Running sub-5-minute miles! Wow! |

How To Make A Statement: Lesson 1 |
How can anyone be this happy and look so good after running 18 miles??? Amazing! |

Fantastic Attitude 101: Or, "How to run a marathon with serious style!" Nice! |
|
|
|
|
These guys blew me away. It is already hot as heck, and they are running in foam beer bottle costumes! |
I give them 25 Unofficial Style Points, and a recommendation that 10 minutes be taken off of their finishing times... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10 Unofficial Style Points granted for making it look so darn easy! |
|
|
|
There are Style Points here, undetermined... |

When you look good and fire a look like this at the photographer, you are getting your photo taken! |
|

This enthusiastic runner flagged me down early enough that I shot this photo and quickly put my camera down and took her photo with her own camera in front of all the Elvi! Nice! |
|
|
|
|
|
Seriously, how can 18 miles of running make you this happy??? Apparently it does! Very nice! Twenty Bonus Points for Happiness!!! |
|
|

My Buddy, Matt Kohlhaas, looking good! |
Thumb Up, indeed! Way to go, Matt! |
|
|
Matt going away! |
|
|
|
|
|
Twenty Unofficial Points for Happiness! Five Bonus Points for the genuine smile! |
Looks like he just started a 5K, man!
Very nice!

The possible winner for Happiest Runner in my gallery of runner photos! |

I'm not sure what this symbol is she flashed, but I know it isn't a bad thing, and she is obviously running very well! |

|
|
Not everyone gets to slap-hands with Elvis when they run a marathon! |
|
|
|
|
I see that many runners Sharpie'd their name on their arm. Is their last name on the other arm? Was that for just-in-case you fell down face-first somewhere and the paramedics could call you by your first name??? I'll have to ask about this... |
|

|
Slappin' hands with a row of Elvis! |
Slappin' hands with a row of Elvis! They would run out of their track lanes to do this! Fabulous! |

|
Congrats on just finishing this marathon, Matt & Arnie! And way to go both on finishing with pretty nice times.
|
| I never got a photo of the lovely Tara Schoedinger (foreground), besides the back of your head! Sorry, Tara! I'll take a nice and flattering photo of you next time, I promise. I see Dave has a boot in his mouth in this photo, LOL! |
