Tips for runners that are starting to run again

13. If I may make another suggestion...if you're looking for a very neat race.

If any of you live in or near a city that has an NFL team, check to see whether they are having a Back to Football 5K as part of the NFL's Run Series. Dates for these vary. Mine, in Indianapolis, is on the 23rd.

This is a VERY cool race. You begin at the stadium and finish on the 50 yard line -- never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would run into the stadium just as the players do, and then cross the midfield, then rest my tired butt in the end zone. Just. Too. Cool. The rest of the Indy course circles through downtown and is relatively fast, as most downtown Indy events are. (Oh, and the Jumbotron is going too, so you're on big screen TV when you come into the stadium.)

It's runs like this that make me glad I train, even on those days when it was hard to get motivated to even get out the door. And, it's very family friendly. Kids last year loved it.
