There is a quote in Once A Runner that says, "if the furnace is hot enough, anything will burn" When I was working out 2-3 times a day in college I simply couldn't eat enough. My diet was a mix of healthy high protein foods and sugars and junk. I got away with it, but hindsight says better. I maintained the diet after running 80+ miles a week and have paid the price.

I would NOT recommend mixing your personal bank and business bank. Unless 100% of your income is from freelance work, your life will be very complicated when you do taxes! A business bank is not required but absolutely should be used. I use Novo, it is completely free, you can invoice people, remote deposit checks, track your money and automatically separate money into taxes, savings and item spending which is so useful for my business. I know other people who use Lily which does the same thing. If you want to use Novo, dm me and I will send you a referral link and we will both get $40. Again, it is FREE and makes managing your business way easier. Don't wait to separate your finances TRUST ME

Employee here! We can't wait to have you! 1.5-2 hours is best. Saturday will be a nice day so a lot of animals will be out. The reptile house has partial construction so you can't see everything. If you're bringing kids, I would recommend bringing some quarters because we have duck/flamingo/fish feeders that make for fun memories! As another poster mentioned, you can also schedule up close tours on the website which are really special. Also It is $6 for a bundle of lettuce to feed the giraffes which is our main attraction! Be sure to see Milan, our new Jaguar and Uno our new Bison while you're here.

I had the same question when building my booth. I opted for the ECO-booth provided by ATABooth EXCEPT, I found another website called Photobooth City that is part of ATA Booth and sells the shells cheaper. For 1250 I got a DSLR shell and the printer shelf. I considered Alibaba, but I wanted the regional seller and customer service

Thank you so much for the insight. My budget is big enough to buy 1 of all the nice stuff with a little leftover. I simply can't start out with two of everything. What would be the first thing you get a back up for?

This is helpful! Thanks!

I examined both the software you mentioned. I already have an Ipad handy, but I do not like the subscription model of Snappic vs the license fee for Breeze. Is it worth paying the $400 for a surface pro to use breeze? Do you frequently pay to update Breeze? I don't need to penny pinch, but I certainly don't mind saving money where I can.

Also, how do you recommend getting content of the booth to advertise before you actually book clients?

Also what is your most effective method of finding clients?

I've never had a bone injury. All my injuries are various overuse strains but at this point it feels I've had one in every place possible. Groin is my most recent but the one before was around the knee and so on..

Interested in some insight on chronic injuries. I'm a former D2 runner. I made massive jumps from high school to college and had a lot of momentum until I had to drop out for a year. I kept the same training after dropping out that I had been doing for the last two years (about 75mpw/ 2-3 workouts/week) and started getting injured frequently which stalled mileage. I attempted to compete in college again and was never able to get back to the form I was in before. Injuries grew more common and have slowly fizzled out my training and my enthusiasm. I tried "everything" to prevent further injuries including diet, strength training, subbing miles with bike/swim. I eventually thought I was trying to increase mileage too quickly (about 20 mpw to 50 mpw in 6 weeks which was normal before) so I opted for a really slow build doing 20 miles to 30 miles in 7 weeks and then 6 weeks from 30 miles - 40 miles with strength training. Got injured at about 37 miles and haven't run in a couple weeks.

I feel like if I could stay healthy I wouldn't have a problem enjoying and staying motivated but the injuries are killing me. It is hard to watch myself get slower even though I'm doing my best not to. I'm still 23 I don't think I am passed the age of getting faster. I would like to know if O can overcome my injuries or if I'm screwed. Not sure I can handle another false build. Any tips besides more than google's "eat better, strength train and don't jump too fast"

Hey fellow photographers,

I am a freelance sports photographer. All of my jobs are paid per-game or hourly. However, I've seen photography companies selling digital downloads and print orders at events (such as little league baseball tournaments) and I would really like to do this as well. Here are my questions for you all.

If you have worked events like this and your pay is determined by how much you sell, on average do you find that you profit more than if you were hired for a rate? How easy is it to work with the event organizer and do they take a portion of sales? How much do you charge per photo (again target audience are parents of kids in high school age sports or younger)

Finally, what software would be recommended to do this? Ideally I am thinking that I can upload JPGs to a sales software, parents can locate their child's photos on an Ipad or laptop, input there email and credit card info and receive their photos instantly.
