And some roads, too. Some of us are born speedy. Some achieve speediness. Others have speediness thrust upon them. And then, there are the rest of us. The Midpackers. That includes me. Hey, I never claimed to be fast, just a guy who likes to run. 8212; 22:17 (Great North Run, Indianapolis, 2008). 8212; 35:01 (Hit the Bricks, Zionsville, Indiana, 2009). 8212; 45:30 (Circle City Classic, Indianapolis, 2007). 8212; 1:14:14 (Shamrock Shuffle, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, 2005).

See John Run | Hit the Trails
https://hitthetrails.wordpress.com/a-bedtime-story
And some roads, too. Here’s a report of my day at the Tecumseh Trail Marathon. Near Bloomington, Indiana, in December 2008. It was my first trail marathon. Chapter One: See John Run. Run, John, run! John is running a trail marathon. Uh oh, now John is walking. Is this a good thing? This is John’s first trail marathon. And a little nervous. Trails are beautiful. And refreshing to the soul. But they are also hard. Huge hills. Snow and ice. Creek crossings. John is not sure. But he knows one thing. There go...

The day I knew I was a trail runner | Hit the Trails
https://hitthetrails.wordpress.com/the-day-i-knew-i-was-a-trail-runner
And some roads, too. The day I knew I was a trail runner. I still remember the day I knew, deep in my bones, I was a trail runner. It was a winter morning, four years ago, shortly after I moved to Indianapolis. The day was chilly, with a light carpet of snow on the ground. I was looking for a group to run with, and had run across a web site for the Indy Runners. I assumed that the group would run into the park, and hit a few of the trails that I had seen there during an earlier visit. We ran along, then ...

And some roads, too. Perfect way to start the weekend. On November 24, 2013 by Trail Boy. How about a little neon to brighten up the woods? Here’s our group at Yellowwood State Forest before the run. (Photo by Terry Fletcher). What a great way to start the weekend: running for a few hours in the woods, making a few new friends and catching up with old friends. It’s been too long since I’ve done this — at least two years, maybe more. Re planning to run the marathon on Dec. 7. They did a great job of marki...
