NWM :: 26.2


So I've been obsessed with the Nike Women's Marathon that takes place every October. Last year, my sissy and I tried to get in to do the half (unsuccessful. This year, I learned from a co-worker who finished the full (HUGE congrats to you, Mary!) that because we live in the Midwest and not in San Fran, we need to do the full marathon to get into this race. It's capped at 20,000 people and since Nike is the sponsor, the marketing is always amazing! Below is an image of the 2010 finishers medal... which happens to be a Tiffany's necklace given to you at the end of the race by a nice gentleman (I've heard they are cute firefighters...?). SO amazing! I plan to do this race some day...

Join your local Team In Training (www.treamintraining.org). They train for the Nike Womens Marathon and Half marathon every year. If you meet your fundraising quota you get into this race. You get to choose the full or half to run.
