Photo of the Week: Go ahead & Jump! »

This photo was taken at the Calgary Roadrunners Confederation Park XC Relay Race. The race is run in teams of 3 with each runner completing about a 3.5k loop that includes two creek crossings. It’s always fun to watch each runner attempt the last crossing. Spectators yell out scores and boo those that don’t make [...]

Photo of the Week: Just a little crowded, eh »

This upcoming weekend I’m busy coordinating the volunteers for Calgary’s first Ironman 70.3 so I decided it was time to once again feature an Ironman photo. The above photo is from the 2008 Lake Placid Ironman. It amazes me how anyone can swim any distance in such crowded waters. For sure a few have taken [...]

Photo of the Week: Runners Along the Water »

Running along the water’s edge almost always creates a cool photo. The reflection in this photo is so clear it almost appears as if you have a twin running upside down below you. From my email: Dawn, I would be very happy to have you use my photo of runners along the water. Please credit [...]

Well here in Calgary I had hoped snowy runs were a thing of the past but that was just wishful thinking on my part as several inches fell upon us yesterday. Now today’s featured photo is not a scene from Calgary but a wintery run in Boston.

Photo of the Week: Shower anyone? »

Do you shower right after a long hot run? I know I rather enjoy one. A marathon is probably one of the few places where wet t-shirts are common place.

Photo of the Week: Time Check »

The caption on this photo says the runner has stopped to check the time. What caught my eye was the color of the photo and despite the piles of snow the runner is decked in shorts.

Photo of the Week: Hello??? »

This weeks photo was published by a friend, Jeff Da Runner, on Facebook in his “What the H— is She Doing” album and gathered a number of comments from runners who thought the lady on the cell phone was committing a big “No No”. So what do you think? It’s one thing to bring a [...]

Photo of the Week: Anyone Got a Shovel? »

Welcome to 2009! I hope you all had a good holiday season and are ready for a new year. I’m not sure even a shovel would have helped the runners on this race course. Saturday was the Nose Creek XC race in Calgary. We’ve had a lot of snow and well, try as I might, [...]

Photo of the Week: Winter Running »

I thought it only fitting to find a winter photo to go along with Ian’s “Cold Weather Running“. I, for one, enjoy running in the winter and have been known to run in temperatures colder then -25C, that’s -13F for those not on the metric system. I don’t remember how cold it was when I [...]
