This is my best finishing photo. I have the look of gritting my teeth through pain and determination. (I was still getting over the stomach flu.) The other guy looks like he is having a stroke.

Are you sure that wasn't from the robot dance competition?

The process is the goal.

Did you look at your bib when you put it on? It was supposed to be a "fun run."

If it weren't for the other runner dude in the background, I'd suggest this was staged. No way you get two priceless expressions in one shot.

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

Touch my monkey. Touch it. LOVE IT!

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I cant stop laughing at that photo ... It kind of looks like you are going to hip check that poor stroke victim into the snow bank because he is in your way! My question is based on your log of pretty darn fast 5k's ... how does a guy running with a stroke keep up with you?

I think he's afraid that the guy next to him is pinching a loaf.
