indianapolis

So...for the Seattle traveling running contingent's trek this year, we went to Indianapolis. Dave introduced us to Paul and Cheryl...an awesome couple...and a definite highlight. The Indi-Mini Marathon is the largest half in the country and the fifth largest running event.



The course for the Mini-Marathon is like a tour of downtown Indianapolis, beginning near Monument Circle. The route passes by the Indianapolis Zoo, White River State Park and IUPUI, and includes a full lap around the track of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...which is about where I was when the first finisher crossed the finish line...depressing?









We were also tourists and took in the historic sculptures, towers, museums...and even the public library. Actually fascinating. They had a room titled the "Think Tank" which had white board walls, good lighting and a table. I'm sure I could solve more problems if I had access to a room such as this. Right.

Good group. Good fellowship.

One of the later things we did was go to a Lincoln exhibit. This quote was interesting.

Anyway, I'd gladly go again...wonder where next year? And if you're reading this and you're a mellow traveller and female, Angela and I would enjoy your company :)
