Welcome back to our Sunday Summary Series where we list the stories that were covered throughout the week.
Sunday Summary
Multiple Marathon Monday: Multiple Marathons or Ultra Marathons
Which is the more difficult task – running consecutive marathons or running ultra marathons? Both can be a challenge and a lot will depend on how well your body handles recovery. Which do you prefer?
New American Express Delta Offers Out
American Express refreshed their Delta credit card offers so that they now come with a statement credit. However, they have also raised the required minimum spending amount. Unfortunately, the award miles that are part of the bonus has not gone up. There are some 50,000 Delta American Express Gold card offers that are being targeted, so watch your e-mail!

Boston Marathon Registration Has Closed!
The time has come and all 36,000 Boston Marathon slots have been filled (by those who have qualified, there are some charity slots that are still left). Did you get in? Did you qualify but chose to pass this year?
