San Fran 1/2 Marathon-CHECK

Well, I am back, and another race down! Last Sunday (Oct 19th) I ran the Nike Women's 1/2 marathon in San Fran. I had an awesome time with my girls, and they all completed their first marathon!!!!

I found San Fran to be a bit chilly (a high of 55oC on race day!) and full of Hills!! Although the 1/2 marathon was tough, hilly course, I enjoyed every minute of it. It was amazing to be out there with 20,000 other runners (about 1000 were men, and 5000 were other TNT participants) all taking in the sites of San Fran during our morning run. We ran past Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Now it's only 1 week away until my BIG race....the NYC Marathon Nov 2nd. I am feeling good and ready to taper and load up on carbs! I'm thinking i need to make a pasta and sauce run!


I have posted some pictures that hopefully you can see here, on this site, or if not I provided the link for them (Pam's Pictures).

In addition, there is a second link to official photos from the race here (Official Race Photos)
