The full is supposed to be flat and the majority of it is up HWY 1 (the major selling point for me). I've actually heard it's a better course than the half. I did the Orange County this year and it SUCKED. I finished strong and did a great job, but running on closed toll roads was NOT my ideal choice for my first marathon. So this time I want scenery and people and hopefully a BQ!

I'm running one. Not sure which. Cape Cod and Maine are my likely candidates right now.

I'm looking to do Maine in October as well...

I just signed up for the North Country Trail Marathon (http://www.stridersrun.com/races.htm) (sorry - I don't know how to make the link active). They also have a 50-miler. It's September 15th and goes through Michigan's Manistee national forest about an hour south of Traverse City all on single track trail. Also, a good site for trail running in general is http://www.trailrunner.com/. A huge list of trail races can be accessed via the events link at the bottom of the page.

Enjoy that--my hubby's aunt and uncle help organize that race. I'm doing the Striders Classic 10 mile in a couple of weeks--first race for '07! Big grin

I feel so left out of these conversations. I don't have any full marathons planned, ever. I might consider another half, but not a full.

Don't feel left out...you are a runner no matter how far you run! And, you are in a club I wish I was in...I have somehow managed to miss the married with children club...and, I think that is a far more important club than a running club. So, well done on so much more!!!

Thank you...but you do realize that I'll still continue to declare that my children are pure evil - even if they do put me in that nifty married with children club - there are times when I want out. In fact, just last night I threatened to escape to a tropical island, or go back to work (I was desperate for a break).
