Indianapolis Monumental Half Race Report
Today was the big day – The Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon. Race time temp was around 27 degrees! I hung out in the lobby area of the parking garage until about 20 minutes before start time. I had on my Brooks Infiniti beanie, Nike convertible gloves, Nike “thermal” running shirt and vest, and Brooks running…

Countdown to the Indy Monumental Half Marathon
So, I’ve neglected the blog. But I haven’t neglected my running, and the Indy Monumental Half Marathon is this coming Saturday. I got in 10 mile and 7 mile runs on the Monon the past couple Saturday’s. It was pleasant enough, and I kinda liked seeing other people the entire time. Good change of pace…

New Shoes – Brooks Cascadia
Got a new pair of shoes in the mail today – Brooks Cascaida 5. And a new beanie, the Infiniti in Green, and, not pictured, Brooks Vapor Dry 3D Stadium Pants. The Beanie is just kinda like a skull cap thing, with the bottom few inches, around the ears, being made of fleece and the…

Visit to the Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities
Today, I went to visit the Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities when the Run Happy bus stopped at Castleton Square Mall. The lower level of the bus has a couple small “freak show” type displays of some of the features of the Brooks shoes. Pretty entertaining and creative little displays. The upper level of the bus…

Saturday’s 9 miler
On Saturday, and, yes, I know I’m bad about updating, I got myself out the door and managed to run 9 miles. It was about 40 degrees when I walked out the door, but being in shorts and a “thermal” running shirt kept me pretty comfortable for the run. I actually felt a little warm…

Still Chugging Along
I’m still chugging along, trying to get myself up to be able to run the Monumental Half Marathon on November 6. This past Saturday I managed to run 7 miles. It was raining in the morning so I waited until 12:30 or so to start the run, after the rain had stopped. It was overcast…

5 miles at 90 degrees
Just got in from a 5.3 mile run in 90 degree heat. If that didn’t help me forget the problems of the day! My legs were feeling pretty good, and the Superfeet seem to be giving me support right where it feels the best. They still feel a little funny, but I think it’s a…

3.5 mile Short loop with new Superfeet!
Tonight was another short loop.. grinding them out.. I did it about 13 seconds slower than last night, and I’ll blame the steady 11MPH wind from the west on that. I got some Superfeet Green insoles in from Zappos today. Wanted to try them to help give my arches some support since I feel like…

Did my short loop tonight
I did the “short loop” around my neighborhood tonight – 3.5 miles, at about 8:45/mile pace. I’m not too disappointed with that pace really, and my legs and feet felt pretty good. Just taking it easy for the next week or so. Planning on doing 5 miles on Saturday and then 6 miles the following…

Easing Back in to It
Went for a short 2 mile run tonight, and just 1 mile last night. Trying to ease myself back in to things after all the time off while on vacation / remodeling my house. And trying to avoid reinjuring my foot so that I can at least do the half marathon on November 6th. My…
