Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 91, race bibs.

You may think this is an odd topic for a whole podcast episode, but there really is quite a lot to discuss.

And the most important, by far, is what to do if you have a

bib because you register for a race, but then you find you cannot run. What do you do? That is topic

number one, but there's really actually quite a lot to cover. So let's get started. Besides that,

we'll talk about the two most important ways to attach a bib and why one is better than the other

how your bib ensures your safety timing strips how the timing strip on the back of your bib could

cause you to have the wrong time in the results what to do with your bibs after a race what to do

if you have a bib but you can't do the race, transfers, deferments,

refunds, where to put the bib, and why, and much more. First, let me thank the people who've

gone to iTunes and Left Reviews in the last week since the last episode. I just love reading

them, and I'll read one at the end of this podcast. As I record this podcast,

it's early February 2016, and I have an idea. While people join my mojo for running coaching

program all year round, I thought it would be fun to have a coaching class of people all

starting at the same time and training for the same race.

I'm particularly thinking of people aiming for their first half marathon in the fall.

We could plan a group race in October at a relatively centralized location, somewhere in the Midwest.

So, wherever you are in the U.S., you'd be only one plane flight away. And,

of course, for some people, it wouldn't even require that. And by the way, I welcome suggestions.

Please email me your recommendations of what race we might want to do. It should be a well-organized,

well-known half-marathon. Mail your suggestions to Deb at mojo for running.com.

It should be close to a big city with a large airport and a relatively flat course would be good as well.
