You might in fact have bush beans, Duane. It's not that uncommon for bush beans to have substantial runners. Bush beans came about as selections from pole beans, as I understand it, and it wouldn't be that hard to talk them into being pole beans again. The Tendergreen bush beans I grow often have runners several feet long. Then there is a whole category of "half-runner" beans.
I've seen that type of leaf disease before, too. Don't know what it is. I don't think I ever actually lost a plant to it--they seemed to do okay despite a few leaves looking that way.
