Akron Roadrunner Half-Marathon
Incentive for running all summer finally arrived, a trip to Akron, Ohio for the Roadrunner Half-marathon.
1:45:38. The arms raised betrayed my last few slogging miles.
All clean, happy, well rested, more or less ignorant of what was in store. Our awesome hosts were Dwayne (Orange) and Ellen (red). Kids Will, Ben and Josie were still sleeping.

A nice bonus to the running and Akron visit was seeing Cleveland
We pretty much fit right in.
Two of my underperforming fantasy football players call this home. I stopped by for a pep talk but they weren't in.
Experiencing the biggest roller coaster park in the world, Cedar Point, was also pretty exciting for this guy. I'd been to Disneyland as a kid but never to a place like this.
Now I'm hoping my legs have another one in them this weekend.
