the race bibs are the inspirational background for this photo, but the intended focus is the scrap of paper in the center that says “Good Luck! 26.2” it’s an anonymous note that someone left under the windshield wiper on my car the night before my first marathon. to this day i have no idea if someone i know walked by and recognized my car, or just the fact that i was parked on a city street not far from the race expo caused a stranger to assume i was running the marathon. but it warmed my heart. random acts of kindness? pretty inspiring.
