Another reason the Frozen Zucchini Snowshoe Adventure (5K) (hosted by Smart Farm) is/was completely awesome? They had a photographer there, who seems to be providing the photos for FREE online. WHO DOES THAT? Awesomeness!
Have you ever ordered photos from a race? Do you usually ask a friend or family member to take photos?
I ordered the Chicago Marathon pictures and one picture from the Rotary Santa Run (5K), but usually I just rely on Steven or my parents to take photos.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and work in an account management role. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
That is awesome! And you are adorable in all those pictures!
Thanks Kim!
I love how you “ham it up” for the pictures!
Yeah. No shame. I am a poser!
So far I’ve been pretty lucky to have friends around to take a few snapshots… which I am always thankful for!!!
That’s a great race shot!
Thanks!
You look like you’re having so much fun! And that’s great the the photos are available. More races should have photographers and offer photos for cheap/free.
I was. I will have even more fun next year when YOU run with me!!! 🙂
I think more races should do that too. If I was a good photographer I would go to races and take photos! I think that is fun.
I love these pics! You look so happy and pretty! 🙂
Aww, thanks Kate! 🙂
Want to go snowshoeing together? I just got an email from my local running store – they rent them for $15.
All the races I do through my hometown (where my parents live) running club they always have a photographer who posts the photos online for free! I also did a low key race here in the ‘burbs and they did the same. I LOVE free race photos. But mine are never as good as yours! You have such a gorgeous smile and it looks like you were having so much fun in the race.
Oh yeah! I forgot you mentioned that! Hey, speaking of races, don’t you have one coming up soon?
Aww, you are too sweet. Thank you 🙂 But you look fab in your photos too. I love seeing them, post more!!! (and not just race ones!)
That is awesome! I wish every race had free photography! I look awful in all my pictures though.
No you don’t! 😛 I really liked that photo of you on the ski lift 🙂
these are GREAT pictures!!!!
Thanks 🙂
Those are great…and for Free?? Even better! You look so cute and happy. Someone should give that photographer a gold star.
Thanks Mica 🙂
Great photos. Are they on the race site? I remember the person taking photos. Only time I ordered those “pro” shots was after my first marathon many moons ago (OK 93), expensive but my mother loved the one I sent her. Now with digital cameras and Facebook who needs them LOL
Here’s where the photos are – http://gallery.me.com/photobylee#102861. They were sent out in an email yesterday!
Which marathon was your first?
love those pictures, Kim! Especially the first one – you look great!!
Thanks Gina 🙂
Oh my gosh, this looks awesome! I can only dream of doing that living here in Florida. SO neat! And the pictures are great. Can’t believe they are free!!!
I especially like the top “action” shot – you look pretty in purple!
I think you would run faster without those big things on your feet, though (says the Southerner).
Thanks!
Ha ha. And I do run a bit faster without those things on 😉
