There are about 520 legacy runners this year, and only about 100-200 will be getting the yellow legacy bibs, the rest will just have a legacy sticker on a regular bib. They did tell me that you can get the special yellow bib at the legacy medal table. They printed them all out, so we can have the intended bib.

Originally Posted By Kidz-n-k9s I'm happy with my race. It wasn't a PR, but it wasn't my worst time either. Since I am 9 months post-ankle surgery, I wasn't sure how it would go and I wasn't that much off my pace from last year. So I feel pretty good about conquering 13.1 on my still weak ankle. I enjoyed the reroute through the parks this year, especially seeing Circle D in the backlot (I love horses!). I was surprised to see Drew Carey's time of 1:50, and didn't recognize him being so thin. I have yet to break 2:20, so I'm very much impresssed with your sub 2 time Sun. I think I might've been close to doing a full marathon on Sunday - 13.1 in the race and then walking in the parks the rest of the day. I'm going to skip next year as I just can't take another summer of training in the Phoenix heat. I haven't decided yet, but might do Tinkerbell in 2013 (I have a conflict for 2012). I'd love a Coast-to-Coast one year too.

Just be sure in your off time, you keep it strong My next race is Chicago full in october and the LA RNR 1/2 in oct, then nothing until TInkerbell in jan. My race season is here! Thanks! I was pacing my friend in his first 1/2 (he ran 2:02!!) I stayed with him until angel stadium, then I took off and managed to squeeze by with a 1:59 haha, my best is 1:52, I was nowhere near that. I am annoyed that Drew Carey beat me, looks like I have to break 1:50 next time haha.

I did manage to beat Jeff Galloway (the guy with the training programs) by about 5 minutes, so that's got to be worth something, right? Just ignore the fact that I'm a few of decades younger than him...

I mean I know he was an olympic runner and professional. But dude is 66, does a marathon a month + half marathons, and cleans up the mid pack. hehe. Flea barely squeezed by me in the LA Marathon. I run a faster half than him, but his full is still 15 min faster than me. I'm not embarassed to be slower than him though. hehe
