I'll have to see how my $$$ are this summer. As usual, my gypsy feet want to go in ten different directions this summer. However, this *is* one of the best-looking goals.

And it would be so great to meet you and everyone! :D

These pictures are not running related but taken while cycling across Canada. (except for the triathlon picture.) Consider them Dark-sider pictures.

I have a good one in my race report. Can you get it? I am not so good with this stuff...
I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.

LOL -- I particularly like this one, Ken. It should definitely be included in your collection, Holly. :D

Great idea Holly. I hope I am not too late submitting mine.

Awesome photos! I love the action and facial expression shots.

My brother shot this of me at the Montreal Half. I was near the back but you wouldn't believe it from this photo. I love this photo because it captures my excitement and determination (at the starting line!) and that of my many "running friends"

Wow, so many nice photos.... Sherry, yours is so neat.... Your brother did a great job!!

Larochelle, I have to show my elderly neighbour the one of you at the Tri in Val d'Or, as she used to live there. I think I will skip over your peeing one though!! :lol: And the bathing suit one. Don't know if her heart could take those two!! :shock:

There are some great pics in there! Sherry, yours is great, but I also love the one of Lisa in Mexico! The pictures from the maritime contingent with all the oranger RM shirts are great too!

Jane, you and your daughter look fantastic, what a great thing that she is running with you!

Can't wait to see what you're doing with them Holly!

I hate 95% of my pics, but these have sentimental value to me.

This is the original pic of my avatar and by far my favorite race pic (should not be included in "promotional" material because copyrights issues.
Image

2005 NCM Half--Sweaty but happy. Being there was by itself a big accomplishment. Twelve weeks before, I was doing 1:1s. (As above, should not be used for "promotional" material")
Image


My husband said that it didn't show, but I was suffering...I didn't want to look like I was going to collapse in front of my husband and daughters.

Image

As sweet moment--seeing my husband and daughters 2-3 minutes before the finish line at Wineglass and knowing that the BQ in the bag.

I run because it's fun.

Edith, those are awesome! I think you should order them- that way we could post them AND you could have those great pics to remember your races. I especially love the one of you with your NCM medal.

Thanks Lisa! To clarify, I purchased the first two (there I am not sure about the copyrights limitations), and the last two were taken by my husband.

you know Nick, as I look over your pix from coast to coast, I can't help but to think it... so I'll say it.

Indeed! I don't think I've ever actually read how many races Nick has done, so in my mind it's some huge, mythical number. Over 100?
