Graphics Genius



Here's an excellent example of graphic arts being used to promote an event. Look at the picture above and try to determine which marathon it is promoting.

You are going to bonk yourself on the forehead when I tell you.


Loch Ness Marathon


I won't be running this event in the near future but Thomas in Ireland will be in October.

I will be attempting a 100K run this weekend on Saturday at the 12 Hour Watershed Run in Redmond. Steve Stoyles will also be running. Sunday Michelle and I will be heading down to Olympia our state capitol to cheer for the folks we know running the Capitol City Marathon.

Have a great weekend of running!

Finish at Tacoma Marathon

I am not sure if Washington is the perfect state for your running group because it has so many races, or if it's your group that forced the state to organize all the races, so you could have your playing ground, thus making Washington what it is.

Ha - I thought it was that crazy race in Africa with all the hills - I'm not that imaginitive. :)

I love the pic of your finish - you always have the best smile for the camera. I often look like I'm dying. =)

Enjoy Watershed, it's a bonus you have great company to run with.

I thought it was the race profile for Western starting on the right.

Wendy, It's nort easy, but I'll try to get a picture of Eric NOT smilling at the 12 hour run.

Have fun breaking 62 at 12 hrs! It's worth the confidence booster!

That graphic is brilliant, isn't it? I love it.

Good luck with the 100k, but after you recent exploits I would have expected you to run the marathon the day after.

Bruce said...

Creative picture all right. Have fun at the 100k, hope you the finish as much as you did at Tacoma.

Darrell said...

So many cool marathons, so few weekends.

Have a great long run tomorrow.

That is so cool! You've got to wonder who thinks of things like that.

You're looking quite cheerful for the end of a marathon. You must be an ultra runner. ;)
