I promise not to go on too much about my running and/or diet here.
However, I thought these photos told the story of Sunday’s Great Eastern Run half marathon rather well. I’m tempted to make one my new twitter profile pic.
I look so devilishly handsome and smooth in all of them, it’s hard to tell which one is best. (in case you were wondering, the race was great. Really enjoyed it, all pictoral evidence to the contrary aside)
Miles 2, 6, 11 and 13.1, I believe
Nice work Hopi, I’m currently training for the Norwich half marathon at the end of November so I’m always happy to read unashamed running posts.
Really? I’m doing that one too – (On the 27th, I think)
What time are you hoping for?
Think I got around 1:53 when I did it a couple of years ago, hoping to do a bit better this time round, something in the region of 1:48 or thereabouts.
If I spot you, I’ll be sure to say hi.
Well, I’ll be behind you! Did it in (I think) 2007 in 2h 16m. Though fact I did Pboro in 1h58 suggests I might improve on that, esp if I lose last stone between now and race day. Mind you Pbroro even flatter & less cold/windy than Norwich likely to be
That could also be the progress of a hot date .
Pic 1 …. Hi babe..shall we go in, I hope you like it spicy !
Pic 2 ….I`ll get the bill , sugar ..( Jesus is that in Dracma ?)
Pics 3 Oh mama
and 4 …. doesn’t bear thinking about
Can’t stop laughing at these photos – number three is hilarious, while number two looks bizarrely serene, like a robots face or something.
Your hair is also a lot spikier than I thought too. No idea what I thought your hair was like mind.
I find 3 hilarious too. Checking again, think it was taken during the sprint to the finish, when I was giving it everything to make sure I got under 2 hrs. It’s a real URRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH face.
(I actually didn’t need to sprint to get under 2 hrs, but I didn’t know that then)
As for the hair, it is fairly bouffant naturally but gets much more spiky during a run, for obvious reasons. I keep meaning to make a short haircut part of my pre run routine. It’ll save literally ounces and look way better.
Never sexier.
Damn the fact there are two ways of reading that statement…
For what it’s worth Hopi, I like the first photo, i.e. the one on the left.
I’m a little surprised you haven’t got Alastair Campbell included on your Blogroll. What with him being a fellow Labour Party supporter. Any reason for that ommision I wonder?
No, just forgetfulness – haven’t really updated the blogroll since moving over.
Keep up the running posts Hopi, they’re very popular. I wrote one for my big and its the only one that anyone ever reads!
