So after much debate and lots of planning I have finally completed my marathon schedule for this upcoming season :) I do have a few repeat races from last year because I just really like them a lot! So here it is...

October 9, 2010 - ING Hartford Marathon (Hartford, CT)
October 31, 2010 - Marine Corps Marathon (Washington DC)
November 14, 2010 - Pensacola Marathon (Pensacola, FL)
December 5, 2010 - Las Vegas Marathon (Las Vegas, NV)
December 11, 2010 - Rocket City Marathon (Huntsville, AL)
January 9, 2011 - First Light Marathon (Mobile, AL)
January 30, 2011 - ING Miami Marathon (Miami, FL)
February 13, 2011 - Mercedes-Benz Marathon (Birmingham, AL)
March 5, 2011 - Snickers Energy Bar Marathon (Albany, GA)
April 30, 2011 - Country Music Marathon (Nashville, TN)
May 14, 2011 - Brookings Marathon (Brookings, SD)
May 21, 2011 - Fargo Marathon (Fargo, ND)

There is going to be a handfull of half marathons thrown in there as well, maybe 5 or 6 of them....don't know which ones yet though. I am looking forward to a great racing season. Hopefully all of my summer training will have paid off :)

    Wow, that's a lot of marathons! How do you manage to recover so quickly in between?

    big_man - my recovery only takes a couple of days after a race and then I am pretty much good to go. I think my recovery is quicker because of all the strain I put on my legs day to day in between races and during training. I force myself to get out there even when the legs feel tired. I also eat a TON or protein right after races and ever since I started doing that, my recovery has gone from a few weeks to a few days.

    Jill - Weekend races for the most part so I leave here on Friday's and come back on Sundays :)

    Do you ever track your miles/schedule on dailymile.com? I log in here for my calories/exercise but I also log everything on dailymile because you can post your schedule.

    No I have never used dailymile.com I log everything on runners world...I don't know why it is just what I have been using since I started running but I am going to go check out the dailymile.com right now :)

    Just so I understand this. Marathon Season is over the fall/winter/spring?

    Now I feel like a wuss for wondering if a 10 mile race 6 weeks after a Half Marathon was too close.

    Naaaa, don't feel like a wuss!!! My marathon season is from October to May every year. I spend June through September in training. I still run a lot in between marathons but mostly that is maintenance miles....I try not to kill myself during the season....so during training I work my way up from about 140 or 150 miles per month up to 250 miles per month and then during the season I run about 120 miles per month.

    A very ambitious, but inspiring schedule! Have you always been a runner or did you begin when your weightloss began?

    Looks like a lot of fun. I'd be interested in reading your race reports! Racing is fun (but expensive)

    I would probably say that my weight loss began when I started running. I started running in June 2008.

    Do you ever buy normal t-shirts, or do you just wear race shirts all the time?

    I've always wanted to take a road trip to the South... Could be a great excuse :P I'll keep this in mind come Feb/Mar if I am feeling particularly ambitious!

    Great schedule, Navysailor! You're a machine!! :P Such an inspiration to runners like me that are just starting out... Gives me a lot to look forward to in the coming years.

    Nashville is a GREAT city and the race was pretty good last year except for the thunderstorms. I am looking forward to a great time again this year :)

    Thanks meagalayne - I don't know about a machine but I appreciate the compliment :)
