Cool idea! Some of you run pretty impressive mileages... and I find it amusing that no one listed the marathon as their favorite. Currently, I am recovering from my surgery so I can't run or sign-up for a race anytime soon since I don't know my plans beyond May, but my MPW run usually between 35-50
