      PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013

              Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013

      18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010

        We have been together so long (33 years) and

        do so much together that pretty soon we will be like those old couples who start to look like each

        other. Which is usually not a good thing for the woman.Big grin

         

        Or the man. Joking

         

        I have only done a few races, but it seems like most of the photos show me with barely one foot off the ground, much less two.

        This is the closest - can't actually tell for sure based on the lo-res version, almost tempted to buy it to see if it is.

          I think it is... your foot would be hitting the ground at an extremely weird angle if it isn't a floater!

          because i never shut up ... i blog


          Mostly harmless

            I was a total camera whore at the marathon I ran in March.  Out of the 30+ pictures of me at this race the only floater is this one at the finish.

              Not a floater but "couple in sync" shot.

               

              A few years ago a guy we know who does local race photography was looking for a running couple

              to use in some local print stuff.

               

              Hubby and I went out and did some running around, he took pics and I laughed when I saw that

              we are running in sync and it wasn't on purpose. We have been together so long (33 years) and

              do so much together that pretty soon we will be like those old couples who start to look like each

              other. Which is usually not a good thing for the woman.Big grin

               

              Nice shot!

                I need to become more of a camera whore during races, I'm going to start scoping them out and doing crazy stunts in front them lol. These last two races I was in just seemed like the people taking the pics were searching for their friends or people they knew instead of taking pics of everyone. That annoys me, DH will take pics of me but then he'll also take pics of people crossing the start and finish and wherever else he is on course.

                          I don't know if I floated during last weekend's race, I am going to have to ask if someone took pictures.

                            I have no floaters.  **pout**

                            My photos always look like I'm out for a leisurely stroll.

                                As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
