Biegnij Warszawo Nocą z Legią - Run Warsaw at night with Legia

To celebrate Legia's 100th year in existence they organised a night run along with the "Run Warsaw" people. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of Legia for reasons I won't bother going into here, but the run went past our place, so I thought heck why not watch. At first we had the fun of watching the Police and Straż Miejska really badly organise traffic, it even got dangerous when a taxi driver became, or should I say proved, he is a complete arse and nearly ran over the Straż guy directing traffic and then driving away down the street he was told not to. I wish I had taken a photo of his car to have his numberplate. Hindsight. Anyway, then along came the runners, it was a balmy evening, so many people were feeling the last km where we stood.
Here come the first runners

striding and sweaty

First woman, but I was still working out my camera settings. Damn.






Getting good light balances now.



Then I decided to switch to B&W


Loving the pain.

Legia shirts old and new

Like wolves, in packs


The hair has lift off

Legia signs a plenty 

Got to love some leopard print

Just checking in with the security detail.


Loving the phone glow to light up his number

When a car surprises everyone by putting on their lights

cheeky grin

Shock!
This man is an advertising campaign

Happy birthday indeed.

Running makes me smile too.

It is hot work out there.


A pop of colour.... or two

clapping the supporters

zen like.




looks like meditation.

Kiss and run, instead of the ZTM kiss and ride campaign




a new perspective

getting creative

like an abstract painting

run my little blur run.

check out the mobile phones going past.

Warszawa PZU Maraton. The last marathon of the year.

So, being injured for 8 weeks means that I couldn't train to run the last race I had planned for the year, so now I will need to plan something else..... Instead I was able to take some photos and run the last 5km with a friend doing his first marathon. Even just pacing someone makes you feel part of the marathon, I love the energy and the support around the track is amazing.

A decent 10km time for most people, and there is a bunch of lads who have done 15km and have another 27km to run. Scary



It was a bit cold for this guy, needed gloves and beanie!




The first pacer group


looking content

The first of our WITC runners, well done Mark

Running has great colours now, and women's tights have the best patterns!

I have heard bananas are good for cramps....

get him Alan! Eat him before he beats you to the finish line

Plus an extra WITC member

high 10? 10 to go? Either way she was cruising.
I love how photos can tell you the joy of something, or not.


Someone spotted me, go Dan go!
It is nice when the runners clap the supporters back. :D


I am not sure the choice of rabbits is the best. Maybe the road runner would have been better

The MORT! girls getting in some kms before the interclub challenge

there are no limits to exercise, none.


The Batman villian, "The Scribbler"

International and bright.

This guy always makes me feel over dressed.

gravity vs hair, who will win
maybe there is too much wind here....

The WITC trio cruising


I love how photos of people running can sometimes make it look like they are salsa dancing


Gary "Jazz Hands" C.

I'd love to know the stat on "fives" given today



For some the challenge of a simple marathon really isn't enough, but how does he get a drink and a banana?

He isn't having a heart attack, but reaching for a low five.

Charge!

Batman utility belts are always popular, though I am not sure Aviators are fun to run in.
