Indy Mini Marathon Countdown and Hints!

Okay Lund Runners! The countdown to the race has begun!

I like to run outside when it's not freezing cold outside (right now, we're at -3). To help me on my runs, I use mapmyrun.com to quickly and easily plan a jogging route. The site lets you click on the map to record your running route. It will automatically follow the roads or paths. The site gives you the total distance as well as mile markers for your route. If you're running outside, I would suggest you check out the site!

Thank you to Bob for posting the pictures of the route. It looks to be a fun filled jog through the ghetto of Indianapolis!

Are you getting excited yet?
