The photos...

Even in my short time of interacting with runners, I know it's a common complaint that it seems they never take good race photos.  And, yeah, most of the pics of me from the marathon are, you know, nothing I'd pay money for a copy of.  Either I look like I'm in pain, homicidal, really flabby, or like I just tripped on something.  There's one pretty decent pic where I'm not only running but actually looking up and not glaring or grimacing.  I might get a print of that one.  And shadowy under-eye circles be damned, I do like the pic of me right after I got my medal, even if the medal is turned backwards.  But I'm going to go ahead and put all the pics that I stole from the photo site (thus the watermarks) up here just because it really is an accurate depiction of how I felt the last half of the race.
