San Francisco Marathon, first half

Well, today's a day for signing up for races. I'm going to run the first half of the San Francisco Marathon on July 26th. It starts obnoxiously early in the morning (like 5:30am), but the first half is the part that goes along the Embarcadero and over the Golden Gate Bridge, so I can't help but pick it. I figure this will probably be a bit harder than the mostly flat Shamrock n' Half Marathon, so we'll see if I can keep up a similar time. Oh, and I'm determined to run the full San Francisco Marathon next year. (This is my year for half marathons, next year is going to be the year for marathons.)
