Schedule changes

My finish in next weekend's Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon will mark my 8th marathon or ultra in the last 12 months, good enough for a promotion to Level 2 (or whatever the catchy nickname is for it) of Marathon Maniacs. It'll be short-lived, since the New Year's Double will get me to Level 4.

But the New Year's Double will get a bunch of other people to Level 4 too, and let's face it, that makes me a little less special. I'd reviewed the Maniacs criteria before and always figured Level 6 would probably be where I'd ultimately top out, getting there with 6 marathons in 16 days (3 weekends of back-to-backs). I've decided to reach that goal sooner than planned -- about this time next year.
