No, this isn’t one of those random numbers on LOST. The title of this post is MY BIB NUMBER for the RnR Las Vegas Marathon!

This means:

* I legitimately signed up for and will be running this marathon. I registered so long ago that I’ve been intermittently afraid that something might have gone wrong and I wouldn’t be in the system.

* There are a shit ton of people running this race. Approximately.

One of those people, I’ll have you know, is Kate Gosselin. Bart Yasso informed me of this fact via The Twitter.

Obviously I have to beat her. I have no idea how fast she runs, but that’s my new A+ goal. Heh.

Update: A comment on this Kate Gosselin article says, “I heard she is running with the 4 hr pace group!” And her blog suggests that she clicks off 8:30 miles like it ain’t no thang. NOOOOOOOOOO!

In other news, last night I ran 3 miles on the treadmill at a 9:30 pace. It was slow and boring, but I’m well aware that I need to go easy on my legs this week and just get the miles in.

I’ve read that I should go into the marathon feeling like a caged animal, so I just kept thinking during this run, “Caged animal. Caged animal. Caged animal.”

RAWR.
