Thanks for setting up this site, Agena! It's so encouraging to share training stories. I wanted to share my top three running paths:
1. Limestone/clay canal path behind Hinkle Fieldhouse (good mile markers)
2. Dirt/rocks/hills Lawrence Creek trailhead path in Fort Harrison State Park (2-mile loop)
3. Asphalt/concrete path in White River Park, esp around the Zoo
But I'm always looking for new spots to run!
Thank you for your blog post Ana! It's great!!
I really like your goal of doing one 5K race/month! I was just thinking today about what I should do after the Mini. I might try that, it's a good goal! Did you tell me you're doing a trail-run series?
Thanks, too, for sharing your running routes!
Who's doing the 10K tomorrow? Don't forget to wear your Vocations shirt from last year. Meet up by the registration tables before the race, and look for other participants in their shirts after the race near the finish line/drink & snack tables. Watch for other participants in their shirts and cheer them on!
Does anyone want a Vocations running singlet from last year to help make a visual presence and increase awareness for our cause? They're $10 each. Ladies and Adult sizes are available (the Ladies sizes are lined in the front). There are 60+ left over singlets from last year that I'm trying to get rid of for Arch. Indy. Any takers? There are two other training races before the Mini in which we'll be meeting, and you can wear the shirt then too. I'll have some shirts with me at the race tomorrow, or you can post here or reply to one of my emails. Make checks payable to Archdiocese of Indpls.
During a race (and during training too) is a good time to offer up prayers for vocations. For example, you could say an 'Our Father', or other prayer(s), as you pass each mile marker. I find it inspirational to pray during a run, and you're doing something for a greater good, other than just for yourself.
Hope to see a lot of you tomorrow!
Godspeed,
Agena Hurrle
I like to run several places. When we run on the canal, we park at the white building (I think it is the Church Federation) on the corner of Michigan Rd. and 42nd. We run down the hill on Michigan to the canal and then past Butler to Illinois and back. This is about 5 miles. For extended runs, you can take the canal path clear to College and then run up the Monon. There are mile markers.
Another favorite running site is Crown Hill Cemetery. We park at the funeral home and run all over the place. There are marked routes that you can get from the office. The hill to Riley's grave is a good work out and I often pray for those who have gone before us.
We also like to run at Eagle Creek, although you have to pay to get in--even if you are running/walking. There are mile markers there on the roads as well as on the trails...Happy Running! Cheri Bush
