Le professeur de trail
Murky simply because it's a Monday. I am resting today but honestly feel so much better than I did two years ago after my first 50. But I hope I haven't spoken too soon.
QOTD: During a race, what do you do when you see a photographer?
I always feel weird about it. Should I give eye contact? smile? thumbs up? look natural?
After looking at pics from Stone Mill, I realized most people do give eye contact and seem to smile for the camera. Note to self - it's not weird to do so!
Have a great day!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
I'm also resting today. Probably no running for me this week. I hope I can do a little cross training later this week. My quads are in a lot of pain but should be feeling better by tomorrow.
QOTD: I used to wave but always hated the pictures, so now I just smile.

SRD today. Will hit the trails tomorrow and see what damage the wind did from last nights strong thunder storms.
QOTD: I try to pose like Dean Karnazes - lean to one side, kick my heel up to buttock and contact EVERY muscle.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
Morning all! I've been a non-runner these past few weeks, just averaging 3 miles per week- ugh. I haven't run since a week ago Sunday when I sprained my ankle pretty badly. I had a couple of plans/attempts to run, but they all fell apart. As I'm closing out my job this week, I'm seeing much more daylight time to get back into the swing of things! Cannot wait
I'm hoping to get out for a short run tonight while the boys are swimming. I'll report back tomorrow.
qotd: so do I!!
ok, maybe smile. I never like them nor buy them anyways, so I generally just ignore the photographers.
Thread killer ..
Waiting on my horseshoer hoping to get some miles in later , our weather is going to change tonight
QOTD : I stop and pose . I buy them if I look even half way ok . I have a couple friends who are professional photographers mainly at horse shows , I know they depend on people buying the pictures so I do.
Got in 5.5 last night.
Hope all the stone mill peeps had a great run!
QOTD I usually don't even notice them, if I do I just give them the peace sign.
Rest day.
QOTD: I use to give a piece sign or a thumbs up and even try to put a smile on my face but I always come out looking like some mad man with a wild snarl that would give little kids nightmares. Now I just run by as quick as I can to save me from the embarrassment of more than one race pic.
Faster Than Your Couch!
Run for fun.

It's a rest day...and I am tired. If you didn't look at Sunday check out the shot of my sweet Earl.
QOTD: Try to smile maybe wave or peace sign but usually hate my pictures.

Thanks to Warden's QOTD yesterday, I made it out to the real trails, saw a spectacular sunset, and took a cool pic of my city! 15 miles yesterday, and 5 today.
QOTD: Dunno. Just stare at them I suppose.

I'm a full on poser! I straighten my clothes, adjust my posture and smile. Sometimes I show off my guns.
I love it!
Yes I noticed. I thought that was funny but also wondering how you had the legs to jump. Must have been early in the race.
Queen....great pic of Earl and his prize! Dogs go to great lengths to entertain us.
I am at the trail head now...poised to do 7. The family drama has simmered down...now I have to decide if I can salvage my training and run my marathon Dec 7. I am not feeling very hopeful...we will see.
qotd: I don't race much...it is likely I would not pose or even make eye contact.

8 or 10 after work. It will be on a normal route but extended a little bit this evening. I didn't get crap done this weekend. I really need 10 if I have the time.
QOTD: Nothing. I usually don't notice them.
