I am back to blogging after an extended break. I decided to write a blog entry today because I am about 95% sure I am going to do a marathon this summer. I'm not sure which one I want to do and am hoping to decide that in the next week or so. I would like to do a September or early October marathon in the Midwest, so if you have a suggestion, let me know. Here are the options so far:
Sioux Falls, SD Sept. 8 http://siouxfallsmhm.allsportcentral.com/EventInfo.cfm?EventID=38828
Appleton, Wisconsin Sept. 23: http://www.foxcitiesmarathon.org/
Omaha Sept. 23 http://omahamarathon.com/
Quad Cities Sept. 23 http://www.qcmarathon.org/
Milwaukee Oct. 7 http://www.milwaukeelakefrontmarathon.org/lfm
Mason City, Iowa Oct. 14 http://www.ontheroad4edu.org/
Des Moines, Iowa Oct. 21: http://www.desmoinesmarathon.com/
The Chicago Marathon is full--so that's not an option--but I'm not sure if would be for other reasons anyway.
Any input?
