Nike Woman’s Marathon
Next on the docket for a “big” marathon is a goal that I have had for a few years to run the Nike Woman’s marathon. I went to the site to check out registration, knowing these runs that are so popular sell out – – and I was correct. They did a lottery for a week – 22,000 ppl would be selected. I entered before we left for BC and am happy to report that I got in! So we are celebrating our first wedding anniversary (Oct 20) in San Fransisco. I will bring my wedding dress for dinner and Steve is bringing his tux! The race will be great, maybe I will wear white and run with a pseudo veil – and he can marry me all over again! I love to plan this stuff….
See below the benefits and my reason to pick this marathon to run in the fall!
Whooo Hoooo – – ok – now back to getting ready for Boston. : )
