The marathon is such an unforgiving distance and I want everything on my side: little travel and similar wx conditions that I am training in (ie - Md in Jan = 30s and 40s...Phoenix is warmer) is a must. EVENTUALLY, when I hang up the spikes and "run for fun" (a day where church bells throughout the land will ring in sorrow) I will try these other races. Until then, I am all business.<BR/><BR/>Of course we're talking 2 years from now before I run 26.2!KLIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015334597223017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728958307295716891.post-66860110535664177862009-02-21T15:44:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:44:00.000-05:00Actually here is where you need to go:AMSTERDAMLik...Actually here is where you need to go:<BR/><BR/>AMSTERDAM<BR/><BR/>Like a week after Chicago, predictable weather in that it's typically crappy (and by crappy I mean perfect for running a marathon). Super fast marathon. Or you could look at Berlin in September, but it sells out REAL quick and I hear they might be moving it to June or something.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079220291482067777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728958307295716891.post-1942624348637581482009-02-21T15:24:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:24:00.000-05:00I got my numbers off the Phoenix Marathon websiteI got my numbers off the Phoenix Marathon websiteKLIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015334597223017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728958307295716891.post-25039864918408916682009-02-21T15:11:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:11:00.000-05:00Not sure where you're getting your numbers but the...Not sure where you're getting your numbers but the two years I ran it the finish was 53 and 49 degrees. I've run Chicago and it's unreliable - some years hot some years not; but always windy at the wrong time, the back 6. And that you can count on...a crappy head wind at the end.
