Funny, I ran early morning last week and there were thousands of tiny rabbits playing in the woods where I was running - if only I'd had my camera.

Will make an effort next time so we can keep this thread going

I've started taking photos on my runs as well but I only have a crap iPhone camera so they dont look that great

Those photos are amazing! How the hell do you train for MDS? I've always wanted to do it!

hope to...

Beautiful Photos!

Agree with above, tell us more about MDS. My biggest fear would be getting lost, as I imagine I would be at the back. Massive incentive to keep going though!

Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing!!
Love the MDS ones aswell, looks like a unique insight!
How did you do in the MDS itself?

Very nice. The first set of pics almost makes me want to do my runs very early in the morning. Almost.

I don't often take a camera on a run, unless I'm on holiday. 4.5 miles continuous uphill run from my hotel the other week gets you a nice view over Sorrento and the Bay of Naples:

The MDS was the toughest thing I've ever done but an amazing experience.Unfortunately I was so badly dehydrated by day 4 that I had to have an IV drip to restore my fluid levels. It took eight bags of saline solution to get me back to normal levels by which time I'd missed the cut-off and had to pull out of the race - that's why there are no photos of me at the finish line!! But I'm planning to go back in 2012 to finish the unfinished business!

Nice pictures of Sorrento. We were there a few years ago. Did you visit Pompeii? What an incredible place - just like stepping back in time.

Chris - Pompei was the one place we didn't go to. Walked up Vesuvius, visited Capri, Positano... and had a fantastic run back to Sorrento from the Amalfi coast. Stunning. Good luck with MDS!

Right, that's me packing my camera on my next LSR.

Not sure they'll compare to the great ones already posted, but I've always thought I should take my camera to record the changing seasons, if nothing else.
