The Richmond Marathon tells Pokey that his left knee is not ready to run — maybe not for quite a while. Jay Bird offers local lodging and drop-off service for the race. Thank You, Sir!

Square Peg and Danger Man accompany Pokey for the first 9 miles, with frequent pauses to take pictures of murals in the Richmond Arts District. Pokey's knee problems increase, so he sends comrades on ahead and walks to the finish area, a bit past mile 16 of the course.

Richmond street drains feature lovely art. Pokey limps about the end zone, cheers runners and captures photos of his friends when they arrive. It's a lovely day, windy and brisk!
