Welcome to the blog.

I envy your ability to get a 5 mile run and a 2 hour nap into the same day as a grad student. What are you studying up there in the Hoosier state?

From MichelleL on Sun, May 18, 2008 at 23:11:55

Welcome to the blog. So what does it take to get a seeded slot at the Indianapolis Marathon?

From Yushen on Thu, May 22, 2008 at 00:53:41

Wop. I just find that I've got comments :-p

My reply:

1. Informatics. 2 hours' nap is a rare thing actually.

2. I need to break into 1:35 for in a certified half-marathon.

So I guess I’m an activist at heart. I noticed we’ve only had 13 votes but 144 views and there are more of you out there. I know some people don’t use the discussion board of the blog so I’m posting this comment on everyone’s blog that has updated in the last few days or so to bring your attention to both the discussion section and the mileage board. Please read the discussion here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html) and then vote here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,348.0.html) if you have an opinion. If you already voted, I am sorry about the “spam.” Thank you!

From Yushen on Tue, May 27, 2008 at 00:20:09

I think we should separate the running miles. I've voted.

From Adam RW on Tue, May 27, 2008 at 08:26:17

Thank you Yushen and welcome to the blog. I actually spoke with Sasha on Saturday and I don't know if any changes will be forthcoming.

Are you planning on running the Indianapolis Marathon or the new marathon downtown? I have ran the Indy Marathon and it is a good race. Not too big so you don't have to worry too much about other runners. There are a few hills (by IN standards) in the course. Good luck!

Total: 85/1209

Age(25-29): 12/155

Short-term goal achieved!

Self-seed at 7-8 min/mile at the beginning.

Was among a pack of runners in the first 2 miles.

Full marathoners were able to talk behind me all the way along.

First 10miles are flat. 10-12 miles are hilly.

New Balance 1061 without orthortics.

Drank Monster for the first time over months.

Mira was driving from Bloomington to Indianapolis.

She ran 5k for 32:11.0.

It was nice.

And I will be seeded next time...
