The Longest Run

There are a lot of great places in Chatham for sunrises and sunsets. Here's the view of today's sunrise by the Chatham lighthouse: And here are two sunset pictures from Skaket Beach (our favorite beach among many great beaches in/near Chatham):

For some reason it seems the time-lapse video may not have come through the post in feed readers; if that's the case for you, here's a link to the live post: Time-Lapse Photography - Sunrise in Galveston

Here's a short time-lapse video I've made of a drop-dead gorgeous sunrise in Galveston, Texas. The video is comprised of about 285 separate pictures, each taken just a few seconds apart. To capture the sunrise I mounted my camera (Nikon D300 with a 12-24mm lens) on a tripod and attached a Nikon MC-36 Multi-Function Remote . I set the remote to shoot a picture every 4 seconds and then just stood back to watch the camera fire away. I then used Apple's iMovie to stitch the photos together. Enjoy!

Nice morning - full moon setting to the west, beautiful sunrise to the east. Off for some bird photography at San Luis Pass.

As I've settled into a regular training schedule, I've come to (slightly) dread Wednesday & Thursday, as Wednesday is speedwork day and Thursday is recovery day. Doing a run the day after speedwork is often a grind, but today was actually pretty good - largely because I was able to do the run outside on a clear, cold, beautiful morning.
