The starting line up of the 25th Parkersburg Half-Marathon |
And my favorite fresh, ready-to-run runner! |
And they're off! |
A spirited pace at about mile 1.5. |
The group was headed up this bridge right after the turn in the photo above. |
This is about mile 10.5. He's coming... |
Getting a little closer. |
Climbing... |
He's going at it! You cannot see it, but about a quarter mile ahead of him is the favored Tim Horton's. That's where I spent my morning. |
The finish line! A welcome descent. |
Okay, the photographer is pretty bad. The post-race shot. |
Again, a photographer failure. This was a fun sprinkler set-up providing a gentle cool shower for the hot runners. |
The post race reward. |
We did a bit of shopping in West Virginia. |
Including supporting several collegiate and high school teams. |

Solid race!!! I love how you guys love West Virginia so much. Looks like they have quite a bit of the Texas goodies that you can't get in VA too...an added bonus. Oh, and I've been meaning to tell you guys that I *think* I read somewhere that Blue Bell is being sold in VA...somewhere...maybe sporadically or select towns/locations. Worth looking into further...if you haven't already of course. ;-)
I just met a friend of a friend of Ron's last weekend that lives and works in West Virginia...for a Exxon. He said it was absolutely a beautiful place to live and the weather is perfect.
