Has anyone here run the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco, CA? (Read 467 times)

Hi, I'm new to your forum. I'm signed up to run the Nike Women's in San Fran with Team in Training. This is my first ever full marathon, but I've done a couple of half marathons. I must admit, I'm feeling some anxieties about this race, even though it's still a few months away (October 19). I guess I'll feel better when I get some long runs under my belt. My training log here is empty only because I haven't figured out how to update it, I've been training for a month now. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your replies, thanks in advance.

i didn't run it last year but my boss did and like the poster above, her biggest vent was the hills. i remember her telling me, "there was only hill after hill!" she is a pretty experienced runner, too. however, if you normally train on hills or running hills is a big part of your regiment, then there is no need to worry. if you don't, you will want to incorporate a good amount of hill work into your training runs and especially in the longer training runs. hope this helps!
