Hi PGG,
Thanks for posting this. You prompted me to look at my online statement, and I see a charge too. I hope Nike doesn’t disappoint any of us!

Woohoo! I’m really excited the more I think about it. Although signmeup doesn’t seem to have my info in the “what is this charge?” section, but I was charged so I’m still assuming I’m in. I want the real confirmation, too!

I actually might be coming out to Boston sometime this year to visit friends – we should totally go on a training run! Went for somewhere between 6-7 today (my Sport Band was all messed up) so I’m glad to know I can still run because I haven’t trained since my last half in October!

YAY!! I can’t wait for Nike Women’s-its going to be so great!! When you think we’ll get the actual confirmation email????? They charged my card and signmeup.com says congratulations-so i better be in! I can’t wait to start training for real! And for the tiffany’s necklace!
Can’t wait to compare training notes!

Thanks, Kirby! I can’t believe you did the full – that’s amazing!! I’m not sure if I could ever do a full, but hey, never say never.

Joining a group is such a good idea. I never would have thought of that! I used to run at Kezar a little bit with some friends, and was always impressed by all the super amazing runners. Off to do some research. Thank you!

Congratulations on getting in to Nike! I can’t do it this year b/c I have a wedding on Saturday night (= definitely no running early Sunday morning). Last year I did the full and it was quite an adventure.

Speedwork, I think, is critical to getting faster. I do track workouts on Tuesdays at Kezar with SF Tri Club, SF Road Runner Club also does track, as do a few other clubs. You may want to find a group to join – speedwork is a lot more fun with other folks who are running at your pace!

Thanks for the support, guys! Haya, I will try doing that myself for outdoor speedwork – thanks! And SF is def one of the most beautiful places to run, for sure!

RHYD (hehe) – it definitely is a feeling of accomplishment. I honestly didn’t think I’d get into this one so right now I’m kind of like ahh, I have to train again, but I know I’ll be happy that I did it!

yay that’s awesome! congrats. it looks like a super fun race to do; i hope to get to do it some time. plus SF is fantastic.

i did outdoor speedwork today! measured out 400m over a few blocks and did my repeats back and forth on the sidewalk. it was way better than the dreadmill.
