the runner by summerfield

the runner

went downtown today and to the waterfront. big mistake! it was so hot, if i wasn't by the water it would've been doubly so. as it was, i had heat exhaustion and almost fainted while waiting for the bus at the station. so embarrassing, i tell you. now i am told to stay home while the temps are crazy high.

this was taken at the end of my walk along the boardwalk before going home. i was lucky there was an empty bench underneath the shade of a large maple tree and just sat there, sweating like a dog. i wondered what this woman was about jogging in this heat! however, i like how the camera had captured her hair as she ran.

this is for week 30 of the 52-week challenge the theme of which is street photography.
Why anyone would want to run anywhere at anytime is beyond me.

Ugh. I only run if there's a soccer ball ahead of me or someone chasing me behind! But, more power to those who enjoy such masochism!

My son runs for fun, but in my book fun run is an oxymoron on steroids!

The ponytail makes this picture. Be careful and bring a bottle of water when you go out!

Don't you want a pony tail? Then maybe I'd run too to make it swing like that. Very nice capture of the movement.

I love her hair too. Be careful in the heat, it’s miserable here too!

Nice stop action to catch her hair in mid-swing! Take care of yourself and bring water next time!

Yes it was hot and I am happy to hear you found some shade. Fantastic action image! Fav!
