The Indy Mini is nice and flat but the Hoosier Half in Bloomington has not one bit of flat--surprisingly the hilly Hoosier Half is my favorite. I can't train for a marathon every year, but really enjoy the 13.1 distance. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-37248320296811884822013-05-02T18:16:12.194-05:002013-05-02T18:16:12.194-05:00Congrats on your PR Jess!

And I haven't found it yet. 100k rides? Sure! But not the full centuries... It will return someday I hope, but I don't need to put myself through that kind of pain again for awhile. :) <br /><br />Sarah<br />www.thinfluenced.comSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429074991314349493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-58349279790394930112013-05-02T14:01:12.172-05:002013-05-02T14:01:12.172-05:00Paducah!Paducah!Run with Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051037584723266364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-71074316037041075922013-05-02T13:51:18.344-05:002013-05-02T13:51:18.344-05:00My calves are bothering me and it's because I ...My calves are bothering me and it's because I got new shoes that are properly fitted for my feet.

When I first started running I lived in Iowa City and there were some good sized hills there so I was good at running hills. Living in the flat land now, the smallest, non-steep hill makes seems hard.

It's good that you're listening to your body and switching to 13.1 for a while. I burned out in 2008 and hated running for a while. I want to do Quad Cities Marathon, did you love it? I've done the Bix7 3 times but never the marathon.Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845328250746261415noreply@blogger.com
