Sunday Summary
7 Weeks Until Dubai!
I am returning to Dubai in January for their marathon and really hoping to set a PR there this time! I had a disappointing run last year and really want to turn that around. I will be using a couple of different airlines to get there, as well as different mile programs so stay tune for an overview of the trip!
Weekend Dash: Trail Runs 12/14-12/15
As a way of helping people to reach different races in different places, I have begun to have a “Weekend Dash” where I will propose a race for a particular weekend and how to get there. I had started putting these a week or two out but, due to feedback, will be moving that more to a month or so out to give others more time to plan.
One-Day Amazon Kindle Deals
I am a big fan of the Kindle. I have had a few different models ever since the first Kindle was released and always love them. For reading, they definitely beat tablets in readability and battery life. This sale was a nice, one-day shot to get one of three models at 20% off.

Airline enhancements are not always the most beneficial program changes for the flyer. However, in both of these instances, the enhancements were mostly positive for us! Finally, some good airline news for the flyer!
Making a Dash Miles and Points Package
Since I started a new series of the Weekend Dash to help runners pick a destination to go run in for a weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to demonstrate how to build an effective dash miles and points package – a mile slush fund, so to speak.
Races for 2014
Many readers have been asking me about what races I plan on running for 2014, so I decided to put the list together here along with the reason I chose each race. Be warned – this list can and will change as time goes by! I just wrote this post a few days ago and already am ready to put a new race on the list for February!

Answer to International Roaming Costs?
No question – roaming with your cell phone around the world can get expensive if you stick with your home SIM.

How about if you could do both easily and at a cheap rate? This might be the answer!
