Run Inspired. Run SBIM

I got an email today from Gemini Timing, the company that issued the timing chips for the O2O Marathon.  I've gotten several, but this one is for the Santa Barbara International Marathon ~ my next marathon!

I love the description:

Located in the "American Riviera" in Santa Barbara, Southern California, this point-to-point course winds through the scenic Goleta Valley with it's lush lemon and avocado orchards, skirts the exclusive community of Hope Ranch, winds through the historic Santa Barbara mesa area, and finishes with a stunning two mile descent to the sparkling Pacific Ocean along the Santa Barbara coastline. The Select Staffing Santa Barbara International Marathon will treat entrants to a striking backdrop of mountains and sea in this beautiful destination city. 

Event Highlights:
Fast and scenic course   USAT&F certified/sanctioned 
Boston Qualifier 
Perfect winter running weather 

Beautiful destination 

Registration Includes:

Goodie Bag  T-Shirt  Personalized bib (thru Oct 1, 2012)  
Unique Finisher Medal

I've been kinda dreading tomorrow's 16 miler, this is just what I needed - a reminder of what I'm training for.  Gotta run inspired!
