I found a little tidbit of info regardng the San Francisco Nike Women's Marathon/Half Marathon event for 2008. It's on October 19, 2008, and if you want information as to when the official sign up begins, go HERE. It still has the graphics for the 2007 event, but the box for receiving infor for 2008 is at the bottom of that page, once you get into the site. The half marathon sold out quickly last year, and the marathon sold out in a couple of days after that. They did open up a lottery to let in more runners because of the sell out, but not everyone got in. I plan on signing up for this year's event, and I'm hoping I'll get in again. The plan is to work out the details of the trip better so that I can spend more time with my blog runner friends and take full advantage of the expo. I felt like I missed out on some of the festivities last year, but that was poor planning on my part. Oh yeah, for completing the event you receive a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver finisher's necklace. Feeling motivated?

You are ON IT, girl! I'm doing the 1/2 through Team this year, and I think that makes it easier to get in, but I'm still appreciative of the heads up.
Girl, I am there!!! When I lived and worked in SF I didn't run. Since I've taken up running I've been wanting to do a run there. Since I keep missing this one, I signed up for the newsletter and I'm doing it. I'll see you there :)
Fun!!! I'm thinking of doing the Bay to Breakers in SF but the hills are scaring me a little bit.
Wow... I'm so impressed with you. =)
beck?
i really am going to try to do the nike half this year if i can get in. so thanks for the heads up.
Leslie,
Keep us posted on how you like doing the TNT thing! I've heard they make you feel like a rock star!
Flo,
That would be fantastic! Last year I met several running bloggers! Woohoo!
Katie,
The cool thing about B2B is that a lot of people go for the show of it, so I think you'll be just fine! There's nothing wrong with walking up the hills.
Jess,
Thanks for stopping by! Thanks!
Barbie2be,
Winner! Start training now! A lot of women walk in this event, and they have a blast. I'd love to see you there, too!
I'm planning to run in the half this year, so thanks for the link. Some of my running friends from Mpls. said they want to fly out and run it with me. I have fond memories of the Nike marathon (including meeting you!) and wear my finisher's necklace all the time. I show it to anyone who seems remotely interested. :-)
