In the olden days...

Brownie Reflex 1940-1952

...people had to walk to school, bare footed, in the snow, up hill, both ways. All while actually having to use a film camera.

K-1000

This is my very first camera. This is the camera that got it all started. My parents gave it to me on my 16th 17th birthday. I didn't go anywhere without it for nearly two years. Other cameras have come and gone since I stopped using this one but I won't be parting with it anytime soon. They really don't make 'em like they used to.

You Can't Fix Stupid.

Someone used this bill as payment at the bingo hall recently. Not even sure what it really means, but it made me laugh.

Training sucks.

This is the face of marathon training.

I am nearly seven months into my marathon training now. The transformation from not being able to run a whole mile to 26.2 miles is nearly complete. I have averaged anywhere between 15 and 30 miles a week for most of this time and I have run somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 miles this year. After all this, I still hate running. Well at least for the first twenty minutes or so and then I don't mind so much.
