Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

I will be there. Not sure what to expect since I ran Boston 3 weeks ago and a relay 2 weeks ago. My legs are starting to get a little life back into them. Should be fun regardless.

Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

I'm there. I think Imsoslow is running it too. Please feel free to email me. Have you ever run the Indy Mini before? It's an experience. cj

Indy is a great experience! I am sidelined with an injury right now, otherwise I'd be heading over that way next weekend.

Have fun, Indy Running Boomers!!!!

Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

Anne, really sorry to hear about your stress fracture. I hope it heals quickly. I'm sure the conditioning you are doing will make the transition back to running a smooth one for you. Please keep us updated on your progress. Next race you enter, let me know. Maybe I'll join you. Cindy

This will be my 3rd year running Indy. This year, I am bringing along my 16 year old son and he will be running it also. He has run 3 halfs this spring so far, so he's certainly ready.

I'll be tailgating in the first turn at the track. Stop by for a Milwaukee's Best and a Johnsonville! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

Good luck to all at the Mini!

Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

How nice! Will you both be running together, or are you at different paces? This is the first year my nephew isn't running it in awhile. He tried for the 500 medal 2 years in a row, and just missed it both times. Responsibilities caused him to bow out this year -- just not enough time to train. We never ran together since he is much faster than I, but it was always special knowing we were on the same course.
Do you know yet when you are going to the expo? cj

Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

He is faster then I am. He has ran one without me this year & won his age group, then the other 2, he ran with me for 6 miles then took off.

Were taking off around 3 pm from western Ohio, so will probably be at the expo around 5:30.

Re: Indianapolis - May 5th

I'm running it too. This will be my third year in a row. I come all the way from NY (state) for this race!

This is a race I have been running with my brother, who lives in Ohio.

I've been a runner for a long time, but he has just been running for a few years. The Indy Mini is an event we decided to run together. This year, my nephew (who lives in Indy) and my nephew's father-in-law (from England) will be joining us. It'll be the first half marathon for them.

We run the race at a pace that my bro is comfortable with--it's a little slower than what I can handle, but I like running as his wing-man. Though we're not setting any records, the experince of the race and the atmoshpere and spending time together is priceless.
