My wife is the Marathon Runner.
Just finished her Second NYC Marathon 11/06/2016!!!
6 Marathons in 2 years. I'm in awe

Is Houston a fast course??
She's looking for a Boston qualifier in her age group

Baby sitting might be as hard as the actual race 😉, enjoy, my wife will be taking care of the kids so I can go and run, both of us will end the day equally tired :)

Houston is not a fast course, specially tomorrow , its going to be warm and humid , not the best conditions for a long race.

Was considering making the trek to Houston for the race. I have a few buddies in the area. Even had my chef working me toward the goal. Alas, work got in the way. Good luck this weekend.

Tucson Marathon in December is supposedly a fast course. Flat and downhill, one long straightaway. I've run the half there several times.

I ran in the 1985 Chicago marathon. I finished it in 3:55.

I was running ten miles a day back then for fun. My knees remind me of that every morning when I get out of bed.

Have a safe run guys.

3 of my colleagues just ran the Disney world Dopey challenge.
It's a 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full marathon. I think they all ran a 1 miler as well.
It looked like a lot of fun.
Have a great race.
