winter/early spring marathon?
Well, I never heard anything back from the writer of the other 'nique article, so I was a little disappointed. Weir is off to do his marathon this weekend in WV, so we've been throwing back and forth where to do one come early 2008.

Now, I've already done Alabama, but the siblings haven't yet, so I could be convinced to run somewhere else. Columbus is up there just for comparison's sake. Sunday marathons are always better, but South Cack doesn't like to do that (having only Kiawah, MB and Greenville, and Greenville was just this week and Kiawah is 1st week in Dec; choices are limited). Mercedes-Benz is probably simplest coordination wise (other than I've already run Alabama). New Orleans would give us more time to train (which we apparently need, myself especially).
