As I mentioned previously<\/a>, the end of May marks the anniversary <\/a>of run blogging! It is great. But from now on, these monthly highlights will include a look back to a year ago as well as the past month.<\/p>\n

Since the blog didn’t start until the end of the month I only made one post worth highlighting – Chart & Map Your Favorite Course<\/a>. <\/em>When I was blogging as Run Central Indiana each week had a very similar schedule, Monday was a race review, something random, or nothing, Tuesday was a look at the last weekend’s race results, Wednesday was a major post about running, Thursday was a look at the upcoming weekend’s races, and Friday was something random which eventually became Foto Friday.<\/p>\n

During May I started wearing my new Mizunos<\/a>. They are still treating me pretty well! The Twin Cities Marathon closed<\/a>, while the inaugural Indianapolis Monumental Marathon opened <\/a>registration. Author Martin Dugard shared his review of the Tough Guy<\/a> race in Great Britain. If you get hungry out on the trails and want to know what the professional athletes enjoy cooking then you need to check out the Elite Running Cookbook<\/a>. In an Olympic Year I posed a simple question about medal counts<\/a> and character. And on a related note the poll on the right sidebar is still open. I wrote about the USATF’s review of running stores<\/a> across America which featured two Indianapolis area stores.<\/p>\n

Continuing to report the news, Oscar Pistorius will be allowed to compete <\/a>with able bodied athletes and the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon ended in a tie<\/a>. ESPN made a great tribute for Ryan Shay<\/a>. I didn’t get to make it to Boston this year (maybe because I haven’t ran a marathon yet!) but a teacher <\/a>from my Mom’s high school did and the local newspaper wrote a nice piece on it.<\/p>\n

I raced my first mile in a very long time at the TC 1 Mile<\/a> and no one won the $10,000<\/a> bonus.<\/p>\n

It was a busy month! My total mileage for the month is 56.4 miles for 6 hours of running and 108 miles of biking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
