Yes! Boycotting NYCM, RnR, and Disney - all great ideas.
I am doing a spring race up north, in fact... I'm doing Around the Bay!

There are so many amazing races to run - for now I'm boycotting NYCM, RnR, Disney and ilk. Instead of a fall marathon abroad, maybe one north?

GOOD. F NYCM!!! Crowds! Expenses! Hype! It makes me want to kick people in the throat!

By contrast, I opened up that trail half link, and "The goal of the NJ trail series is to make running fun again." - seems like that's what you want to be looking for, anyway. That sounds really fun!

I am also kinda burned out, and I have done far less marathons. Not going to do the lottery. Maybe I'll do the Sleepy Hollow half, but I am not really psyched about it or any other race.

I like this shift toward trail running. Finding some nice trails always makes me more psyched up to run than I was before. And I agree with Dawn too - stop signing up for marathons already!

Oh hm, that 10-miler looks interesting. Plus, $21?...

Oh hm, that 10-miler looks interesting. Plus, $21? I might be signing up for that.

I kind of refuse to run NYCM on the basis of how expensive it is. Also because I'm not sure I want two years of my life (the year I do all my qualifying races plus the year I actually run it) devoted to it. Maybe I'm the only person in the world who just feels sort of meh about NYCM.

Oh, hell. Take a break. Stop signing up for things...

Oh, hell. Take a break. Stop signing up for things. Wait until a race passes and you find yourself REALLY wishing you'd done it. That's how you know you're ready to get back into it.

Ack! I'm bummed to hear you're not going to run NOLA (though I do understand). I was hoping to whip up a blogger meetup there!

I'm pulling out of RNRNO too, not trained enough. Only $40 gone though, luckily I didn't get a hotel or plane tickets. Oh well.

It would cost me - being a 'foreigner' - an astonishing $385 just to register. That is correct: $385. It would cost me 'only' $100 to run Mountain Masochist. Hmmm...tough call.
