hands that grab and hands straight and pointed to reduce drag
superman
there were lots of people in fancy dress at the half marathon yesterday
i liked this guy's subtle costume
i'll post a load of photos of some of the other fancy dressers over the next week or so

me running off in a forest
i set the camera on timer and then ran off in to the forest whilst flapping like a bird. esther (and many others) were confused
jane's first race
jane did her first 10K race yesterday in preparation for the Windsor half marathon later this year. she did terrific and we were all very proud.
as this was really part of her bigger training for September, she tried various different techniques including this one, of running with her arms out like she was going to tickle the other competitors. she'll do anything to give herself the edge over her competitors.
