C'mon - don't be shy!!

We are all friends here - lets see some pics of your running experiences. Just to make sure that newbies coming here don't think that we are all highly trained and toned athletes

[ju-ju- Graduate]

Well said, and we are certainly not that and this forum would be rather dull if we were

[GoogleMe Graduate]

Aside from the technical block that has seen me unable to upload photos, I wonder... I enjoy seeing photos of other people of all shapes and sizes running but it is how it makes us *feel* that we need to convey surely?

In my daily life, and when I run, the way I feel is at odds with any photographic images - and the way I feel, the picture in my head is infinitely better and encouraging.

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

It doesn't have to be a pic of you - perhaps somewhere you have been running?

[AncientMum Graduate]

Hehe I could post a video of me limping along, crutch in hand, but I don't think it would inspire anyone (except perhaps Long John Silver) Great idea though Bazza

[Toonlou24 Graduate]

Great idea! I shall have a lookie!!!

Here is where I ran my Parkrun over Easter goo.gl/maps/0u8WL The roadside path actually goes to the top of the hill with the lighthouse on top - dont think you can see it in Google Street view as the Google car wouldn't have been able to get further than the carpark - but it can be seen in Google maps by exiting Google Street view.

One of the people in this photo is me - the blurriness gives the false impression that we are moving really fast lol

Unfortunately you can only put a photo in a new 'post' not a reply so here is a link s1014.photobucket.com/user/...

I don't have any running pictures yet

Will post when I get some though.

So this is where I can run when I step out of the house:

(said house is about halfway between the names "Ballyoughtera" and Lahernathee, in case you pass by come and say hello!!)

Nice to see you and it looks absolutely lovely where you are xxx

[Pigivi in reply to poppypug]

Thanks Poppy, it is a gorgeous place...

I should have added that I still cannot run to the top of the hill maybe one day...

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Pigivi]

Ha ha its there to be conquered , one day Pigivi, one day xxx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to Pigivi]

Such lovely pictures

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

Great idea Bazza, I'm so enjoying seeing everyone! I do have a little video from last year, still working out how to get it here doh!

We got to run around Longleat on Friday, awesome day for it, warm sun with a cool breeze.We weren't chased by any wild animals, but BIG hills though! Pics here- plus.google.com/photos/1014...

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to eviljoe]

Very interesting! You were obviously kitted up and planning to run at Longleat -- do they allow/permit that there ? Probablt , a silly question I know - just that I have been to a number of British great houses ( in years past) and would never have thought to get a run in. It is a great idea however - and probably the only way to get to see some of the grounds.

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

You have to run to escape the lions....

I'll get me coat..
