[Today’s run: Limerock Road, 4 miles]
I received an email tonight with some links to race pictures from the 1/2 marathon last Saturday.
It is an interesting idea (I think so anyway) that a photographer will take lots of pictures at a marathon or half marathon, then they send you some samples with the hopes that you will buy some.
It is amazing what people can do when the cost of making pictures no longer includes film, development, printing, etc.
Anyway, I always feel like I am triumphing over adversity during these events. Or at least attempting to. The pictures come out looking like a fat old guy who can barely move. I think it would be even worse if it were a video. And maybe I am a fat old guy who can barely move. But it feels like I’m doing something while I’m doing it.
I tend not to buy the race pictures. Why mess up a good memory?
