This morning I went and picked up my race packet for yet another half marathon (yes, I know I just ran one last weekend... and I know my race schedule is interfering with my marathon training).
I love goodies... a long-sleeve technical tee, and a few extra goodies, mostly from Clif. And did you notice my cool bib number? Nice and low, despite this being a decent-sized event (about 3500 runners). For you,
TMB... let's translate the bib number. 9 is my lucky number... add that center 1 to either 8 and you get 9. And this is my 7th half marathon (which is occuring on the 7th of November)... subtract that center 1 from either 8 and you get 7. But despite all that good numbers ju-ju... I will not be "racing" tomorrow... I will be running. Priority #1 right now is to get to the starting line of the marathon healthy. I got my half marathon PR last weekend, and I feel no need to challenge it right now. I'm hoping to run this half at marathon pace. Looking forward to meeting up with
Sherry to push through this "training" run.
After I picked up my packet, I went to go see an amazing group of women - the Susan G. Komen 3-day Breast Cancer walkers. They were on day 2 of their walk (20 miles per day for 3 days). The girls were thrilled to cheer them on and hand out candy (although I'm pretty sure Paige ate 1 for every 10 she handed out). Congratulations to the amazing ladies that participated in this event. A special shout-out to Alisha, Chrystyna, Dina, Lyndsey, Jamie, and Jackie. Congratulations ladies and thank you for the amazing effort you put forth to raise money and awareness for breast cancer!
After 3 1/2 hours on my feet at that, it's time to rest and hydrate for tomorrow.

awww sweet of you and the girls to do that =)
Haha, you have a crazy race schedule!!! There is no way I could handle so many races during marathon training. You rock, mama! Enjoy your run tomorrow. :) My half starts at 8 a.m., so let's send each other good vibes!
Love that you did some number crunching. It's also a very good number because no matter how you flip it, it's the same. I like when numbers look pretty like that! Good luck and have fun not racing ...
That is great to support those walkers!
Have a great run tomorrow! :)
Have a great race. I love long sleeve technical tees - great race shirt.
Good luck on your race! Best wishes :)
enjoy the race! i do the same thing with numbers! yay :)
Good luck to you!! Have a fun race/run!
Love that you did the little TMB thing with your bib :) Makes me smile! Have fun tomorrow!
Very cool! Good luck in your Half! :0)
At Livestrong I somehow managed to get bib 1234 which was cool. What was odd was that when lining up at the start (there were 5400 riders) every bib from 1233 to 1237 was right next to me and we all picked up our packets at different times.
hope the race was fabulous!
That's a nice looking shirt - I like the colors!
