Nike Name Wall
It's that time of year again. The 3rd Sunday in October. The time of year that is reserverd for all things Nike Women's Marathon (NWM). I've said it in a previous post, but for many women this is the most coveted event to do! The Tiffany Blue box at the finish is what all the ladies desire.
For mom and I? Yeah, it's about the finish prize, but for the last 10 years, this is the one event we for sure do together. At some point over the year's, we established a tradition.
On the Thursday prior to the event, mom would meet me downtown. She would be excited as all get-out. Me? Not so much. It was just another event. We go pick up our swag at the expotique, see what other free goodies we could snag, and then look for our names on the wall of Niketown, and finally shop. Lastly, we would wrap up at Nordstrom. A visit to the shoe department before enjoying dinner and a cocktail at the cafe. We would laugh, mom would continue to express her excitement about NWM, we would talk about how much money we spent, too!
This year will be my last NWM and my last 13.1 EVER!! Mom says it will be her last NWM, too but we shall see next April when registration opens. Our pre-NWM tradition doesn't have to end this year. Next year, I will visit the expotique as a guest and not a participant.
Here's to 10 years of NWM!
