I’ve decided that for my 40th birthday I want to run a full marathon. Full. As in 26.2 miles. It’s crazy, I know. Only a handful of my friends will say, “Yes, I know how you feel!” The rest will think, “You’re insane!”
So what I need from my running friends or travel savvy friends is a marathon idea for May 2015. It has to be somewhere awesome, I’m making this a destination. Somewhere coastal. Maybe Hawaii. Or across the ocean somewhere. Possibly a place where I can take the kids for an awesome auxiliary vacation. Though I’m not opposed to making it just a husband/wife trip. Or even a just me getaway.
The only real requirements is a marathon, of course, some awesomeness, and low elevation (I’ll be training in Minnesota, no way am I going to run somewhere high after that). Suggestions?
A Perfect Day for J 
Kilimanjaro Marathon, perhaps? Then you could take a few days in Zanzibar and relax!
I just found your blog and this post jumped out as i am about to do my first marathon…although I am over 50 🙂 Here is a website that I used when picking my race. http://www.marathonguide.com/races/home.cfm
Good luck and hope that it is helpful.
Thanks!! Good luck with your run!
