Never been to a marathon so I decided to check this one out. It started at 7:00 a.m. this morning. I got to the DT just before 6:00 a.m. and had time to walk about before the sun came out:

As I'm not originally from Houston, and don't know the DT area too good, I got lost. Actually, the pathway out and west was blocked because of the marathon. I found myself in the neighborhoods just west of DT and came across this little area:

Finally made it to I-59 South:

Came up upon the runners at the intersection of I-59 and 610 Loop heading north:

On I-10 west drove by the new medical office building at Memorial City:

And finally made it to my exit, with the new BP and other office buildings going up off in the distance of the Energy Corridor.
