April 25, 2009. I registered for this 5k run, and then I found out the paper wanted a photographer to cover it. I’m the only tog available on Saturdays (and we’re trying to cut down on stringers), so I brought along the D3 and fired off a few running Hail Marys from the starting line. I shoot a lot of Hail Marys – it’s just my style – but running while doing it was a first. People got a kick out of it, too.

I think my time ended up being a little over 29 minutes. I’d say that isn’t too shabby for a recovering couch potato who smoked like a Virginia Ham.

    Yay! That means you can probably run a 10K in under an hour. My best time has been 1:07. SO FAR, that is.
