My team got into the NWHM for this October, and it's a big deal.
I kind of want to go around telling everyone about it, but seeing how it's still six months away, I feel like people would get tired of hearing me talk about it.
Here's the thing:
1. I get to run with some of my favourite ladies, and about 24,995 other ladies.
2. We get Tiffany necklaces at the finish line. (Handed out by firemen, but that's not the part I'm excited about.)
3. This will be my third Half Marathon.
4. This was a lottery entry. The odds were NOT in our favour, and I got in on my first year. It was my team-mate Brenda's fifth year of registering, and she is beyond excited.
5. It's my first "destination" race. I've driven a few hours for races before, the furthest being Seattle, but this one I actually have to fly to. It's like a mini-vacation for me. (Mind you, I'm going to have to scrape every penny from now until October to pay for my plane ticket and hotel and to have spending money, but I think the experience will be so worth it!)
I just can't wait! I don't plan on trying to beat my PR since I want to be able to take it easy on the course and take pictures since I'm sure it will be a scenic race (Not to mention all those famous SF hills....)
