While on a recent business trip to Australia, my friend Ben and I decided to run the Sydney Half Marathon as a means to recover from the 14 hour plane ride.  We had a great time, finishing in 1:52:23 and negative-splitting for the second half.  Here are the low-resolution versions of our pictures :

Here's the blown-up scan of us running across the bridge :
