Registration has opened. I recommend registering early, the first
half marathon always sells out early (this is the portion over the
bridge) and the fees get expensive as time goes on. I did the full
last year it was tough but awesome. This race has the best schwag.
The shirt is really good, and the medal for the full marathon is
designed to be a coaster. I'm thinking about doing it again. It
takes about 4-5 months to get from couch potato to endurance, so
training for this race should start in March/April.
I'll post a training calendar as we get closer.

summer (Aug 3rd next year), it starts early enough and the SF weather
is mild enough that it is a pretty cool run. Much much better than
the SJ Rock'n'Roll 1/2 marathon. I ran the first half of SFM this
year and the part over the Golden Gate was unforgettable.
I took about 6 months from zero to running SFM. One suggestion is to
also sign up for bay-to-breakers in May which gives you a milestone,
a 12km run, in SF. It gives you a taste of what it is like driving up
to SF early early in the morning and running and then driving back...
