But actually in many instances I am a number. whether that's wearing my No.8 baseball jersey (for my diamond hero Cal Ripken - the Iron man) or race number 47344 whilst pounding the streets of the city that never sleeps.
numbers play an important part in every runners life, it might be the 26 miles 385 yards from Windsor Castle to White city or just 5km from home to the park or the lake. There's time.distance pace & for some calories & heart rate.
Ask any marathon runner & they will give you their Personal Best to the second without the blink of an eye, ask when their wedding anniversary is & prepare for the pause.........
This week i finally made it through my first 500 miles running, glad i ran every single one of them, i wouldn't want to have walked them & got confused with the bespectacled boys from Leith. It took me 51 days through the wind, rain, snow & ice. now onto my next goal to complete 200 miles in February.
Still almost 2 weeks until my next marathon & i'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful Cornish coast & enjoying the finisher reward of their world famous pasties :)
Keep on running
David.
