it ain’t pretty, but…

Posted on March 28, 2008 by JH

I could never be bothered shaving on the morning of a race. There doesn’t seem any point making myself presentable. I mean, look at this, from Monday’s run…

Sri Chinmoy race 1

No amount of shaving’s going to make that look good! The photographers at SC races normally make a point of looking elsewhere when I approach. I applaud their sturdy common sense, in that regard. However, they must have had some new guys on last weekend. I’m all over the place:

Sri Chinmoy 2

and yet again…

Sri Chinmoy 3

Incidentally - it looks like I came 7th in the 10km. See the SC results page. That’s gratifying, especially when I felt so down about the result, post race.

Running
I ran last night around my local streets - 13km. No big deal. Just a run.

Comments
The “Akismet” spam filter thingamajig that wordpress uses seems to have taken a dislike to AJH and Em recently. I can’t think why. Possibly it knows something I don’t.

I think I’ve un-spammed you guys now, but I can’t be sure.

    Couldn’t be bothered shaving where? Face? Legs? Bikini line?

    You’re a fine looking chap John, particularly in that last shot, is that your coy come hither look?

    I’m not sure if it was you, but I have been un-spammed - thanks if it was you!

    And a very coy little smile in that third phot, was the person holding the camera a cute little girl or something?

    Wow, that is quite a “come hither” look you have there! So coy, and yet still like you are taking the pi$$ out of someone who is trying to be debonair. Try a bit of blue steel next time for us, work it JRuns!

    Yes Andrew - it was me who un-spammed you. Feel free to write rude comments about Demi Moore to your heart’s content.

    The story behind the photos:

    “must get to the end before I fall over”
    “ahah! you may be tall but I’m going to overtake you”
    “if I make a funny face maybe you won’t notice all the sweat running down my shirt”….

    Em - I could show you my bikini line, but it would put you off sex, or for that matter all human contact, FOREVER.
