What does an Inn in Covington, Ga., have in common with me? A simple number: 2119.

I got a special piece of mail today — my bib number for the Richmond Marathon. I looked it up on the Internet and didn’t find too much … except a bunch of addresses, including 2119 The Inn – Covington, a bed and breakfast in a town in George that I know nothing about. 2119 is also House Bill 2119 in Washington State, a bill introduced last year on “expanding dual credit opportunities” that was eventually signed into law.

After looking up more on my race number in my last race, I am growing more and more intrigued about looking into race numbers. Part of me wants to dig up old numbers and find a bigger meaning behind them. Maybe it’s weird, but to me it’s part of making sure I continue to have fun with running.
