My bib number

I logged on to the Boston Marathon site yesterday and got my bib number - it's 13090. Last year I was somewhere around 14125. The First Wave of runners (bib numbers 0-13,999 start at 10:00) and Second Wave runners (bib numbers 14,000-20,000+) start at 10:30. So, I'm happy to be starting in the first wave and at the back of that wave. That way, I'll be motivated to stay with the faster runners for a while. I will likely cross the starting line 10-15 minutes after the 10:00 start (due to the sheer volume of people starting at that time). Then I can stay motivated to stay in front of the Second Wave runners for as long as possible. Should be fun.

You can follow my progress on race day (Monday, April 20) by logging on to the Boston Marathon website and searching for me by name or bib number. They will be posting every 5K split (3.2 miles) which should mean every 25-33 minutes for me.
