If You're A Slow Runner...

I have no running skills. The word "Fast" in fastcory.com is enormously sarcastic. "Fast" and "Cory" are polar opposites. Technically they shouldn't be in the same sentence together.

So....what I lack in running skills, I try to make up for in jumping skills. Here are a few photos from the recent St. George Marathon.

Around mile 20:


Crossing the marathon finish line. Mel said she wanted to jump across with me but ran out of energy so she jumped in her head:

  1. The second picture is really impressive because the camera is not super low on the ground. Look how high you got! You're waist high on Mel. You've got some serious hops!

  2. Honestly! I don't know how you do it, especially at the end? Don't you want to cut your legs off??

  8. I'm still learning how to get those legs up that high. My jump ends up being kinda horizontal instead of vertical. I have a marathon Sunday, I'm gonna give it a go!
