More Marine Corps!

So, here are some excellent pics from buddies John and Rose - they did not quite capture the UGLY pics though - there must have been a rose-colored filter on that camera.

Marine Corps Marathon ugly pics

Well, the Marine Corps Marathon was GREAT!  The water stops were a twee bit far apart, and I fought BAD leg cramps for the final 10k, but I managed a PR and had a good time doing it.  Oh, and I managed to pose for some semi-ugly marathon race pics...

But, alas, I could not finish without a "crazy chicken goes to Washington" pic!!

pictures swiped from marathonfoto.com.  You can order BIG ones for your collection from them, if you would like.  Next up, more ugly marathon pics, I am sure, and the Purple Stride 5k next Saturday.

Historical Post - Lawyers Have Heart 10k June 2008

This one you have to work for - because of copyrights and all that good stuff. This run was in Washington DC from the Georgetown Harbor. Scenic, but hot - just like running in San Antonio, but scenic-er! 5000 runners and lots of fun to take some ugly pictures. After a previous remark from my sister, yes I was sweating, but I HAD poured a cup of water over my head. (These ugly pics take work and composition, mind you.)
