That's the perfect HTFU avatar pic. So, was that due to your calves talkin' to ya? Or just one of those random faces we make just about when the cameras flash? Wink

Nah, that was my random "I am kicking some ass (sorta)!" photo. By the last mile my calves were doing better (an hour of gulping Gatorade Endurance at every aid station finally seemed to be taking effect) and I had a lot of kick left. Apparently I twist my torso a lot, though. Sheesh, the energy I must waste with all that upper body movement... Tongue

I think I'm going to go ahead and cough up the $55 for the entire digital package. In the future I doubt I'd do that, but I've never before ordered any race pics (never seen a single one worth spending money on) and I'll never again get a first marathon to document. I have a really good professional lab that I can upload stuff to, too, so I can make sure that the printing quality is exactly what I want.

Zoomy-Great Pics. I liked the 93-006 too. It looks like you're having fun. I hope my knee gets better soon, I want to get one in since you had such a great time in your first with the leg issues and all.

Nice pictures! Hey, does anyone else feel those prices are too high? Ok - for a Marathon run I can perhaps understand trying to squeeze out some big bucks for it since it's a big (and somewhat rare) accomplishment but I've seen them want to charge that much for a few photos from a 5K race! If they could bring those digital download prices down to $5 to $10 a picture I'd buy a lot more. (just my official two cents worth) Big grin

Thanks! Is it bad that I already have my eye on a camouflage one for a trail relay that isn't until JUNE?! I may not be fast, but I'll be stealthy running through the woods! Evil grin
