    Vinegar Strokes

    We are the music makers,

        And we are the dreamers of dreams,

    Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

        And sitting by desolate streams; 

    World-losers and world-forsakers,

        On whom the pale moon gleams:

    Yet we are the movers and shakers

        Of the world for ever, it seems.

      These are my favorites. My first sub-4 and also my first BQ.

      This was very close to the finish:

              Yeah, funny how much all-out effort looks like a yawn.

                I think I yawned just looking at it.

                  The end of a half marathon in April.  Note that I look like I am going to cry.

                   

                  And the end of a 50K this past weekend.

                  "When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."

                    Not sure I ever congratulated you on that, man.   Great work.

                          The finish of the Frederick Running Festival HM a couple weeks ago.  My first sub 1:45 HM.

                            Ilene, which one is you? KIDDING!

                            But the guy is the back is clearly sandbagging, he's not working very hard. Did he just dash in from the sidelines for a photo-op?

                              Are those really both the same person? Because that guy on the bottom looks like he ready to kick some azzes...

                                It's an awesome shot, but missing a little bit of context here.
