Amy's Top 15

This fall, I've been so busy on my quest for 9 states in 365 days in order to earn 4 stars with the Marathon Maniacs, that I have failed to keep my race reports up-to-date.  This fall, I have run the Kansas City Marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon, and the Route 66 Marathon.  When I feel so inspired, I will write up some race reports.  In the meantime, since I am asked so frequently, I decided to rank the marathons I've completed.  Technically there are only 14 on the list, since I have run Kansas City twice.  The list, Letterman style:

14.  Gobbler Grind Marathon:  Overland Park, KS
13.  Lincoln Marathon:  Lincoln, NE
12.  Country Music Marathon:  Nashville, TN
11.  Chicago Marathon:  Chicago, IL  (#1 for the most overrated marathon ever)  
10.  Oz Marathon:  Olathe, KS
9.    Kansas City Marathon:  Kansas City, MO (The hilliest of any I've run so far)
8.   Go!  St. Louis Marathon:  St. Louis, MO
7.  Route 66 Marathon:  Tulsa, OK
6.  Flying Pig Marathon:  Cincinnati, OH
5.  Marine Corps Marathon:  Arlington, VA
4.  Little Rock Marathon:  Little Rock, AR 
3.  Missoula Marathon:  Missoula, MT
2.  Twin Cities Marathon:  Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN
1.  Disney World Marathon (Goofy Race and a Half Challenge)
