Brightroom Photography, the official photographer of the 2009 SunTrust Richmond Marathon, has posted their pictures of the race.  If you’re searching for a Christmas, take a look over at Brightroom’s website.  I’m happy with most all of the pictures they managed to get, and any of them would make a great gift!  Unfortunately, those pictures are copyright and I can’t republish here.  Here’s one I do have permission to republish:

Bill and Greg after the race

That’s Bill Blevins and I.  Bill is my company’s resident marathon maniac.  He finished the Richmond Marathon in 4:02:28, which is extremely impressive.  Especially when you consider that just two weeks ago, he ran the New York Marathon in 4:21:01!  Two weeks!  He should still be doing recovery runs and he was out there running Richmond 19 minutes faster!  I know, very different courses and I shouldn’t compare the two times, but still, 19 minutes!  After I crossed the finish line Bill was waiting, looking cool as a cucumber like he’d only run an 8k.  I’ll definitely have to work harder in training next time if I want to catch him!
