So I couldn’t have been more excited to find this in my inbox early this evening:

The San Francisco Nike Women’s Marathon (and Half Marathon) peaked my interest in the past and when I saw they planned to host an inaugural race in DC this year, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

I will write a follow up post about why I think these events are just so darn cool, but needless to say I am getting excited.  This will be my very first non-runDisney half marathon.  Aside from my interest in seeing what Nike’s approach will be, I think it will be fascinating to compare this race to my previous experiences.

It also doesn’t hurt that my cousin who lives in the greater DC area was also accepted into the race!  This will be my husband’s very first visit to DC and I cannot wait to plan everything we will do there.  Not to mention that our trip to Anaheim for the Tinker Bell Half is just a little over a month of way.  There is so much fun on the horizon for 2013.  It will be hard to top the excitement of 2012 (with our wedding and all) but we’ll sure try!

I have had yet another super busy week which has interrupted my normal workout schedule and particularly my blogging frequency.  Hopefully I will be able to catch you up on all the excitement in the next few days!  This week has been a little bittersweet but mostly fun.  I am looking forward to things slowing down a bit as the holidays approach so I can catch up on just about everything that my busy schedule prevents me from doing.

Anyone else receive their confirmation for the 2013 Nike Women’s Half DC?
