Racing Through October (IND)

Just the facts today; no time for dilly-dallying. Important announcements below.

 

Workout:

Race Day. ‘Nuff said… On second thought, I want any newbie readers to be able to brag to co-workers about what they put themselves through this morning, so here’s what you did today: Up-n-over (uno), 50 sit-ups, uno, 50 push-ups, uno, 50 mtn climbers ea leg, uno, 25 burpees, uno. By the way, AWESOME job showing up and toeing up this morning by our first timers and by all those who nailed down a new PR (looking at you, Kitty and JoeyMac, each shaving off over a minute!!!). Shout-out to our selfless, always helpful “pilot” runners guiding others through the Race Day gauntlet!

 

Notes/Announcements:

• Friday’s workout will be at the north end of the downtown canal by the waterfall and IU Health, 6a sharp.
• NEXT WEDNESDAY (all caps to get the attention of 6:15’ers as we forgot to announce this at the workout) let’s see some HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND PUMPKINS. It’ll be a pumpkin-weight workout, so bring one or two or three (if you’re looking out for forgetful others)!!!
• Thanks so much for those who brought some Puerto Rico helping donations. We’ll be collecting canned goods, diapers, baby formula, and toiler paper through next Friday, 11/03. From Mrs. Seaton, her kindergarteners, their families, and Puerto Ricans you’ll never meet but who can really use the help…THANKS!!!
• Paint Crew: You. Guys. Rock. Thanks so much for the early morning devotion (check the   IG story), the pristine tags, and the donated cans of paint (Dave Waters bought and brought us ten cans!! Stick it, Fruit Loops bird). Very much appreciated by all!! Sarah, Jaden (+ pics!), Dave, Stew, Beth, Thanks!!
• BIG November coming up featuring yoga, Monumental (see below), and two stadium workouts as our crowning jewel!!! (Thank Blake Roebuck when you see him.) Help us hype it all up to get #s, and stay tuned for details.

 

• MONUMENTAL MARATHON stuff:
  • Monumental Social: This Thursday (tomorrow) TwoDEEP Brewery is hosting NP Indy for our pre-Marathon Social.

    – Bring shirts to tag (if you don’t tag them tomorrow at race day) *Weather Permitting
    – Bring Arts & Crafts to help make signs for all of our NP Runners.
    – It will be 21+ at the Brewery

  • Sun King Brewery is hosting us @3p for a post-race chill out, …post-race (11/04); Please join + invite all!
  • Our very own Andrew Peterson is making HUGE waves in this marathon. Andrew is attempting (and undoubtedly succeeding) in not only qualifying for the Boston Marathon, but qualifying as only the second ever Special Olympian EVER to do so. Let, me type that again. Second EVER. Wow. Let’s go Andrew!!!
  • Finally, Marathon morning logistics:
    • ALL: Race starts with an opening ceremony at 7:30am at the corner of Washington and Capitol streets. All runners take off in waves starting at 8am. Good luck! We’ll get you hyped up with a BOUNCE @7:20 sharp on the south steps of the Statehouse (same place we bounced for the Mini): In this map link, btwn “George Washington Statue” and “Indiana House of Representatives.”
    • CHEERERS: We’ll go from the bounce up to our spot at the Broadway United Methodist Church, which is (fortunately for us) right where the full and half split). I’ll bring coffee; Beth’s running, so we’ll need a new donut donor. I’ll be coming from up north and parking downtown at Meridian and MD streets for the bounce before heading to our spot; first 4 ppl to speak up have a seat in my vehicle.
    • Race routes: half and full.

Bundle up, get outside, and enjoy this fall weather!
