The BFG on an early morning run?
Great pic.
Something like that. I’m in training for a half-marathon at the end of June….
With legs like that two strides should do it.
Great picture. I have also been into shadows this week. Though your shadow makes our family look relatively normal… which is quite a feat!
That was taken one evening this week, I was quite stunned how stretched my shadow was! I’m only 4’2″ (Not really, 6’6″ actually)
Oh that’s quite clever and funny at the same time. Good luck with the marathon 🙂
Thank you! I think it’s about 7 weeks away now. That’s scary close!
You’re running a marathon on stilts?!
Seriously, good luck! I’m in awe of anyone who runs any kind of distance, and a marathon is just unthinkable!
Half-marathon. HALF-marathon!!! Even with my legs the thought of a marathon fills me with dread. Still, there’s talk of them having one up here around the middle of September. If they’ll let us do it as a relay, maybe teams of 3, I’d consider it.
Fab pic 🙂
