YESSSS, Feeling Victorious!

Last Sunday, I ran the Nike+ Virtual Half Marathon. I ran it for a couple of reasons: 1) To benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 2) For fun and, 3) The finisher's bracelet.


My virtual half was cold but nice. I finished in 2:20:19. Not bad considering that this was my last day on the juice fast! I talked more about it in my previous post. Check it out! You don't want to miss my delicious juices :-)


Then yesterday, Nike made a big announcement:

"Thousands of women came together as one this past weekend for the Nike+ Women's Half Marathon. Over 75 teams were formed, and one came out... VICTORIOUS. Over 1000 women joined this team, and for that they'll be rewarded! Welcome to NWM SF 2012. That's right, NO lottery".

YES, my Team Victorious made it! I am so happy.


For those of you that don't know, what's cool about this race (besides running in the streets of San Francisco with spectacular views) is that all runners get a Tiffany necklace as the finisher medal.


I was planning on running the Chicago Marathon this year but since the NWM is the week after, I have decided to go for this one instead. Now the question is: 13.1 or 26.2? Decisions, decisions! If you are reading this and you've ran both the NWM half and full, I'd love to hear from you. Any recommendations? I am worried about the hills.

Woo Hoo, San Francisco here I come!
