Okay, I promise this will be the last CIM post (at least this week – HA!) No really, as thrilled, excited and hyper as I still am, it’s time to move on to other topics. Soon, I promise. But before I move on, I need to reiterate how friggen HAPPY this race made me! You know how I can prove it? Race photos, baby! Check these out:
Early on – I don’t remember the exact mileage, but you can see how perky all the other runners still are.
Somewhere later in the day. I remember noticing the photographers and smiling, but I’m not sure where they were on the course.
That chicken wing look really works for me, no? The other runners around me are starting to look a little droopy.
My favorite part of this picture is how completely trashed the other two girls look.
Best. Day. Ever.
I don’t usually purchase race photos because I’m not a big fan of forking out twenty bucks for a single 3.5×5 photo, but I honestly considered buying the lot of these (at close to $100, I refrained). Of the seven or eight pics taken, there’s only one where I’ve got that awkward landing-foot thing going on and I’ve got a huge smile in all of them. My only real complaint is that the finish line photo doesn’t include the clock. I ended up purchasing the finish photo anyway, and yes, I’m paying extra to have the CIM logo and my finish time printed on it (and I cropped out those other girls). I’m such a sucker.
I hope your weekend finds you smiling, friends!
Awesome pictures!
You’re so photogenic when you run! I’m impressed!
Those are awesome race photos! Congrats!
I’m so glad you found the key for a good race but it’s really selfish of you to use up the good-foto-karma for all of us in just one race. You know there’s only so many good race photos that can be taken each year and I think you used the allotment for ALL of us!
Awesome pics!
Yay! Those pictures say a lot about your day!
Woot for great races and great pics!
I never look good like this in race photos
Great pics! And you are right! Those other girls do look trashed. You should have kept them in your photo to remind you of how great you felt that day! 🙂
You look awesome–no chicken wings in sight!
Great photos! Rock on girl!
Absolutely RAD!
I love your pics.
Your face says it all- triumph!
I always thought it was impossible to smile in each and every race photo. You are making us all look bad now. Great work!
xoxo,

Great photos! You had to buy one and the extra stuff is necessary! Those other women must have run more miles as you look so fresh and they so don’t!
After such an awesome race you DESERVE as many posts and overpriced photos as you want! Keep sharing your excitement. They’ve all been so fun to read!
That first pic you are leading the marathon?
D
Did you ever stop smiling? You look so happy in every single one.
awesome photos! love the skirt =)
Awesome photos!! Congrats congrats!! Sorry I am late on the congrats!! 🙂 🙂
You HAD to buy at least one of those…I’d have splurged for the lot! You look awesome in each and every one of them 🙂 🙂 Made me smile.
Those photos tell the story. Happy day from start to finish.
Great pics. I don’t like the Clock in the finishing line pic cuz unless you are really at the front of the pack at the start, the clock always shows a slower time than actual.
hi;-)
love that you did this marathon!
Do we live by each other? I’m in the North Bay Area…;-0
You look like you could run another marathon! Happy pics!
