Here in Tulsa we had the Route 66 Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday. I didn’t run it. I hadn’t trained for it so like W’s dad H says “it wouldn’t be prudent” to run it. My brother Bob did. I wanted to see him off but we didn’t drive over together, I told him, “I’ll find ya.”
Ya right.
I got to Veteran’s Park, the starting point, and it was wall to wall people.
(I don’t see Brother Bob, do you?)
He was meeting some of his friends from California and I wanted to meet them. Oh well.
Next time I’m going to see if he’ll carry the Canadian flag, at least until the start. That’ll make it easy to find him. Right? So I thought that I would just watch the start.
When the motorcycle cops turn on the lights it means that the race is starting.
and here they came
Brother Bob is not in this picture either. I don’t think.
I did catch a glimpse of him actually but it was too late to get a photo.
I decided to walk over to Woodward Park. Get in front of him and get an action photo.
I found this guy.
Nope he isn’t Bob either. But look there are runners in this park.
Now there is a guy carrying the American flag. But its not Bob. You know something the guy is wearing an Arkansas t shirt. Some people are all worried about Obama not being an American citizen and all. You know something though, I worry about people who call hogs during a football game. Can they be real Americans? I don’t know, you tell me.
Here is my friend Darrell. He is a very cool guy. He hadn’t seen Bob either.
No that’s not Bob either. She is definitely better looking though. No offense Bob.
The Great Spirit hadn’t seen Bob either. Of course, I don’t think he really knew what Bob looked like.
So I walked back to Veterans Park. You know I thought about entering the race and walking. I’ve walked 14 to 15 miles geocaching before. I walked several miles looking for Bob.
Yeah well the crowd hadn’t thinned out. Oh well. Hey look a car show. I went and checked them out.
(I love car shows.)
I found a couple examples of really bad ideas in running clothing.
Hey wait a minute!
Hey Bob!!
It’s him!
Two hours, 15 minutes. Way to go Bob!! Where the heck have you been anyway.
Your post made me smile, I felt like I was right there!
Glad you found brother Bob.

We watched a news story on the marathon last night. I don’t think I saw Bob in it.
I’m glad you finally found Bob and I love that headband he’s wearing!
You definitely made me laugh this morning! Just what I needed! Glad you finally found Bob and I love his headband, too!! Have a great week!!

I am so relieved that you found brother Bob. I was getting a little worried especially after seeing someone’s azz barely covered up! Ewwww. Next time, you should be out there with ’em!
Loved this post. Thanks so much for visiting my blogs and leaving a message about the miners.
We still wait….
We still hope….
….we also fear.
lol
That was a great post Yogi 🙂
You will have to have a talk with that Bob of yours, fancy being so difficult to find…..
Fun post I think 3706 is pretty cute LOL
LOL…Alan my sister sent me a text that said “woooooooo pig souyeeeeeeeeee” or however you spell sue-EEEEE LOL
LOVED this post
I’m so glad you FINALLY found Bob. 🙂 (But you DID have a ton of fun looking for him, didn’t you?)
We’ve tried cell phones at events like this. The trouble is, it is so noisy you can’t hear them ring and even if you put them on vibrate you still can’t hear the guy on the other end. Glad you found Bob, he looks familiar.
Yay for Brother Bob!!! Glad you found him…I was beginning to think he was one of your imaginary friends!
And the dude in the red spanky pants…yeah, that’s not good. Not good at all.
I don’t know why it took you so long to find him–he was right there. You should have put your running shoes on.
Brave souls to run that thing. I can only run a short bit and I mean short. Great pictures.
I was quite worn out reading of your efforts to find Bob – do you think he might have been hiding from you? V. amusing post, you made my morning 🙂
Good for Bob. Finishing is winning. Hey, one guy dropped dead of a heart attack. The guy in the red skivvys was just keeping cool. You didn’t see him drop dead did you? Well there you go.
Funny post! Good for brother Bob!
I knew at least 6 friends in the race who have all posted their pics on facebook, didn’t see Bob in any of them though! lol
You had plenty of fun adventures while not finding Bob. Hope you had just as much fun after you found him!
