Well, in all the excitment of my Nike Womens Full Marthon, I signed up for a Nike + Womens Half Marathon. This marathon was different though, it was a virtual marathon. Basicaly, you get to pick the time & place you run. Nike had picked the date Jan. 14 or 15, 2012 for the virtual run to take place. All over the world women ran to band together to beat cancer.
Jesse ran with me & we decided to run through the Robert Mondavi vineyards in Woodbridge. We had ran a half marathon out there the spring before. Jesse downloaded the route so we could run the whole 13.1 miles. It was a cool morning, but, the sun was out & in no time at all we warmed up.

Mile 10, running past the vineyards. :)
The road was marked at each mile, so it was easy to tell how far we had run. I kept an easy relaxing pace & enjoyed my run. It was nice having Jesse run with me too...we talked & laughed as we ran...I even sand a little. :) He didn't have to run with me, but, I really appreciate that he did...now that's love!
Made it to mile 13!!! Whoop whoop!
It was fun running a virtual race. I would definitley do it again. Being able to pick your time & place is alot of fun. Some people ran the whole half on a tred mill, other ran in snow & rain. I was blessed to have sunshine & blue skies!
Yup! I finished!!! Another half marathon under my belt! Can't wait for the next one!
My cool Nike bling for completing the virtual half. :)
