Indianapolis has a new marathon this year on November 1. Straight from their website, "The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Course highlights a number of great buildings and features in our beautiful and convenient Indianapolis downtown including: the Indiana State Capitol, the Arts Garden, Lucas Oil Stadium, Circle Center Mall, Monument Circle, a number of federal monuments, the Cultural trail and the Mass. Ave. District. We are also happy to showcase several interesting and lovely neighborhoods including the Old Northside, Fall Creek Place, Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington and Broad Ripple."I ran the Chicago Marathon a few years back, and the thought of doing something that's happening for the first time is pretty cools, so I decided I'm going to give it a shot. It's pretty late to get into the training schedule (most of the shorter schedules run around 18 weeks, and there are about 16 weeks til the race), but I think I have one modified to get me ready for the race. The route map on the marathon site is super low res and sucks, but if you compare it to Google Maps, you can figure out where it's going. They also posted a video of the route, for those of you familiar with Indianapolis:
I'll do my best to stick to the program and try to update my progress here once a week or so. Anybody else wanna join me?
