The positive thing I did for myself today was buy race photos from yesterday’s fun run.

In my giant sample of three, this was first run I’ve been in where photos have been taken and I was dithering about pulling the trigger because they weren’t exactly cheap.

But I couldn’t resist, they were all pretty great. I had expected to be pulling faces or in flailing about, but I almost look like a proper runner!

Cropped highlights from about 4km in:

arm muscles? who knew?

i really do appear to be enjoying myself

A very good reminder that I currently look pretty good! And that I need to maintain my newly found running groove.

Official results? 3 minutes better than any time I’ve run this year. 30 seconds faster than my fastest ever 5km – back in April 2013!
