run fugly

I’m not normally a fan of marketing people, and I have a natural tendency to dislike Nike, but whoever it was who invented the term “run yourself ugly” was some sort of minor genius.
Proof:
There are worse out there, but blogger, quite sensibly, refused to touch them with a barge pole.
There is video too of me crossing the finishing line (available from the herald sun website) and it’s quite amusing. You see me sort of veer off to the left of screen after I finish, in a slow-motion collapse. That’s quite an apt way to describe the rest of Sunday, actually.
Looking at the evidence presented so far, all these digital “enhancements” of the running experience are decidedly a mixed blessing.



Ahh, I win, mine is worse, like my recent spring into shape race photo it would seem that the camera adds about 10Kgs
awwwww..you look ok..in fact you look pretty damn fresh..why are you looking MORE tired
That is a great photo!
I’d be very proud of it - especially that time in the bottom corner.
I’m betting you’ll be buying one of the digital images!
