The 15th running of the Ohio Health Capital City Half Marathon photographed Saturday, April 28, 2018 on the streets of Columbus and the Columbus Commons. It was a beautiful crisp morning for the race – a wonderful contrast on the previous years race which was called just after the first runners came in because of drenching and dangerous thunderstorm that moved thru the area. Once again I was in the Cap City Half Pace Truck with WBNS-TV‘s Dave Holmes doing live updates thru-out the race. I joke with people, that every year I finish first in the race because of this, without even breaking a sweat – LOL.
