some pictures from a professional

Liz went out with a friend of a friend who's a professional photographer, who of course happened to have a camera with him when they met up with us later, so we had a photo shoot at the Fox and the Hound. (They went out to a nice restaurant in Philly, and I took Marshall to Maggiano's for his birthday which is why we're dressed up and Lisa isn't.)

ING Distance Run

Amanda and I did another half marathon this morning. I was doing really well until mile 9 when I think I strained something in my ankle. I still managed to finish a little over 10 seconds faster than last time. My time in Pittsburgh was 3:23:50, and today it was 3:23:38.

We had perfect weather today. It was beautiful, sunny, and only in the 70s. I liked the Pittsbrugh race more though, because there were spectators cheering along the entire course, and here there weren't many.

Other than my ankle, and a cramp that I got in the car on the way home, I feel much better than I did after the last race :)
