Why is there a Port-O-Potty outside our door?

...Because the 39th Annual Chevron Houston Marathon 2011 runs right by our rent house along Weslayan.

The front runners ran by around 8:00 a.m. this morning. I think this is the half way point in the route based on what I heard the spectators saying.

I went out around 8:30 and took a few pictures.


I love all the spectators who cheer the runners on. It is very motivating (I would know, since I ran/walked 9 miles of this marathon a few years back supporting my friend Amanda).


Reese and I went out and cheered, "Way to go!" "Keep it up you guys!" "Good luck!"



Matt and Lane watched from inside the dining room.



It reminded Matt of his marathon days. Hmm, maybe we'll be inspired to run a marathon one day!

The view at 9:00 a.m. The runners are coming by non-stop now.

As I sit here blogging, I can hear the spectators cheering the runners on. You just want to sit and watch them go by.
And that is the cool thing about living in this rent house...
