Houston Marathon Draws 250 Thousand Spectators


Had a lot of fun today at the Houston Marathon. No, I didn't run but I watched as my brother-in-law crossed the finish line. The event was well planned, police everywhere helped keep order in the racing lanes. This was my first time attending this event and it was quite festive.

People of all shapes, sizes and ages participated in the race. It was quite motivating to say the least.


Should I consider it for next year? I'll have to start training now. Keeping away from the refrigerator will be the first order of business should I ever consider such an undertaking.

Have you ever participated in a race of this sorts? If so, let's hear from you.
