Re: Houston runners

Oh, great info, Chuck, thanks!

BTW, can any of you Houstonians tell me, if I'm staying at the Courtyard Marriott downtown/convention center, is the Expo in walking distance? And how about the marathon start/finish? Just if you happen to know, I'd appreciate knowing.

Re: Houston runners
Definitely within walking distance IMO, it's like 7 blocks maybe? BUT, you could always take a cab and it's only 7 bucks I think anywhere within the Downtown Business District.

Re: Houston runners
Yep, you are not very far away. The expo and the start/finish are at the GRB convention Center. You are less than a mile probably.

Re: Houston runners

Gee, thanks for posting my goal. ****, now I am committed. I may have to drink less at St Arnold's. Nah.

For Nita: Start/Finish location is same as expo at the George R Brown convention center. I stayed at the Courtyard 2 years ago. It is a nice walk to the start, not too far. There was a parking lot directly across the street that cost less than the hotel lot, but that may have changed.

Obsess, obsess, obsess.....
