This past weekend, a buddy was co-organizing a local 5k/10k race in our town and he asked me to get some photos.  It was a first time doing photography for a foot race and was a lot of fun.  Since there was only one of me, I brought my road bike along and once the runners left the start line, I strapped on my big backpack full of camera gear and raced off to grab some shots at various parts of the course.
