  We report observations of water masers around the semiregular variable RT
Virginis (RT Vir), which have been made with the Very Long Baseline Array
(VLBA) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) at five epochs, each
separated by three weeks of time. We detected about 60 maser features at each
epoch. Overall, 61 features, detected at least twice, were tracked by their
radial velocities and proper motions. The 3-D maser kinematics exhibited a
circumstellar envelope that is expanding roughly spherically with a velocity of
about 8 km/s. Asymmetries in both the spatial and velocity distributions of the
maser features were found in the envelope, but less significant than that found
in other semiregular variables. Systematic radial-velocity drifts of individual
maser features were found with amplitudes of <= 2 km/s/yr. For one maser
feature, we found a quadratic position shift with time along a straight line on
the sky. This apparent motion indicates an acceleration with an amplitude of 33
km/s/yr, implying the passage of a shock wave driven by the stellar pulsation
of RT Vir. The acceleration motion is likely seen only on the sky plane because
of a large velocity gradient formed in the accelerating maser region. We
estimated the distance to RT Vir to be about 220 pc on the basis of both the
statistical parallax and model-fitting methods for the maser kinematics.
