4/4/08 - POTD - Spring

Here's a sure sign of Spring. . . muddy running sneakers! Finally was able to get out on the roads and get a few miles in. DD went with me too. The plan is for her to run in a few 5K races with me. She can handle a mile, no problem, but today we ran 2 and she had a little bit of trouble getting back. I think she did great though considering she's only 9 and it's her first year. She just needs to learn to pace herself instead of worrying about beating mom!

Had to try out one of Leah's textures - I can't wait to get out and shoot more so I can play with these.
I like the color version of this one with the field in the background for some reason.

I like the third one with the horizon there. Makes you feel like those shoes have places to go!

pat said...

I like the B&W, but the third one with the color is my favorite. The warm color of the field really balances the blue in the shoes. Those mud ridges are awesome.

Jason said...

Kristina said...

I love the shoes next to the muddy tire track. And I SO wish I was a good jogger. Heck, I wish I was a good exercising at all! :P I think it's awesome that you and your dd share such a great activity!! (Sorry. . . I spelled a word wrong and had to delete my previous post. It just looked weird! lol)

I can't wait for my shoes to look like that. As soon as all this ice melts on the road I am so ditching my buddy the treadmill! Its so great that you were able to get out and I love Leah's texture.

I love the textured shot! I can't run for anything lol so your daughter is doing great at 9.

Great shots! Love the composition of the last one!! I'm amazed your daughter can run that far... I think I would die if I had to do that right now! That's so neat that you run together!

Val said...

They're all great. i do love it with the texture though

Margaret said...

These are absolutely wonderful shots! I really love that last one -- love the field in the background. My son and I do 5Ks together, too. He's way faster than me. (He's 15) I always feel good just to cross the finish line!
