i have a bib number!

this should not be exciting. but secretly i have been having random thoughts like 'maybe i imagined registering? maybe i'm not really going to be able to run the marathon. i will just have to go to detroit and run around in circles pretending.'

but now i got an email, and then i went to a website, and now i am bib number 6474, so it is REAL.

actually this makes me feel much better. at least if it all goes to hell, i will be there officially.

my last 'speedwork' run tonight.
12 days to go.
doin' it.
