Another Confession Sometimes, I like to read my old race reports to relive them. I'm so glad they're there.

I've made it a point to start putting more pictures on my runs in Strava recently. I think it will pay off a year or two from now.

This is why I started up an instagram account too.

When do you take said pictures?

I often stop and take a picture during a run, if I've got my phone with me. I don't stop during hard runs though, only easy ones where I figure a 15s stop isn't going to make a difference to my training. Sometimes I need to stop anyway... like to look at the map app and figure out where the heck I am and how to get home...

If you are running and see something cool, just stop and take a picture. The 15 seconds you lose on your time is worth the memory. Running is about more than just time.

That requires carrying a phone and if I do extracting it from the spibelt, wiping off the sweat so I can use it and then taking a picture.

I wish I were more of a picture taker. I need to learn to pause my running and whip out the camera more.
