiscriminate origin. keep up the good work, and congrats on a sub 2hrs PB for 13 miles. May see you at half dram and loch ness….best rgds’ the man who would be king’….were he not fat old and bald…..
Thank you, good sir! Glad I’m not alone. I may indeed see you at either mentioned event, or any of the several in between or after!
Love your medal stash. I’m a fellow slut. I don’t know whether you already have one, but I got myself (given) a cool metal medal-hanger for my wall (I’d send you a picture, but this isn’t Facebook). Now instead of having all my medals in a shoe box I can admire them whenever I walk past. Only problem: I no longer want to do any races that *don’t* award finisher medals!
A totally normal reaction – I regularly find myself hunting for the sentence that says ‘All finishers receive a medal’!
I think I know the type of medal hangers you’re talking about, I was looking at some a while back. They were a bit on the pricey side, though, so I found my piece of driftwood does the trick just fine.
I love you Rachel! I thought I was alone in my medal whoring world. Thank you for sharing your story. P.S. Where is this “other” blog of you dressing slutty? I liked the leopard print costume.
You are definitely not alone!
And I’m afraid the answer to your question is: top secret. If you ever stumble upon it though, well done.
Hi. Just discovered your awesome blog. I am a Scot living in Canada and visited my parents last year (managed to slot in the Dundee half dram while back home) only to finish a very nice race with my medal being handed over in a plastic bag!!!!! Hoping to come back over to do the Edinburgh half in May. Did my first marathon in Columbus Ohio this year and the medal was placed around your neck by very delicious looking soldiers. Just saying Dundee. Take note. Ha ha.
Yep, if memory serves me well, our half Dram medals were in our plastic goody bags when we finished in July this year. A solider would be a much more welcome sight at the finish line! I did the Edinburgh half this year, and I’m thiiiiiiiiiiis close to signing up again this year, if only on the off chance they hand out even more suggestive medals!
Hi Medal Slut, We love your blog at Swift Medals, we have designed many of the beauties that you seek to collect! We look forward hearing your reviews on the medals and your upcoming races in 2013! Stay Slutty,
much love,

Hi Medal Slut, loved this entry!! I’m a real medal collector too and it’s always great to check out other people’s collections. Good inspiration for which races to do next!
I love the Edinburgh Rock and Rock half medal what a blinger!! I love that one! Sadly couldn’t do that one this year as was already signed up for something else that weekend and had VLM the week after so might have worn myself out
Can’t wait to see what you’ve collected from 2013!
The Rock ‘n’ Roll medal needed to be good after the less than pleasant experience it took to get one this year! Fingers crossed I’m lucky (for a change) in the VLM ballot this year – I’d love one of those!
