It is the end of summer but fall marathon season is right around the corner. Who is out there ? I will be running New York, Dallas, Houston, Austin and an Ultra in Fort Worth.

    Wow! That is an impressive list! I will be running Columbus. It is my first, but I hope to run many more in the future! I also have a few other shorter races coming up, just to keep me in "race mode" before the big day!

    Still not exactly sure, as I've been fighting some injuries. Most likely Long Beach in Oct and LA in March. Perhaps Marine Corps (have an entry but I may have to transfer it).

    i had an AWFUL AWFUL 10 mile trail run this weekend.
    i had new trail shoes and everything, but it was still a mess. a hideous hideous mess.
    it was so awful that i feel extremely foolish right now for having these upcoming races planned.
    i keep trying to remind myself that the running scales usually swing back the other way, and that one bad run does not place a verdict on my next one. (boy i sound dramatic don't i?! jeez hah) looking forward to redeeming myself...

    i'm aiming to join the 'Marathon Maniacs'
    09/08/12 - Odyssey Trail Rampage Marathon - Douthat, VA
    10/13/12 - Medoc Trail Marathon - Hollister, NC
    11/10/12 - Richmond Marathon - Richmond, VA
    11/24/12 - North Central Rail Trail Marathon - Sparks Glencoe, MD

    I'm going a bit nuts with my schedule for the fall. I'm trying to complete a marathon challenge (30 States in 365 days). Here's part of my schedule:

    19-Aug-2012 Drake Well Marathon (Titusville, PA)
    26-Aug-2012 Parker’s Marathon (Harrisville, WV)
    02-Sep-2012 Tupelo Marathon (Tupelo, MS)
    23-Sep-2012 Omaha Marathon (Omaha, NE)
    29-Sep-2012 Oktoberfest Marathon (Spring Lake, MI)
    06-Oct-2012 Southern Tennessee Plunge Marathon (Winchester, TN)
    14-Oct-2012 Mother Road Marathon (Joplin, MO)
    20-Oct-2012 Indianapolis Marathon (Indianapolis, IN)
    21-Oct-2012 Columbus Marathon (Columbus, OH)
    28-Oct-2012 Atlanta Marathon (Atlanta, GA)
    03-Nov-2012 Midsouth Marathon (Wynne, AR)
    04-Nov-2012 BG 26.2 (Bowling Green, KY)
    10-Nov-2012 Richmond Marathon (Richmond, VA)
    18-Nov-2012 Route 66 Marathon (Tulsa, OK)
    21-Dec-2012 End of the World Marathon (Humble, TX)
    22-Dec-2012 Day After the End of the World Marathon (Humble, TX)

    That's just through the end of this year. I'm already registered for a few next year, as well. I'm trying to find a few more fillers for the open weekends on this list, but I'm pretty content with it as things stand right now if I don't find any more.

    I just wish that I could finish them as quickly as you. I'm always pushing closer than I'd like to course closing times.

    I'd bet a dollar that you could cut 30 to 45 minutes off your time by running 4 per year. :happy:

    11/24/12 - North Central Rail Trail Marathon - Sparks Glencoe, MD

    This looks great...but I wanted to just throw this out there. Unless joining requirements have changed, you just need 3 marathons in 3 months so if you're feeling a bit over-trained you can drop one of these and still qualify for the Maniacs.

    I'm one of the originals.... MM #161

    I'm just doing one, maybe two marathons. I'm also doing three 50ks and one 50 miler. Does that count?
