Marathon Monday



The wait is over (at least for me it is!).

I exuberantly signed up for marathon #7 today.

It is one that I have had on my running wish list for a while….

The Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco!


 I’ve heard Nike runs a great race.  Very *woman* focused, hence the title. 

I am not only excited to run in the streets of San Francisco, but I am equally happy about the finishers *medal*.  A Tiffany necklace.  Who doesn’t love Tiffany?!?!  They make all things shiny, sparkly and beautiful.  

This race has a few methods of entry: Team in Training Fundraisers, Lottery Entrants and College Entry.

Being a college girl still has its benefits!  I was able to gain entry by being a grad student.  Easy Peasy!  I don't do lotteries well.  I've had good luck, but waiting is not my strong suit.

This will also complete a geographical goal.  To run a marathon on each coast, the north and the south.

So my marathons for the year are set! San Fran in October and a local marathon...the New Year's Double on December 31.   The NYD also offer an amazing bling and a really fun race!  I did the half last year in the worst weather conditions I've ever raced in. This year *has* to be much sunnier.  I know it!

What marathons are you running in this year?
