Running San Francisco Marathon 2007
As if one marathon was not enough, I registered for San Francisco Marathon scheduled for Jul 29, 2007. I was thinking of delaying the the registration a few days but Tier 1 is already sold out and I don't want to miss out the option of running on Golden Gate Bridge, yet again. After all, San Francisco is #1 running city.
15,000 runners are expected . The first half is always the fun part and there
are cheer stations and music stations planned
almost each mile during the second half. I
plan to start practice next month and I'll definitely need to practice
lots of hill runs. From my previous half
marathon experience, miles 10-12 were really steep. The course
description gives you an idea of all the beautiful landmarks (Fishermans's
Wharf, San
Francisco Bay, Marina,
Presidio, Golden
Gate Park and many others) crossed during the run, well it's 26.2 miles so
gotta cover good part of the city 
And I found a buddy at work who has done multiple Boston Marathon and a PR of 2:28. This is going to be fun!
