I Need Your Input! Marathon Bucket List!!

While trying to keep my mind of my impending 20 miler in less than 48 hours, I made my "marathon bucket list". I want to know... what am I missing?? What's on YOUR list??

Oh and I plan on doing individual "race research posts" on each of these to explain WHY it's on my list. It may take a really long time to write them all but... I think it'll be fun. I love research projects!

  1. My suggestion is to switch the Ogden Marathon out for the Top of Utah marathon in Logan. It's AMAZING and all down hill. Also, it's been around for a little longer so I'm assuming it's better run. Seriously, it was the best race for me ever! You won't be sorry.

  2. Pikes Peak looks CRAZY but you would be one bad mofo for doing it. :-) I can't even imagine the hill training for that one.

    Sounds like I'll see you nice and early tomorrow morning! Guess it's time to hydrate.

  3. I can only comment on the FIRST half of the Amica Marathon in Newport, RI but the course was beautiful!!! It was the only half where I didn't take any walk breaks and I felt incredible throughout. The weather was amazing and the scenery was so great.
