This is my favorite time of the year. We've endured summer marathon training, and as Fall arrives, so too do the marathons we've been training for, and one by one we all make it to our respective starting lines, God willing.
First up is the Wineglass marathon in upstate New York this week-end. As jealous as I am, these folks have endured long runs in the summer heat the most, and deserve the near-perfect weather that awaits. They will be the first to come back with their "war stories" as well, which is always fun for the rest of us. Next week-end is the big marathon week-end, with St. George on Saturday and Twin Cities and Chicago on Sunday. These marathons are due decent weather, and fingers crossed, so far it's looking good!
On October 20th is the Des Moines Iowa marathon, and then the Marine Corps marathon the following week-end. The week-end after that we bid a farewell and good luck to all who are running in the New York City marathon. Last, but not least, those of us running in the Route 66 marathon in Tulsa will be able to to toe the line just a few days before Thanksgiving.
So for the next couple of months the stories will be told, week by week, as each group returns, hobbling into the pack, wearing their marathon finisher's shirts. I cannot wait to hear the stories! Good luck to everyone!
