My poor Astros. They lost the World Series. They lost bad, but the put up a fight until the very end. But I still love them and will continue to support them. They've made it to one World Series, they can do it again!!
On another note, I leave for Washington, DC tonight. As soon as the final bell rings, I'm outta there! I have to race to IAH because the traffic is going to suck. I think I've packed everything, my iPod shuffle is charged, I have my supply of gels and first aid....
Keep me in your prayers Sunday morning! I begin at 8:45am (which means I'll be running ALL freakin' day... why can't it start earlier?).
Ciao.

Erica,
Best wishes in "beating the bridge".
Marine Corps was my first marathon ever last year and you are going to have great weather compared to last year. It got to the upper 70's with near Houston-like humidity. I hit the bridge in 4:02, but my quads cramped and I finished in 5:39.
Go easy on the hills in Rosslyn during the first couple of miles and that will save your legs on the back six miles.
The biggest mental challenge of that course is the bridge from 20 to 21.5. It is out in the open and there are very few spectators there.
