I just did my first marathon (LA 3.18.12) it was an AMAZING experience and accomplishment!!! But now....I'm ready for my next, just not sure how much I should wait in between. I'm thinking of ether San Diego (june), SF(july), or LBC (oct)

    It sort of depends on how well you recover. I would suggest you just basically do your taper in reverse. You can get your long run back up over 15+ miles in a couple weeks. Then you can ramp up for another race.

    I'm against RnR so I never do SD (I'm against the way that company does business).

    SF in July is a really good race, LB is pretty good too. No reason you can't do those two.

    You might be able to do all three. At some point, it will depend on the effort you put in. If you are really racing them, then it take longer to recover.

    I would suggest doing the OC Half in May. With all your endurance from training for LA, you should be looking for a big PR at the half.
