Many runners pin their bib numbers to the wall as a sign of their running achievements. Me, the only bib numbers I’ve kept are these two…
The BOTAK marathon last May, where I could only run 10 km because my right knee gave up on me. And my newest bib to be posted, the 2009 Pasig International Marathon… where I wasn’t able to join the starting line because I didn’t wake up early enough. Unlike other runners, these are the bibs I put up… those runs where I failed the most. I put them up so I would always be reminded that whatever achievments I have, there are still a lot of areas to be improved upon. I put them up so I would remember how and why I failed… so as not to commit the same mistakes again.
