#1002

That's my bib number for my first half marathon.

I tried and tried to figure out some significance in the numbers, but couldn't. I came close to one. If it would have been #1003 it would have been easy.

10/03 ... which was yesterday's date. A date which carries with it memories of my father. So its close enough that I will have thoughts of him on the day of the race. As if it would have been any different from any other day. But I like to find significance in everything, so there ya go.

Now I just have to get my people list in order. One mile of the race per person to thank or just commemerate the mile with their spirit.

I like the idea of having a list of people to think about during a run. I tried it tonight and ran two miles without stopping. A first for me. Hope you don't mind, I gave you the credit on my blog.

Erin, I will keep the last .1 for me. In the grand scheme of things and others that have been in my life that made a difference, I am insignificant when it all comes down to it.
