Marathon Plans

Posted by Roger M on November 14, 2007, 7:44 pm, in reply to "Re: debut Maine marathon?"

Dave,

I am interested in running multiple marathons in 2008. I especially like Saturday/Sunday doubles to minimize expenses of 2 separate trips. Examples for me would be Wirefly National Marathon DC Saturday followed up by the Ocean Drive New Jersey on Sunday sometime in March. Kill 2 states in one weekend. I have not joined the 50 state club but have run marathons in 12 states as of today. Still have not signed up for the Marathon Maniacs yet as well. I'll will sign up for both sometime this winter. A race that sounds pretty good to me right now is Death Valley on Saturday Dec 1 and New Las Vegas on Sunday Dec 2. I also have been told that I can pace a 3:30 group for a North Carolina Thunder Road December 8th. Probably won't do any of them but as a marathon junkie would like to run them. Philly is full and I should have signed up for it but was not sure how I would make out after running 9 marathons in 36 days this fall.

Races would like to run 2008
Shamrock, Flying Pig, Philly, Chicago, LA, Grandmas....Atlanta

Definite Races for 2008
Austin Texas Feb
Hyannis Mass Feb
Boston April
Sugarloaf and/or Vermont City May
Cranberry Ultra July
Quebec City August
NH September
Maine October
Hartford October
MDI October
NYC November

: Looking at doing all the Maine marathons
: again next year,(CGI Ultra gonna happen

: Hey, gotta tell you a quick funny story.

: NYCM w/e...out of the corner of my eye I
: noticed a couple that looked wicked
: familiar. We struck up a coversation to
: figure out which marathon/when and where
: we'd run together.... you guessed it! CGI
: Ultra, Chris Ertola from Long Island. Later
: in the day at the pasta feed in Cental Park
: bumped into several folks from Portland area
: who'd we'd met doing the Reach the Beach in

: lottery ticket for PowerBall.
: Maine running community, ain't it great!!!

: in the Maine Marathon several years ago but
: she was just running the half-marathon ...
: either way I would think she still
: "blow by me", be it in the 1/2

: the young lady pictured approached me just
: before this shot was taken and said,
: "this looks fun maybe I should have run
: it". For those of you who don't know,
: JBS has never run a marathon in her home
: state. When I introduced her at the
: excellent talk she did at MDIHS I pointed
: this little known fact out. She said maybe
: she'd have to run all 3 Me Marathons and
: have me auction off her appearances at each
: for charity. (We did a JBS vintage
: memorabilia auction for charity prior to her
: talk) Whatever happens it will be good when
: Maine's best can run her long overdue
: victory lap in front of her home state fans.

: As for the other guy in the pic, he will run
: MDI someday but not in the foreseeable
: future.
