Looking to book an early-2017 marathon. Likely Charleston. My wife and I are picking off the states, and we have not done SC yet.
For the runners out there, what is your favorite marathon?

Kind of tapering. I have been building over the past few weekends and have been getting stronger each week even though I am going longer. This weekend I am cutting back to 14 down from the 20's. I also have been working on my fueling. I will get that narrowed down this weekend.

Here's some absolutely unsolicited advice: It sounds like you are starting to taper. It is important that you do. Not sure what training program you are using, but don't over-run it. You feel very strong right now. But tapering helps preserve your body for late in the run.
Really looking forward to hearing how it goes!!
Perhaps we should start a "running" thread so we stop hijacking the "vacation" thread?

Probably...I don't think most would consider running a vacation.

But I like my RUNcations.

Yeah, we do, too, since they are not just for running. We always go somewhere where we can do other things/visit relatives.

Planning for the Great Eclipse, likely in Charleston. Laurie and I have never seen Charleston and its been on the bucket list for a while now.

A thread from our visit to Charleston and Murrells Inlet to see Val and Jim. Can't believe it was five years ago. We need to go back!!

Joy and I are looking at a trip to Scotland in the back half of 2017. We're still doing some research, and we have to see what the work schedules might vaguely be.

, so we'll see if we need to stay connected the entire trip or not.

Had dinner with friends last night who just took a barge trip in the south of France. It looked wonderful.
