I was just running along the course of the half marathon, in my own world, when I suddenly felt a tap on my arm. I looked next to me and I saw Katie, one of the track runners. She runs at more or less the same speed as me, so if she's there we very well might end up in the same little group. I was glad to see her! We had a little chat and then we parted ways again. All very unremarkable.
Then the race pictures were published. I looked at mine, and I saw that a race photographer had caught the whole interaction on film. And I initially had intended to buy two pictures; that’s £24. But four £30 you can buy up to 30 pictures. So I went with that! I thought it was funny to see me obliviously run along, and then my response when I realise she was there. I think she was focussed on running, and hence wasn't showing the same range of facial expressions. Judge for yourself! Here is the whole series…
