A week ago I met (barely) my main goal for the year which was a sub 3 marathon. Both my parents and my wife and kids were there but they operated on the mistaken assumption that phones take pictures comparable to cameras. Wrong. Cameras take pictures comparable to cameras and I don't care what the phone makers tell you. So, they don't have any pictures of me coming into the stadium although they do have some post race pics. No big deal because you always get some nice pics from the race photographer. Unless he takes a potty break from 2:57 to 3:02.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Haha! I mean, sorry. Seriously? Potty break?

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.

You must be distracted today, I was able to search through the Marshall website and in the photo section found this. Others were not of as good quality so I didn't bother grabbing them. Looks like there was good fan support at the end. And congratz on the sub-3.
Winner!
If this is the worst indignity ever brought upon you by the running gods, you are doing pretty well.

I suppose this may be the wrong time to mention that I have run into a parked car.
Dad on the run.
HAHA! I've done this as well.
Chasing the sub 20 5K.
I searched those pictures 6 ways from Sunday, and there's no getting around it. There is a 3 minute gap at your finish time. I think you just blew them away, and it took three minutes for them to recover.
MTA: is it possible that any of your running buddies got a picture?
This sounds like the start of a new thread.

You'll just have to go run another sub 3 right away.
Runners run
I think I was able to uncover the reason behind the missing photos:
Will run for scenery.
Guess you shoulda run faster.

Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!
