Only thing that will help after a big cup of dark roast is to lace up and light out. I have to go shoot some runners later (shoot as in photograph). So now is the time.

Contrary to some “expert” opinions, it is not to launch the body high into the air, or to wobble side-to-side, or to “bounce” up and down. At it’s most basic, the goal is simply forward movement of the body – preferably without hurting or damaging our body."
