Views from my run: Downtown Indianapolis

I traveled two weeks ago and I love doing these posts (views from my run). I take a lot of photos when I run. That week I was in Indianapolis for a work conference, and I had 20 hours from the time I checked in at my hotel to when I had to register the next day for the conference. So the first thing I did was go for a run.

I’m so lucky because I stayed at the Hilton downtown and it’s so close to so many great places! My room literally looked at the state capitol building!

The girl at the front desk told me how to get to Canal Road and said it was safe and there would be other runners, so I took off.

I kept circling and backtracking and in the end I got in 3.3 miles. It ended up being a slowish run because of all the picture taking, but it was so great.

I loved ending up on their Culture Trail, seeing the Colts’ stadium, running beside water all while keeping my eye on my hotel. (I’m awful with directions. AWFUL. So it’s a wonder I don’t get lost in cities I’m unfamiliar with, while running.)

Have you run in any new places lately? Do you like taking photos of your running escapades? And how do explore new cities if you have a short time frame?

  1. These are great scenes for stopping to snap a few pics on your run. Usually people are running in wooded areas, not in the city. Nice to see a change of scenery

  2. i don’t take pics. i can barely focus enough to breathe and not get lost. i think i’m doing something wrong. LOL

  3. Wow, Downtown Indianapolis is beautiful. Looks like you had a great time. I want to take a road trip there- I heard they have an awesome Children’s Museum and Zoo!

  4. I have never taken a picture while running, I should though as I always use my phone for music so I could totally take a picture
