Its a long shot.......But I say why not!!
Crap 26.2 miles...how fast do I actually have to run to get the sweet necklace.. I mean finish the race....
A: All participants must complete the race within 6.5 hours. To complete the full marathon by 1:30pm, you must maintain a pace of 14:30 minutes per mile or faster.
........I can do that ....for 26.2 miles...EEP!
San Francisco=HILLS....right? SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THE HILLS ON THIS COURSE?
A:There are no cable car hills on the Nike Women’s Marathon course. Many runners find the hills a welcome challenge (BULL) that offers the reward of spectacular hilltop views of the bay. The course is extremely scenic, covering most of San Francisco coastline.
Just wondering...CAN THIS RACE COUNT TOWARD BOSTON MARATHON QUALIFICATION?
A: Yes, the Boston Marathon will recognize qualifying times from the Nike Women’s Marathon.

So do all racers get a stuff?
A: Each finisher of the Nike Women’s Marathon and half marathon will receive the following: A Nike Dri-FIT Finisher T-shirt and an Official Finisher’s Necklace designed by Tiffany & Co.
SWEET! That alone is worth the pain I am going to put myself though....
Basically I am Scared, Happy, Excited and Proud that I am making this my goal. Less than 1 percent of the population can say they have run a marathon with a little luck and a whole lot of dedication I hope to be one of those few.
....See you at the finish line... I will be the one with the sweet Tiffany's necklace that you are jealous of....
