Go! St. Louis Marathon professional photos

Here are the professional photos. I've never had so many of them before in a race. I thought it was cool that in the 13th mile of St. Jude I got one of me but this race so many more options! :-) You guys are going to have to help me pick which one of the finish line to buy. There's 2 views.

First though, remember my Karma of the 5k and how I ran past that couple with their hands held high?
But luckily they were able to still get one by themselves. :-)

And so now to the Marathon itself.

Looks like these are in Forest Park:



Again in Forest Park but more alone so it was on the way back.

This is nearing the finish. Notice how I'm without camera and water bottle??
I actually kinda like these, especially the second one. Also in the second one, you can see the outline of my cell phone in my bra.

Now for the Finish Line pictures. 2 pictures in 2 different views. I have a favourite but don't know if it's the one I should pick to put in a frame.


The 3rd one in this set is my favourite. The one from St. Jude is from the side, not the top, I like how my hair is all moving so it looks like I'm running. These photos were taken at different times because the first 2 I'm before the mat, the second 2 I'm after the mat.

Oh and as you can see the guy stayed behind me! :-)

Now the final photo (which I wish now I would have posed for)
You can see how drenched my shorts are!!

So there ya have it. That should be the *last* final post of the Go! St. Louis Marathon. Leave me a comment with which picture(s) I should buy. I'm not going to do the big frame thing like I'm thinking of with my first (even though now my first is my worst but it's still my first and no one forgets their first!!) but there's this option from runphotos.com: Medal Box with Picture. I'm sure I can find something like that at Michael's right?? I'm not good at crafty type stuff. That's why I'm totally jealous of Erin's awesome scrapbook of her races.

I love the second to last one - your triumphant cross of the finish line! You take great race photos!

And I am so happy to see karma isn't going to get you ;)

You can totally get a kit like that at Michael's or Hobby Lobby!

Sweet! Thanks for the info! I'll have to hit up Michael's after my 1pm movie and see what I can find! Their website doesn't show much. And there's a Hobby Lobby in Rockford so I can head up tomorrow to check it out!

I love the second to last one, too!

Also, I am SOOOOO jealous of how good your photos are. So, so jealous.

I picked up a shadow box frame at Michael's today for my medal. Since I don't have a finish line picture I'm going to put my finisher's certificate in it instead.

You should post a picture of the shadow box. So I can steal the idea (cause even though I majored in art, I'm not crafty!!). :-) I looked there yesterday but didn't see anything that would work.

All these pretty much rock! I like the 2nd to last or 4th from last one.
