Feets don't fail me now
See, i think you look like a very competent runner pushing through pain. I just look stupid. But in the interest of having a laugh (and I have no pride), here it is!
just to clarify, this is what I look like when I'm not looking so special, lol
Oh wait, here was me with my medal:
Nice flicks! Much ado about nothing.
I can own it. I learned a little something in my first race. In order for me to get good pics I need to:
1. wear sunglasses
2. increase my stride length when I'm coming into the finish line since I tend to look like I'm walking all the time. Even when I'm speedy (for me) I look like I'm walking!
3. Try not to be rejoicing - look focused. Mental images of Rocky.
4. Improve my race-day fashion and don't grab whatever tech clothing is clean. I need to pay Damaris or Steph to come up and style me!

Believe me when I tell you, the only thing that matters is the timing of the finger on the shutter button. A good shot is mostly all luck!

This was my first HM last month about 200 yards from the finish. 1:44:48.
Liz, the one photo I have of myself during a race I look like I'm out for a stroll and texting a few steps before the finish line. And it's from my 5K PR.
Clearly I've gotta run another one just to get a better photo.

Yes. Yes I did.
on an unrelated note I was pretty amazed that it took me 34 minutes to get to the starting line!

lol, texting a few steps from the finish line cracks me up! Maybe you were posting your RR on here...
Barking Mad To Run
Here I am running a slow 5k after injury. It was pretty hot so my face is red. I don't know why they do a May evening race in San Antonio.
We do evening races in San Antonio, Dan, cuz we want to make you suffer. I remember that event...you finished just about twice as fast as me, lol.

That is awesome!
I disassociate when I run so I usually don't realize they were taking pics until I'm at home!
@runjerseygirl
This is what happens at the end of a race, when you're banging out your first ever sub-9 mile after having already run 4 at your average pace. It's not pretty.
Do you even run?
