This weekend we were in San Francisco for the Nike Women's Half Marathon. I've raced the half marathon 5 out of the 6 years they've had it. Its a great race in a great city. At mile 12 they give you Ghiradelli chocolate and at the finish you get a Tiffany finsiher's necklace. Yes, Tiffany!! This year I signed up for the lottery to get in the race well before we found out we were pregnant. Its a tough race to get into and such a fun race I decided since I had no energy to train during the first trimester I would walk the thing. My sweet hubby agreed to walk it with me. It was a beautiful San Francisco morning but boy I had no idea how tough walking a long distance could be. I give major props to those long distance walkers out there. It took me longer to walk a half marathon than I run a full marathon. And to top it all off I was sore and still am sore! But I have to say it was totally worth crossing the finish at Ocean Beach. Baby Miller made it through his or her first half marathon! If we have a girl I will save the Tiffany necklace to give her when she's old enough to wear it. Who knows maybe one day we will actually run it together. Here are some photos from the event.

"Just Do It" has always been my motto. I love the fact that the Golden Gate Bridge is behind it!
Jon happy to see Alcatraz in the background.
