I found a great site with a lot of runs for the year laid out in a simple plain format. The rest of the thread can be used to discuss if anyone is attending any of them (special threads could be made if we get several people all running the same event and plan to meet up). Also, if anyone has runs not on this site, please post them here...

    I'm thinking there's a pretty good chance I'm going to run the Shamrock 5k/10k in Yorktown, IN on 3/16... It's close to me, and I've spent a lot of time running there while my kid is in wrestling practice there...

    Good link. Not sure that I'll do many runs but pretty sure I'll do the July triathlon at Eagle Creek. Are you going to do the 5K or 10K for the Shamrock?

    Not sure which yet - probably 5k as it's pretty soon. I'm hoping to do a 10k by summer time-ish but I don't think I'm quite ready yet.

    Where and when: Zionsville High School, 1000 Mulberry St., Zionsville; Sunday, February 3 at 1:00 PM

    Why: It's Superbowl Sunday--running 7 miles is a great way to earn some nachos and beer!

    I am doing the "Color Me Rad" 5k on Sept 14th at the state fairgrounds. I didn't see it on the calendar. I'm using my C25k app and my goal is to jog the entire time without walking intervals.
    Thanks for sharing the calendar link~!

    If you haven't yet, check out the c2k5 (couch to 5k) program ( http://c25k.com ). There are many free apps for it also. It will easily have you running the entire time way before then...

    I did the Color Me Rad last year too! I had a blast! I plan on doing it again this year. They are also having the Color Run (pretty much the same race) in Indy on 7/20 I believe.

    I have also looked into doing the Rock the Relay on 4/13. You get a team together to run 2.2 mile loops around the White River state park and your team as a whole will accomplish a marathon. If you have a team of 6 you end up doing 2 - 2.2 mile loops.

    Cool link. I wish had enough $ to do a bunch on runs this spring/summer/fall. So far I'm only signed up for the Spartan Sprint. I'll probably end up running in the Shamrock 4 mile and hopefully a couple of others. I did Color Me Rad last year and had fun, but not sure if I'll run it again...

    If you haven't done c2k5 (couch to 5k) yet, I'd recommend starting with that. Everyone also says go to a running shop and get your gait alanlyzed and get a good pair of shoes off that analysis. (although I bought a pair of Vibram five fingers and have been running quite happily with them ever since without following that advice)

    Do it! Before I signed up I was pretty self conscious and intimidated because I am pretty sure most people walk faster than I run. However, once I got there and stood in the back few (slow people) corrals, I realized I was surrounded by many first timers as well. That was pretty liberating. It wasn't until about mile 3 that I actually felt like a member of the club and realized I was actually doing it. If you have to walk a bit, no biggie.

    Just make sure you save enough to RUN past the Sons of Silence motorcycle gang clubhouse.
    Not Kidding.

    I also agree with coolhand. Get the right shoes. It makes a world of difference!
