I am 13448

Apparently bib numbers have been out since January, but I only realized this today. I'm 13448... this means I'll be in Wave I with numbers 1-14000, starting at 10AM along with the elite men. (The elite women start at 9:32.) Wave II consists of numbers 14000+, at least 8,000 more runners, and starts at 10:30AM. 

So much for the numbers! 

I picked up another book on the history of the Boston marathon from the library today: Boston: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Boston Athletic Association Marathon. It's full of color pictures and written by Hal Higdon, whose training plans I've been drawing on in preparation... No wonder it's so hard to get out of the chair and onto the next order of business, getting quarters for laundry!

(Today's run was an easy hour in the morning... I ran a loop around the Lake Union nature preserve, around Husky stadium, on the mushy mulch of the arboretum islands, saw the UW crew team practicing... I have to see about getting some pictures up,  we're in such a beautiful neighborhood for running!)
