Yep, I ran Rock n Roll Denver a week and a half ago. Genius that I am, I signed up for it 5 days BEFORE my first marathon in January. 
Training was kind of rough because I'm in school, and I was so ready to be done with long runs. I'm slow, so a 20 mile run pretty much takes up my entire day by the time I recover, take an ice bath, and get some food. That said, if it weren't for school, I would totally be signing up for another one right now! On the other hand, though, not having to dedicate one day each weekend to a long run is going to make ski season a lot better...
Good luck at NYC. That one is pretty high on my "to-do" list. My best friend ran it about 5 years ago, and we flew out to cheer for her. It was amazing!

I just skipped the Canyonlands "other half" in Moab October 17---the rest of my family did this. We ran the "first half" in March and it was a blast. Due to work demands, training and the half were just too much for me right now. The March half is great---but training season is also ski season...so on some days a decision must be made about a long run or a ski day. I did both one day and it kicked my butt (the next day I skiied with Rachel and SnowHot and I was toast due to the fact that I skied 6 hours the day prior followed by an 8 mile run after. I do have to admit I am old enough to be most Diva's mother).
I've been trading road running for trail runs this summer/fall.
Running is a fabulous part of life and go for it.

Good for you guys! If I tried to run in Denver, I'd be a wheezing mess. I did run the San Diego Rock'n'Roll full a few years ago and it was fun.
I am planning to sign up for Canyonlands Half in Moab next March. It just looks so beautiful. Registration opens next week.
New York was awesome! Clear day, great crowds. I'm a slow poke, but I did get my best time at age 44!
This was my second New York marathon and I HIGHLY recommend it. I have never run a race like it: people lining the whole 26.2 miles, 30 deep, screaming their heads off for total strangers.
