These are a few images from a package that ran in paper from an event called Covered Bridges Half Marathon. Essentially, a group of about 2,500 insanely athletic and motivated people get together and run a beautiful 13 mile course, that just happens to wind through a few old-school bridges. The winner finished in a time of about 1 hour, 14 minutes; which if you do the math equates to pace of about 5:40/mile...sustained for 13 miles!!! I've felt more motivated to get out and run since this stupendous display...
