Flickr is the coolest photo application ever.
I've just been browsing the Flickr show of photos tagged "marathon". Some of these pictures are truly beautiful: an elite Kalenjin runner blurs by; adult-onset athletes hold their finisher medals to the camera.

Good morning! Through the magic of blog jumping, here I am. I am one of those "I'll NEVER be a runner" runners.
Your posts made me smile, particularly the one about injuring the upper body...LMAO......I am the klutziest, least graceful runner on the planet. But it's better than having a couch-shaped hiney!!
Ah, another klutz! Welcome, sister! I'm always covered with bruises from bumping into furniture, even when I'm not grating my flesh against the road. Good to know I'm not the only one!
