It may be because the camera is focusing on the wall behind you.
Do you have a sports mode where the camer automaticaly tracks objects? That way it might autofocus on you when you get in the frame.
The other way would be to put an object where your head will be in the shot, and let the camera focus on that and then get in its place for the shot
Look forward to the results Claire!

Yes - Azz is spot on... Focus on something the same distance from the camera as you will want to be... Activate the shutter, position the camera, and then run to get into the frame just in time... You'll have to be quick
