Morning All

So I was sitting on the bike rolling my legs over this morning and got to thinking - always dangerous!

And particularly about numbers.

In 2009, the race day was 11/10/09 - I had a great run!

In 2010, the race day was 10/10/10 and I was running my 10th marathon - I ran a massive PB and had a great run.

In 2011, the race day wil be 9/10/11 and I will be running my 12th marathon.

These numbers surely mean that Sunday will be an awesome day!

I am not after a PB as I am pacing but it surely is a good omen for those people I am trying to help!

See you Sunday!

Dave

Far too long on the bike Grizzly. Interesting to see what you can make of next year. AFL GF on 29 Sep 12, so MM on 07/10/12? I can see a mathematical progression but I guess its possible with any set of numbers depending on how far you want to go.

Yes, 13 of them will finish in 14 hours. Or perhaps DNF at 14km :(

Yes, 9/10/11 will be my 12th road marathon.

Maybe it means I'm going to do 3:45.

Although I've come down with a bit of a cold - maybe I'll do more like 4:32
