Indianapolis Monumental Marathon : Official Thread

I'm in. (as long as my foot doesn't get worse....  fingers crossed!)

I'm running the half.

Did last year, but can't fit it in this year.  Have a great run.

I should have been more specific: I am also running the half.

to be more specific TJ and I are both doing the half.

This is my first "race" run longer than 10k

Was planning on doing the half but now have to go to Phillie PA for work. Maybe next year.

Wake up...

5 more days.

Moose and I did a 90 minute run last night. Easy run tonight, and 2 more short runs this week.

I'm running in the new Zoot Advantages. I think, with the projected temps (45* at race start), I will probably wear tights and a long sleeve shirt.

Yikes! I don't know how it managed to sneak up on me, but it did. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day for a run!

For anyone wanting a pace band...

For anyone tring to narrow down what to wear:

Tonight, 48*, ran in tights and long sleeve shirt and my Nike ball cap. I think I'm going to switch to a visor, but everything else was OK. Still like the Zoots, though tonight, I ran in some cotton socks, didn't realize it until just before I left, and too lazy to go get some wool ones - now I have wet sweaty shoes...

Eh, I like doing the math while I run.... keeps me busy!


And, I think you're right about the tights and long shirt.   maybe my thin gloves and a throwaway hat.  (I keep a shaved head)   I wore one tonight @56 deg and took it off after 2 miles.

That's precicely why I use a pace band. Overthinking things is my enemy.

Best wishes to all the BT'ers out there.  I will likely ride down to watch.  Sounds like great weather.
