I've been wanting to try this out... take pictures of myself running. I couldn't really figure out how to do it outside, but since I do most of my running on the treadmill these days I decided to just go with that. I used a tripod and my 18-55 lens (which is my worst lens, but the only thing that would work for this situation) and tried a couple different angles. I think my favorites are the ones showing my feet moving... they look so fast!

| Walking and hydrating to start off. |
 |
| Light jogging for 10 minutes. |
 |
| Usually in the middle of a treadmill workout I do what I call "sprints and recovery" It basically means I run as fast as I can for 2 minutes, then I jog for 2 minutes. Repeat a few times. I'm sure there's some technical running term for this (or better method), but I don't know what it is and this works for me. At the moment, my fastest sprint speed in 8.0 mph |
 |
| Running hard. |
 |
| "you've never seen my feet 'cause they move so fast" |
 |
| Breathing and staying focused (me... not the camera apparently) |
 |
| Slow part of my sprint running.... also, my view from the treadmill. I used to face a blank wall... that was torture. This way I can at least look outside and see the squirrels burying their nuts in the backyard. Also I get motivated to tap into my inner Hulk Strength when I need a little extra push. |
 |
| Walking to cool down with my life-line still on. Do other people actually use this? I find it super annoying because I knock it out with my hand a lot and then all my info from my current run disappears... however, I'm terrified that if I don't use it I'll trip, fall, knock my head on something and black out, and the treadmill will keep going and I'll wind up getting rubbed down to the bone. So I wear it. |

| Sweating and splotchy after picture. |
