No run, just wanted to post a couple pictures.  Mine are always terrible, which I love, and this was no exception.

 

Sometime in the first half:

 

Around mile 15 - at least I was still running the tangents correctly!

 

Best picture ever - I didn't even notice that guy during the race, was just trying to get a clear path to the finish line among the half-marathoners.  Wish I looked half as happy as he does!

Too bad they didn't have a separate finish area for the marathoners! Good photos, although these pictures make you look different than your profile picture...weird!

I always look like I'm being tortured. No one on the blog would recognize me in real life unless they punched me in the stomach first.

Nice pics!

Nice pics. Looks like you got beat by that large guy in black? (Just kidding, amazing that the marathoners have to finish with the back of the pack half marathoners. Or did they start earlier?)

From I Just Run on Fri, May 04, 2012 at 08:54:44 from 67.79.11.242

For a minute I wasn't sure which one was you :-)

From DaleG on Fri, May 04, 2012 at 10:01:26 from 71.199.57.238

Cool pics. Hey, at least you beat that guy across the line.

From SlowJoe on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 07:09:12 from 74.197.86.254

Flat - no, the races start together. We run the same course for miles 1-7, and then the marathon course joins with the half course again for the last 5 miles. They were mostly all walking for the last 5 miles, making it somwehat easier to find gaps, but they all ran that last 0.1!

Awesome pics! I did not enjoy rejoining the crowd of half marathoners in my marathon. You're killing me with the comment on being tortured. I'll remember the stomach punch trick if I see you at a race and I'm not sure it's actually you...LOL.

You look like an alien in that first picture. No, you look like Sigourney Weaver.

From SlowJoe on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 10:53:29 from 74.197.86.254

Daniel - works every time

Burt - Sigourney Weaver now, or Sigourney Weaver 1988? Please say 1988...

From Burt on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 11:02:38 from 72.223.82.180

Oh, definitely post-cosmetic surgery:
