Yay! Track workouts are kind of fun. In a weird way.

Good job on the fundraising!

If I recall correctly, when I did Nike, the marathon course was the same as the half until GG Park where the half folks were basically done and we had to keep going. Do you know if that's the same? I could look on line of course....

sk - I'm a size 7. What are these magical socks you speak of?

mp - I think the course is the same, we start in Union Square, head out to Embarcadero, travel 'round to the Great Highway and end at GG Park. So tell me how many hills we hit....

I'll check out the links KSH, thanks!

jvm - I'm doing the Nike Women's Marathon - walking the 1/2 on October 19.

While GG Park is rolly, there's really only one sustained "hill" and that's from the end of Crissy Field by Ft. Point up to - crud! - you know, the fancy neighborhood where Robin Williams lives - Seadrift? Something like that. Seacliff?? I drive through it every day I have to get Em from the zoo and now I am blanking. Why am I drawing such a blank? Long day.

Anyway, by the time you get to that hill you will be happy to have something other than dead flat road - really. At least I was. And I largely walked my last marathon. Having a hill works some different muscles at a really good point in this course. You're a good 5 - 7 miles into it by that point. And that's probably a mile of climb, maybe less. Then the rest is rolly.
