I think the general hypothesis is the 30k numbers are team...did you register as a team? If so, don't worry, you'll still be placed according to your time. Previously all 20k bib #'s were teams...we're thinking the individual #'s went over 20k this year, so 30k's are the new team #'s.
So to make a long story short, I had a stress fracture in my tibia that I thought was shin splints (turns out I had that too). Went to the sports med doc, went to PT and it's doing well. My training has been going welll and I'm sore after long runs but not pain. But last night I did 12 miles and at mile 5 my ankle started to hurt. But I kept going because this was my last long run before I taper. The pain (not unbearable) lasted the whole remaining time and it's painful today. What would cause something this suddenly, something that I've never had before? My shoes (Brooks Pure Flow) are not ready to be replaced by any means but also not so new that I haven't run in them enough to know that they don't cause pain. I run on an indoor track every time and nothing has changed. I'm so frustrated! why would this just pop up?
This is going to sound weird but I think my feet are different. My right foot rubs against any arch (I'm in neutral shoes because stability cause all sorts of issues) but I think that the left foot might need more. Strange?
Okay, well that makes sense. We did register as a sister team and then my friend decided to register later but we did not add her to our team. She is all freaked out that we wont be in the same corral.

#6716 here, and hubby is 14081. So excited. Now, coral guesses?
Mine is 10020. I could run hard at the local 10K this weekend, and I'd probably move up one corral. I don't think it's worth the risk of injury so close to the PHM, especially since I've been sick.
Princess Morgan, you asked about the race. I know nothing about it other than that it is the only 10K being run anywhere around here before the PHM. Lol. I signed up only to get myself out of the last corral if that's where I ended up being assigned. It's in Alexandria but not the scenic part. Based on the map, it looks like you run out Eisenhower Avenue and back, which is more industrial. If you decide to sign up, let me know. My friend and I will say hi! And you can feel free to run with us if you're similarly paced (we go around a 13 minute per mile and walk from time to time when we feel like we need to).
This thread is on fire!!
I think I'm in the same boat. #6793. I had a better bid number for the marathon. Last year I submitted the same 10K time and was #3400 and was in corral B. Not sure which would be better, my 2:29 half PR or 10K 1:09 from 2011. Guess I'll bring both.
How did you ladies get your bib #'s? Thanks!
Did anyone get a cool number? Like the Jean Val Jean number #24601? Or the Enterprise number #1701? Or the Mickey number #1928? I've always wanted something like that.
I saw our stepsister had 6660...that's pretty cool
Okay completely off topic but considering how many people here are costume wearers I am hoping someone may be able to point me in a hopeful direction. I am looking to get a Star Trek costume but as I have discovered apparently no one has informed the costume makers yet that not all female Trekkies fit a size medium or smaller. Anyone know where I can possibly find a red or blue dress that can be modified into a costume? I would love you!
