One fine day I was at the office and I was waiting on my computer to be fixed. As I was waiting around for the repair guy I stopped in to one of my co-worker's cubes who I know is a runner. She had a run calendar up and it had the month and then highlighted dates. As I flipped through enjoying her inspirational pictures I stopped at the month of November to see what day my birthday would fall on.
As many of you know, my birthday is November 26. What you probably don't know is how miserable it is to have your birthday on November 26. Due to the holidays I am often just a side note on the long list of activities that everyone has going on. When my birthday falls on Thanksgiving, just forget about it. I might as well just pretend I'm a pilgrim, cause that's the only way people are going to think twice about me that day.
Sure enough, as I look at the calendar I see my birthday does indeed fall on Thanksgiving this year. My first thought was "Great...how awesome is it that my golden birthday will be not so golden." In the middle of my eye roll, that's when I saw it...the date was highlighted.
What's this? A race on my birthday? What race could this be? The Atlanta Marathon. Huh...marathons are 26.2 miles. 26.2 is the same forward and backward for 26. Huh. So ifffff, I did the Atlanta Marathon, I'd be doing 26.2 miles on November 26, when I turn 26, which happens to be my golden birthday and my first marathon. Wow! Now thaattt is what I'm talking about! SOLD!
