I travelled to Tampa FL for a half marathon with friends a couple of years ago. We met some online buddies and had a blast.

Last fall I went again to Florida but this time to watch friends compete in Ironman FL. That was both exciting and fun so much so I’m going again this fall.

In June, I’m travelling again, but to San Deigo with about 20 others and again I hope to meet up with other online buddies.

Next year we are looking at meeting up at the Big Sur Marathon. I love travelling and combining it with a race whether its to run or cheer on friends.

For me it’s something I’d like to do every year as long as I can afford it or run it.

We actually really considered going on an east coast/maritime cruise that catered to runners. They had runs set up at each port and speakers in the evening.

Maybe great for the runners, but every year the people living in some of the neighborhoods protest to the City Council and planning boards to have the San Diego marathon shut down or rerouted because they can’t get in or out. I can only imagine that would be 10x more difficult on a Saturday, when many more people don’t sleeping in until noon and have more to do. That’s usually why big marathons are held early on Sundays.

Having a RnR marathon on Saturday rather than on Sunday would be great.
