So, to keep up with the Joneses (er... Mergas and  Cheruiyots), we've sent out bibs to those who have pre-registered for the Hop.  And our race bibs are not confined to the Natural set of numbers, nor Integers, nor even Rationals.  You can have your favorite number as long as it hasn't yet been claimed.

   Feeling left out?  There's still time to register, though the cost has doubled.  Fortunately, since the original cost was zero, the new cost is zero times two, which is still zero.

   If you're interested in doing a warm-up run on Sunday, the BAA 5K numbers aren't out yet, and registration is still open for that race.  Yours Truly ran it last year, and it's a lot of fun.  You don't even have to qualify for it.
