We ran the Indy Half Marathon back in October. We actually did worse this time than last time. Well, Niki did. I still managed to haul ass for the last 3 or so miles in order to beat my Geist time by 5 minutes. Lack of training really killed us. It wasn't nearly as much fun as Geist was, but I can't point to anything that made it un-fun. Except the cold. That was un-fun. Seriously, we started the race with numb feet. It took about a mile before our feet thawed enough for us to feel the ground. We'll probably do it again, if we can. We'll not stay in a hotel, though. We'll just drive down the morning of. It'll save a ton of money.
We signed up for the Indy Mini in May. We get to run a lap on the Indy Motor Speedway. And, we get free tickets to opening day of the track. Also known as the Indy 500. At least, I think that's what is happening on opening day. Not a NASCAR fan, this guy.
Anyways, we're obviously going to fail at our goal to make it to 1000 miles by the end of the year. So, no more of that, we're just going to track the cumulative number of miles we run in training and races and when it gets to 1000, we'll have a party or something.
