Wednesday May 26, 2010

Run, Bike, Bike



As I age, I would take 80 and humid year around. Yea it is a little tough now, but your body will adapt to it.


As for today, a short 4 mile run and on the bike for the journey to the Downtown Indy store.


The Monon at 9am during the week is easy , mostly clear of people. Only 15.25 miles but I will get more on the return trip tonight as I use all the trail systems to get back to Carmel.


downtown a few miles away

This morning isn't as humid as yesterday, and sure beats cold and wind . This is great ,and have I said this is fun yet ? Who would have thought, great flats DT

Weaving thru the DT neighborhoods, I arrive. Next up a shower, yea we have one in the store,


122 N Delaware, the Downtown flagship store entrance

Looking at the clock after the refreshing shower, I am pretty hungry, and guess what is around the corner, a breakfast Burrito, YES


And as I am heading over for the great Burrito, Downtown Indy is in major fluff up mode for one of the best weekends of the year in Indianapolis, the Indy 500


Setting up grandstands on the circle for the parade


Not a cloud in the sky this morning

And a fountain, Oh Doug they are not on your list !!



And another, looks like a early morning run downtown and you get a 2 fer


Its a buffalo spewing water

For marathon runners the famous blue line. The line in which the marathon is measured. 26.2 if you stay on the line. But in this case , don't cross this parade line or you may end up in jail , a horse stomp on your foot, or a clown abuse you.

Looking at parade route north on Pennsylvania

A few of these sitting around , Camaro Pace Car


So , the morning has started out great and the saga will continue tonight, as the ride home will take a great route, wonderful views and a beverage waiting at the end.

Run 4 miles, Bike dt 15.25, back to Carmel 18
