Shane / HCS Women's Distance Festival 5K

Shane, aka NEEDLE-NOSE. The Sheltie next-door.

There goes the Pack, leaving slow wimpy-gimpy me far behind in the 5k

It was a LONG 5k for gimpy-wimpy gal. They all are nowadays.

But there were some pretty visions en route for Second-Hand Rose, my "new" not-so-new camera.

And I got to spend a little time with MY TEAM. :-)

Will I EVER be able to RUN again?

There is macro beauty everywhere...
all it takes is a photographer with a camera & the lens to CAPTURE it

Interim

MY camera is BROKEN.

Not totally DEAD, but TOTALLY disabled.

So ...

no new pics until the replacement camera is obtained.

~sigh~

Under camera-possessing circumstances I would be uploading 4th of July fireworks pics today (because my little bay town does it's fireworks on the 3rd of July) but I can't, because I took none last night. :-(

So here's a shot or so from my photo files. Not perhaps the most inspired choices, but I have things I'd like to do today OTHER than sit in front of this time-snitching PC.

Just to keep my little photographer's spirits up.

Run for Roses

My friend Christina is the Race Director! :-)

I was a race morning registration volunteer, and then walked the 5k. I was NOT last, but I came CLOSE!

Pretty cute, eh?

Today I feel like I should live here

Blue Moon Run

Imagine this:

A white limestone rails-to-trails path north of Baltimore.

June 1, 10 pm.

Nearly 500 runners wearing glowsticks to avoid collision.

The only other light is the light from the full moon, clouded over on this Friday night, but creating a bright diffused lightness to the sky.

"How long was your marathon?"

Cincinnati's FLYING PIG Marathon





My "marathon" was about 1.1 miles OUT,
then about 1.1 miles BACK.
