Running to Drink: Indy Craft Beer and the Mini-Marathon The Best Half Marathon in the U.S. and an Underrated Craft Beer City

Check out my in-depth recap of the #IndyMini race weekend and all the craft breweries I visited while in Indianapolis. drinkswithdarin.substack.com/p/running-to...

What a way to start the month of May. Wasn’t planning to race a 5k the weekend after the #indymini but it’s for Pride and… peer pressure 🤷🏻‍♀️ #runsky gonna take it easier tomorrow with a bike ride probably

Huge effort in Indy to get everything reopened and cleaned up after the mini. They are already gearing up for next year. Sharing the Beauty in Indy.

Phew! First mini-marathon in the books! I'm immensely grateful to have participated in the Indy Mini.

Running with 20,000+ others while bands play music at every corner and people cheer you on every mile of the way is an AMAZING experience!

#IndyMini #500Festival #MiniwithaMeaning #13.1miles

Finished a half marathon, cleaned up and changed into something more powerful. #indymini #slowaf #bskyrunners #fightracism #empowerwomen

The #indymini did not disappoint! What a fun race 😍 #halfmarathon #PB

Settling in to our new digs for the month of May. Today will involve long bike ride & introducing the baby to the beach. Best of luck to your sister & all #indymini runners

It’s Saturday and that means coffee

For me spectating my sister in the #IndyMini, watch 14’s ISSMA symphony performance, and giving a talk on lung involvement to the Myotonic Dystrophy Association meeting

Nice little Saturday

Let us see mugs

Post-race refreshment tables with “this is May” on a building in the background.

Come and get it! Only 13.1 miles and one lap of IMS away! #IndyMini

A volunteer setting up a huge stack of finish-line refreshments in the pre-dawn.

It’s 6am, do you know where your runners are? Hopefully they’re in Indianapolis for the #IndyMini!

Ready to race or somethin tomorrow. 🤘🏻 #runsky #indymini #halfmarathon

Sometimes, runs feel great. Other times, it's a slog and a checkmark on the training calendar day. Today's was the later. #running #indymini

The #IndyMini yep run it nearly every year

Great race

Finally well enough to get my first post-flu run done today. Only took 3 weeks to get over the coughing and wheezing #running #indymini

Running even tho no one is chasing me. Let’s gooooooooo #IndyMini #MilerSeries 🏃🏻‍♀️

Mentally preparing to get back to running tomorrow. I hate it so much! But I need some more cardio in my life than walking can give me. Hoping my legs hold up injury free. #stayhard #goggins #mentaltoughness #IndyMini #training

OK planned my spring races and put together my training plan (which always helps keep me motivated)

#IndyMini Half Marathon May 3

Gonna be a good spring if I can stay healthy

#Running

Weeks of respiratory issues kept me sidelined from the treadmill. Happy to report I just got my first half mile in. Gonna build that heart back up! #running #indymini

That’s half number 11. #indymini

The #indymini packet pickup was giving these away, 2-3 per person. That level of caffeine seems… excessive.

Gearing up for OneAmerica #IndyMini half marathon on #BowTieFriday, I'm contemplating endurance. What keeps you going when you feel like giving in? @docwithbowtie.bsky.social

Hey @IUMedSchool @IUIntMed @IUMedPeds

Who is running the @OneAmerica #IndyMini on Saturday?

Let's hear from some of you

#WhyIMini

It’s Saturday

And that means coffee (from a dainty mug)

And a run on a tenuous calf to see if I’m gonna be ok for the @OneAmerica #IndyMini next week

And an ISSMA symphony concert

Let’s see mugs

This would be ok except I am supposed to run the #indymini in 2 weeks, my first real race since the same injury in July 2021 and I’ve had a good training block

Now how to handle the week from a training standpoint before the @runyamacraw 50k this weekend…

I think some easy miles seem in order

Felt the lack of training this past month but I’m fine with this

Weather was ideal

So happy we can do this again
