I just finished my 4th marathon up in Green Bay a couple of weeks ago and had a great time with my wife and running pals.  My wife and I both trained over the winter but not the training we are used to during the summer months. We ran on Tuesday nights and Sat. mornings.  This was our first spring marathon and it is more difficult to train in the winter months in Iowa than during the humidity in July.  We both had a great race and time with our friends. We are now ready to start training for a fall marathon wherever that might be.  Maybe out to Baltimore where my brother runs.
