    I’ve finished up the first week of the YMCA’s Mini-Marathon training program that I randomly decided to sign up for.  Part of the decision was based on having a $50 coupon to the YMCA, part based on wanting to be more social (in running and life..), and part on having a structured plan. With the…

    On 1-11-11 I went go to see the premier of Hood to Coast, a movie about the relay race of the same name.  Basically, the relay race has teams of 12 running from Mount Hood to the Pacific ocean – a distance of about 197 miles. I went to see the movie at the GQTI…

    I’m still slowly easing myself back in to running.  Tonight was a 25 minute run, and it’s just the second time that I’ve done that.  My legs are feeling a little sore from all the time off as my muscles get stronger, but it’s not pain like before.  I’ve been working out at the YMCA…

    Those Brooks Cascadia shoes that I ordered in October? I ended up not liking them after all.  I sent them back to Brooks on November 10, they received them on the 17th.  I emailed them on November 29 and December 1 asking where my money was.  They finally replied on the 1st and said they…

    So I haven’t really run for nearly four weeks.  I went to a physical therapy place that is attached to the YMCA.  I gave them the prescription and did my initial appointment, but, for some reason, they only scheduled me for 3 followup appointments.  I didn’t even get an appointment that entire week after Thanksgiving…

    I tried to go out for a run on Tuesday, 10 days after the Monumental Half.  I had gone the whole 10 days wearing an Ace bandage or Zensah compression sleeve.  I had bought “The Stick” and tennis balls and a foam roller and used them all.  I had used the rowing machine and stationary…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…
