Just signed up to do the 5 mile Sunset Run with SF Fleet Feet Sports this coming Thursday. The Sunset Run is a social run sponsored by Nike and FFS and 100% of the entry fee will be donated to the Lance Armstrong's Livestrong foundation. Registration fee is $10 and if you're in the SF area and interested you can sign up here, too! You also get a t-shirt for running, as well as (and most importantly for me) a chance to win a spot for the Nike Women's Marathon in October. This race has been sold out for months now and pretty much the only way in is via Team In Training. TNT is a great training group with a fantastic cause but I just don't have the desire to do fundraising... I was talking to another runner this morning from boot camp and she told me someone from her running group may not be running the Nike Marathon due to an injury. Oh that would be so awesome if I could take her spot!Planning to do a 5 mile run after work today, with some hill training.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Good luck on that 5 miler, sounds like a great race, I'm all about anything that helps out with LAF. Hope you get into the Nike Marathon.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds like fun! what time does it start?
ReplyDeletei tried to get into nike too but no luck and there is no way i could raise a bunch more money (i just raised ~2400 for SFM). maybe next year i will get in! good luck though, how awesome if you could get a spot!
oh and thanks for the tips! i am really glad i ran my 2 long runs in SF to get an idea of the hills... they definitely slowed me down a bit but i hope i can hang race day :)
ReplyDeleteyour wedding is going to be amazing!! the place looks beautiful. is your fiance running the race too?
Thanks for stopping by with some Nike+ info - I tried calibrating on the treadmill, but i don't know, it still didn't work. I've calibrated it so many times, like 4-5 but not much help. The race sounds great!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting into Nike! That would be great, I was SO lucky to get in.
ReplyDeleteand yes! I plan to post my before and after pics...it's good motivation to keep on track!
Hope the run went well, I want to do the nike women's marathon one year, it sounds awesome. Hope you get a #!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to get in! The Sunset Run sounds like fun.
