Hey guys, In an attempt to battle my depression over my daughter moving to a foreign country I was thinking it would be great if I could plan another marathon with her. I figure it is a good way to stay connected and have a common goal! Plus, I'm sure after hearing people speak Spanish all day she would appreciate a little marathon training talk in English.
I was thinking we could run a marathon right there in this new foreign land she has chosen to live in. So, has anybody run the LA Marathon? Does it sell out quick? I noticed that registration is already open for next year's race.
Also, the race next year is on March 1st. That might be a little tough. Mt. Cheaha is probably a week or two before, plus Oak Mtn and ING GA are also both in March.
I wonder if there is a better one to choose. San Diego maybe? It is on May 31st next year ... of course, since she is teaching, that may or may not be good ... I'm not sure when LA schools break for the summer.
Any suggestions?

hmmmm .... Feb 1st might be the weekend after Mountain Mist and when is Strolling Jim? Is it usually around the first weekend of May? I've missed that one the last two years due to family type conflicts. I was hoping to finally do it in 2009! But Newport Beach sounds like a fun place for a marathon!

Nils - That looks like a really good one! I'd rather run trails than on the street too! I wonder when Georgia's Spring Break is? That good also be a good week to take my wife out there for a visit. But I don't want to miss OAk Mtn or ING GA .. so I have to do some planning.
