    So, after a hard year of plantar fasciitis and shinsplints I feel like I am ready to run the Indianapolis monumental half marathon on Saturday. The training has not gone as well as I would have hoped but I feel like I am ready to run the full (half?)13.1 miles. I did some of the…

    Today I ran the Carmel Marathon Keybank 8k. It was the second year for the race weekend that consists of a full marathon, half marathon, 8k, and one mile family walk. Last year I ran the half marathon, but since I’m not yet back in shape to run 13.1 miles I opted for the 8k…

    Today I ran the Emerald City Half Marathon in Dublin, Ohio! I left on Saturday and the first stop in town was at Fleet Feet Columbus for packet pickup. They were giving $50 off either the Asics Speedstar or DS-Trainer, so I just had to take advantage. The DS-Trainer was a shoe I had been…

    Today was the Carmel Half Marathon and I finished in 2:12 watch time. There was some walking after mile 9 because my hip felt like it was tightening up again. Just wasn’t feeling 100% after having a cold this week, and my training after the Mini didn’t go well. Just that one 9.something mile run…

    Today was race day! Yipee! I left my house at about 5:45AM, well it was exactly 5:45AM as I hit the button to lower the garage door.  Made it downtown fast enough, just a bit of traffic getting in to my chosen garage.  I parked basically right outside of my coral.  I hit the porta…

    On Saturday I ran the 5k in about 26:27.. I say about because the online results just showed my gun time for some reason, so my time is what Runkeeper on my iPhone showed.  I did the miles in 8:26, 8:27, and 8:51.  The last mile was so much slower because of the numbness in…

    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…
