The pictures from the Manhattan Half Marathon became available today. I was somewhat curious to get a look at them to see if I heel strike. It’s the first opportunity I’m getting to see pictures of myself running since I’ve been focused on my gait.
Although most of the picture show my foot already planted on the ground, and unable to tell how it landed, I did find two pictures worth examining. One of them took place during the middle of the race with my foot looking good in my opinion. The other very close towards the end of the race and obviously landing very hard on my heel. With that said, however, I was making a turn, running all out, and quite tired by that time.
While looking through all the pictures though, I did find some other interesting facts about my racing form. Apparently, I’m a chronic napper and I like to taking dancing breaks. See below…
 Around mile 7, not heel striking! - Good!!! |
 Heel Striking towards the end - Bad!!! |
 Catching a nap early on in the race |
 Napping again during the race |
Finished!! Time for another nap!
Taking a break during the race to do the cha-cha!
