I love the first one too! You look so settled and the water in the background really sets it off! <br /><br />I once called my friend at mile 18 from my phone for moral support. I cried and then kept running. It was good to hear the voice of my training partner when I needed it! :)Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-81620850033153521092012-07-18T08:39:42.472-06:002012-07-18T08:39:42.472-06:00THUMBS UP! Great photos. Mine are usually of me looking very tired. I found out that I run with my mouth open and my right pinky sticking out. Weird. Hey, whatever gets it done!

The first one is quite lovely with the scenery in the background. I don&#39;t see where you are struggling in any of the photos, you look like a determined focused athlete in all of them :)Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-16556613711848616682012-07-16T11:33:50.865-06:002012-07-16T11:33:50.865-06:00Great pics, the cell phone one is hilarious, lol. Funny about the fingers curled thing, I think I do the same thing I realize. Maybe it&#39;s a runner thing or just a habit? I didn&#39;t know that I did that either til I saw myself in photos doing it in almost every one. <br /><br />And it is hard to view pics of when you are struggling, though running isn&#39;t always pretty. Even the elites sometimes have trouble and break down - one example I think of is Paula Radcliffe in the 2004 Olympic Marathon, she seemed dehydrated, and dropped out at mile 20 or so.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-79732085561582240382012-07-16T10:58:32.023-06:002012-07-16T10:58:32.023-06:00Never talked on the phone during a race but I&#39;ve done it on other runs.
