National Running Day – Register for an Event!

If you’re not already aware, today is National Running Day.  With lots of races and fun runs this time of year, there’s no reason not to take this opportunity to register for your first 5k, 10, half marathon or marathon.

For my part, I’ve entered the random draw for the 2013 10th Anniversary Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco on October 20.  The field is limited to 30,000, and they announce participants in late June.  If you’re interested, you have until June 14 to register.  This is the largest women’s running event in the world!

San Francisco is one of my favorite places to visit, and why not combine a nice weekend trip with participation in a running event?  On my bucket list is the notoriously challenging Big Sur Marathon – Big Sur’s views are breathtaking.  Consider getting away this summer and running for a good cause or personal achievement while you’re at it!
