Cindy- I was riding the exercise bike yesterday, turned my head to where the TV was on to CNN, and I saw Awakening. They were showing the move on CNN. They showed it loaded up on a truck and driving across a bridge over the Potomac. I'm glad I saw it when I did.
This seems like a much kinder gentler thread than the others and one I can keep up with too. Seeing as I met most of you at dinner in WDW and you were such awesomely nice people, I decided to come over and invade your thread. 
So this is where you are hiding now.I have a Nikon SLR and can help out with some of the settings, as long as you don't get too complex though.
Just let me know.

) and generally not in the stands. So if you can get to the end of the lane without being yelled at, that is a good spot. Also the on-board flash doesn't do very much when you are far away (>15 - 20 feet). 
for it to go away quickly and for the baby to be feeling better real soon. 
. Do you think she'd let you come run Philly with us
?!
There are a few of us who have already signed up and we have Anne coming with us.
Too funny!! We had pondered San Antonio R&R 1/2 as an alternative to Philly for our fall marathon on this threadSara -As for Philly, she probably would let me go but I am doing the Rock and Roll San Antonio marathon the week before so I will be recovering during the Philly one. You all could always come to San Antonio.
. We stuck with Philly due to geographically it being more economical for most of us to get to PA as opposed to TX.
I will guess the pool is indoors and has some sort of halogen lighting.
1. With that in mind I would probably only use 800. Even though the camera can go to 1600 and possibly 3200, the pictures most likely won't look as good.
2. If you are using the built in flash, it generally won't go continuously. Nor will it do it in the auto/green symbol mode. I guess there are too many things to adjust in the auto mode for it to snap them continuously.
As for hints, using the base camera and kit lens, keep the aperature as wide open as you can to let the most light in. I think the kit lens is 4 - 5.6 depending on the zoom. Next you want the shutter speed to be around 1/500th or so in order to freeze the motion. This combination may not be possible all the time.
You need to be as close to the pool as possible (not in it though
A lens with an f2.8 or f1.8 fixed aperature is really helpful but can sometimes cost more than the camera. The bigger external flash is also helpful and 2 that are master/slaved off of each other is better. However this isn't cheap but does result in better pictures when done right.
When shooting fast pictures, a monopod or tripod will help keep the operator movement/shaking from interfering with the pictures.
Generally when shooting continuous pictures, always get 3-4 pictures per button push. This way the probability of getting the "perfect" shot is higher and being digital it doesn't cost anything.
www.dpreview.com and www.fredmiranda.com also have forums where the experts give more hints and ideas.

. Talk about a step-back week! I did a little over 8 miles just for the heck of it.Not me sister! I just thought it would be sad if I just kept posting, having little conversations with myself.Where'd everybody go? Spending time on OTHER threads, are you...ARE YOU? HMPH!
.
Its not like I was adding mileage too quickly either . . .
Cindy- I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Feel free to share with your team. We're here for you. I know you've all given me so much support lately. Sorry to hear about your bad run too. That does sound odd. Chalk it up to a bad day, and move on. Hopefully it's just a one time thing.Finally, my instant email notifications are back!
I'm here, I've just kind of been having a rough time lately and I seem to have no time for anything, so I feel bad posting without responding to everyone.
I'll try to pop back in later today or maybe a bit later in the week.
As for my running. I skipped Friday's tempo run becuase of weather and because I just really didn't want to run it. I ran 14 yesterday. It was terrible. One of the worst runs I have ever had. And my legs were so sore and in so much pain last night that I got absolutely no sleep. I don't get it. The only other times my legs have hurt that much were after my 20 miler and after the MCM. How could 14 miles make me feel that bad?
Colleen - It will be the full, but I'm waiting until after my 20 mile LR this weekend to register just in case.
).
I decided to give my hip a try so I ran for a mile on the TM (in ~9:30), and then I did another 20 min on the exercise bike. My hip felt OK, it was a little stiff, and my legs felt kind of weak, but all and all it was OK. I could have run farther, but I didn't want to push it. Slow and steady, right?
!! Since y'all are posting about mostly non-running things, I'll join in . Actually, I was laying low because I managed to slam a steel door into my forehead on Sunday morning so I have a slight concussion now Who bends over while swinging the door open ? 
. . I hate to laugh but DH used to have the Dodge Caravan and I used to refer to it as his "middle-aged man mobile
." I bet the chicks are surely swarming your ride . Best of luck on your LR this weekend
.
. I hope the car holds out until you get a new one next year. I've been eyeing the Nissan Murano for a while and this morning I seeit got an excellent safety rating. . Just not much running going on so I feel strange posting about my lack of it. Don't get me wrong, lots of working out going on but just not racking up the miles. How about you? When's that Ultra?! Sorry to hear about the less than optimal 14 miler. Just listen to your body and get some rest
. With so much else going on maybe it is best not too push it with respect to mileage.
. Let's not forget the head injury . I'm kind of like the walking wounded and I am so sick of it. On a good note, I am okay with not being able to run long because I do love yoga, Pilates and Fluidity. I guess whatever keeps me sane will do
