Yep, I pounded the treadmill for 13.12 miles this afternoon and completed the Nike Women's Half Marathon. Yea, me! I did the same race in San Francisco three years ago. It was the coolest thing - well, not when you compare it to bringing forth life into the world - but...Anyway, when I signed up to do it this year I knew I wouldn't be able to take a weekend off to take part in the run (plus, registration is done by lottery now because so many people want to take part), so I registered to complete the race at home. I got to watch a movie and stop for breaks throughout the day. The only thing I missed was going past the Ghiradelli Chocolate Factory. That was part of the course in S.F. and so we got tasty chocolate bits. Just what you need when you're coming up on mile eleven, I assure you. Mmmm...chocolate. I've uploaded my race info to NikePlus and should receive my finisher's t-shirt and T&C keychain in four to six weeks. Woot!

That is most impressive. Well done!
Congrats! Christie is a cheetah!
You sure? Felt more like the three-toed sloth. :)
Anyone who goes 13.12 miles in one day is most certainly a Cheetah. Hope you're not sore today.
Nice work! I'm most impressed. Next time you'll have to plan ahead and have some chocolate on hand for mile 11.
Wow. 13.12 miles at home? I totally would have cheated. :)
I am super duper impressed. Congrats!
