Last night I played 1 hr tennis, ran 3 miles and biked 20 minutes while watching TV. I thought I had the plantar fasciitis under control the last few days because I had been able to do 2 different 3 mile runs without pain the next day but today is a different story. I guess I need to learn to not do tennis and run in the same day

I really hope it's not the tennis that's making it worse, I just found a great hitting partner.

Yay, Turkey Run! I've spent a lot of time there - used to live very close.

I ran Friday and today...

Got a good run in this morning... 4 miles. (first three interval training). I'm getting my average time closer and closer to 10min/mile. I hope to achieve sub 30 minute 5k by the time of my first 5k competition run in a bit over a month, and my second one in about two months. If I get some more weight dropped, I think I can get there.

Good job on getting closer to your fitness goals, coolhand! Which race are you doing next month?

AHA Heartwalk/5k run (I'll be running)

We have a team from work so I'm going to join..

Then on Oct. 6th, I think we're going to go down and do the Mallow Run winery 5k Run/walk. (I'll be runnng)

although I want to do the following also - and not sure if I can afford all three...


Community Health Network sponsored Marathon/half marathon/5k Oct. 20

http://www.indianapolismarathon.com/

I know what you mean, I signed up for a few and then did a double take of how much it had added up to. On top of that, got the e-mail from warrior dash that there is a $20 parking fee! I decided against a few races only because the money is adding up (still better than paying a monthly fee for a weight loss program though). I will be doing the 5K of the monumental, a fun run around halloween and the drumstick dash (4.6 mile course).

No workouts since Monday, it's been a busy week. Excited for the warrior dash tomorrow but not at my fitness goals I had set for the race. I'm running with a friend who runs 10 min miles and was hoping to be up to her pace so that I didn't hold her back. I may be able to stay with her for the first part of the race but won't be able to keep that pace for the full run - unless there are lines at the obsticles

Let us know how the warrior dash went... I almost jumped in at the last minute from the groupon that was out last week...
I was off track a bit over the end of last week and the weekend. I used a few nagging physical pains as excuses. I did do some good walking yesterday (but I should have ran). I worked out this morning and plan to run tonight and hopefully be back on track..

The warrior dash was awesome! My friends and I had such a good time that we decided we'll do it again next year as soon as we finished. We also decided we'll sign up for the spartan race in April. The warrior dash was hard but not as much running as I expected, we were toward the end of our heat so there were bottlenecks at almost all of the obstacles (I was able to keep pace with my friends). Lots of up and down steep hills for the first part of the race and running (walking) in the river bed which was muddy so you couldn't see the limestone rocks. I shuffled through all of the water so that I didn't twist an ankle. the 'running' in the mud with shoes that were packed with mud was harder than I expected. The second half of the race was the man made obstacles and they were a lot of fun and just the right amount of challenge for me. I saw the groupon last week and kinda hated that I could have saved some money - oh well. I highly recommend it but it was probably a good idea for you to skip it if you had any injuries - you should plan on it for next year! The spartan race is reasonably priced if you sign up early, they also send a code for $10 off but parking, mandatory insurance and spectator fees add up. The spartan race also had a kids race for ages 4-13.

Rest day yesterday, tennis tonight or the Y if it's raining.

Is there a particular website you guys look at to get race info? The whens and wheres??

Angie

I haven't found a good one... the thread we have here on Indy runs seems about the best.. Otherwise, I've found websites for individual runs from word of mouth and flyers I've seen posted around (as well as email communications at work for a couple that our company is involved in).

For locally orgainzed races I use this site:
http://www.tuxbro.com/calendar.html
or the indy running site I posted in the other Indy thread

This is a good site for indiana triathlons
http://www.trifind.com/in.html

For the nationally organized races like Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, Color Run, Tap N Run, ect.; I find out about them through word of mouth, facebook, adds on mfp or groupon.

Today - ran 5k this morning - My first sub 10min/mile avg over a 5k Distance! I'm pretty excited...

Good job!! I'm very excited for you

______________

I'm be muddling through with only 3 moderate workouts a week for a few weeks, lots of work and family stuff coming up. Starting September 7th I'll be back to higher intensity/training mode.

Great run this morning! 3.05 miles at an average pace of 8:27

Felt good.

Angie

Nice! You're fast!
