hp Houston Marathon Expo - Day 2
After watching my daughter, Waverly, play basketball this morning in our church's Upward Basketball program, I ventured to the west side of town to join a group of Houston Striders at the Old Pasta Company on Westheimer, between Kirkwood and Dairy Ashford.
I then headed into downtown to go to the Health & Fitness Expo one more day before Sunday's hp Houston Marathon.
I specifically was going for two things: 1.) to buy a technical running shirt that Brooks Running had and 2.) to meet Paula Robertson of Coppell with the "Love The Half" Challenge. Paula had indicated that she has approximately 175 participants for the inaugural 2004-2005 challenge. I spent quite a bit of time talking to her and Lewis George of Dallas. George puts on a number of events, including the White Rock Half. Houston Striders that are also doing the "Love The Half" Challenge besides myself as Pam Paling, Frank Halter, Loren and Judith Neufeld, Jack Rubalcalva and Lisa Ruthven.
Other people seen at the Expo on Saturday included a lot of folks that I mentioned in an earlier day's blog entry: Ken Johnson (full), Ann Leoni (full), Denise Van Kuiken (5k) and Debbie Tripp (half). Geoff Guenther (half), HARRA webmaster and fellow Strider, was there to pick up his race packet as were Striders Chris Boylan, Bryon Everson and Whitney La Rocca. Noah Matthews (half) was manning the HARRA booth with one of the HEB Texas 10K Challenge finishers Gail Sabanosh.
I also had a chance to talk with the folks that were manning the Marine Corps Marathon booth and shared with them my experiences from this year.
Well, the weather looks great for tomorrow! The wind is expected to be in the 10-15 mph range so I'm going with a long sleeve technical shirt topped by my Marine Corps Marathon race jacket.
Semper Fi! And getting ready to do my best in marathon #2!
