New heights of narcissism

I’ve looked at near­ly 6500 pho­tos from Run Hit Won­der try­ing to find one where I can be seen. Appar­ent­ly there aren’t any with my race num­ber vis­i­ble, as search­ing on my race num­ber does­n’t help. But I’m still look­ing, hop­ing that I’ll show up in the back­ground of some­one else’s photo.

There’s only one pic­ture I found so far. At the begin­ning of the race I set the timer on my phone so that I would have some idea what my time was. So it’s this pic­ture of me look­ing down and did­dling with my cell­phone. Xris has already come up with a cap­tion for it:

“I know I’m sup­posed to be run­ning, but let me check my blog.”

    Ahhh, so those were the nifty shirts they promised all the run­ners! I’m glad you got to race in the park… it’s such a great course. You have pock­ets in your shorts? I can nev­er car­ry around any­thing when I run, except my car keys… and even those are annoying.

    Yeah, I have a zip-pock­et in the back of my shorts. I was also wear­ing a fan­ny­pack with wal­let and Palm in it. Keep in mind that I was trav­el­ing in a (rel­a­tive­ly) strange city; took my lug­gage, but I need­ed a few things just to get around and I did­n’t want to leave them at the bag check area; I’ve seen the secu­ri­ty at those things before and the assump­tion seems to be that if you have a race num­ber on that you’re trust­wor­thy. So all I stashed was my change of cloth­ing, and I kept valu­ables (cell­phone, wal­let, Palm) on my person.

    Since I was 3000 miles away from any­thing my keys wouldd open, I left those in my lug­gage with Xris.

    The shirt is great, actu­al­ly. That Dri-Fit stuff is faboo.
