14 Jan 2018 - Aramco Houston Half Marathon
When they say everything is bigger in Texas, believe them! On my birthday this year I ran the Aramco Houston Half marathon in Houston Texas and it was huge. The expo was huge, the race was huge and the finish area was huge. This was the 19th state I've completed a half marathon in and was by far the huge-est race I've run in. This race was especially fun for me since Julie (my wife), Tyler (stepson) and Abbey (Ty's girlfriend) were there to cheer me on. It was so cool that they made signs for me and were along the course at different spots to cheer me on. We stayed in a condo in the same building where Tyler and Abbey live. The picture above is the view from their condo. Incredible view of the city of Houston for sure! The Expo was held at the George R Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston. As I already said, both the convention center and the Expo were huge. There were over 100 vendors there offering all kinds of running goodies. Person
