In honor of hump day, I thought I’d give everyone a little dose of laughter.
Last night, around the same time that I registered for three more races, I received an email alerting me that the National Half Marathon pictures were posted online.
Needless to say, these photographers have nothing on Caitlin’s amazing race photograph she captured at mile 3.
Caitlin’s picture:
Brightroom’s photographs:
Caption: “Hi, ho, I’m Mickey Mouse – is that Cinderella’s castle behind me?
Caption: Michael Jackson was sighted during Saturday’s National Half Marathon (I’m bad – you know it).
Caption: Maybe if I focus on sticking my tongue out and look at the ground I wont feel these last few feet.
Caption: Okay, there are only a few feet between me and the finish line. If I pump my arms hard enough I’ll reach the finish line before the girl in blue who is chasing me.
Caption: Every good race ends in a glamour shot, complete with elbow sweat and salt stains.
Hopefully my upcoming races, all of which are shorter races, will result in better pictures. But for now, the one thing these pictures do show is that I’m definitely starting to slim down again. That, along with a few good laughs, is more than enough for me at this point.
Happy Wednesday!
I swear I take THE WORST race photos. These photos are really good compared to what I usually get. I do agree Caitlins photo looks much better than the professional ones.
Hah Britt I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder! Hopefully we’ll both get better pictures soon!
Ha, I got a good laugh at your comment about elbow sweat! I kind of thought I was the only one who ended up with sweaty-er elbows than armpits after a good run!!
I think the one of you w/ the Capitol in the background is gorgeous!!
Eh, i think 99.9% of race photographer photos result in horrendous photos for me! Yours are great!
the picture caitlin took of you is one of my favorite race photos ever.
you and ali were sporting some serious salt at the finish line. embrace it as a sign of being a truly bad ass runner.
Maybe Caitlin has a second career as a race photographer? lol
