Now that the half-marathon is over I can relax a little bit and let my body recover (and race a mile!).

Last Year

The 2008 Indianapolis Mini-Marathon ended in a tie. I was a little surprised to see 2 Indianapolis and 0 Twin Cities running stores listed in the Top 50 US Running Stores by USATF.  Last year’s TC 1 mile included a $25,000 prize for the first male to go sub-4 and female sub-4:28.  Neither happened! This week’s Foto Friday was from last year’s Get In Gear starting line.

Run: 7.0 Miles
Bike: 4.0 Miles

Last Week the only running I did was the TC 1 Mile and the few mile warmup.  I’ve been trying to let my foot heal up so that I can start getting ready for a fall marathon.  After the race it hurt a bit more than before, but that was to be expected.  We also went camping this weekend to Gooseberry Falls and did a lot of walking (some hiking) around it seems that after icing any pain goes away.  I did do some significant amount of biking, including a hardish 20 mile ride on  Tuesday after noon along the Greenway and Cedar Lake Trail.  It felt pretty good.

Run: 4.5 Miles
Bike: 40.3 Miles
