If there is any way you can get to Phoenix for the MR seminar being offered on Oct 18, I would strongly suggest it. See the thread that was just started on this page.

You might want to also give more info - what are your goals for mileage running? Do you want to gain a certain status with AA or NW by the end of the year? Will you be traveling a lot next year and can use the benefits that come with whatever status you attain? Those are a couple just for starters.
