Winter Cross Country Series 8k, 2009. I refer to this pose as “The John McCain Monster.”

Overton Park 5-miler, 2009. This was the first time in a year I’d run 5 miles start to finish. My feelings of victory were brutalized when I saw what 5 miles looked like on me.

Women’s Run 5k, 2008. For years (2007 - 2009), I used to focus on smiling every time I saw a photographer on a race course. I should have been focusing on not looking like an idiot.
