Okay, so for all the throngs of you that would like to come out and cheer me on/drag me to the finish line, the host hotel for the Chevron Houston Marathon will once again be the Hilton Americas Hotel in downtown Houston. It is literally steps from the start and finish line and this is very important to me in case I am not able to walk when it's over.
The marathon website says hotel information will be posted on May 1st but I made a call today straight to the Hilton and they're already booking rooms with the special discount rate ($159). Once they post it online, the hotel will sell out, trust me, so if you are at all interested in coming out I would advise booking early (rest easy, they won't charge your credit card yet).
Many of you have have been so nice to support me in this crazy endeavor but keep in mind there's also a 5k run/walk that day that YOU can participate in to "Run for Landon" as well! I have done this and it's super fun (and you get free food when you finish!)...I encourage you all to give it a try! Need more incentive? If I indeed finish the half, there will be a celebratory victory party at Sprinkles Cupcakes afterward and you're all invited! And, yes, I fully intend on trying every cupcake in the store.
So, come on out, treat yourself to a night at the Hilton, and let's run/walk our butts off for a great cause! And then stuff ourselves with cupcakes!

Now you're talking my language! Count on dad and I to run/walk in the 5K for Landon, for sure. And if dad isn't interested in the victory cupcake afterwards, then I'll eat his share! Keep up the good work, we're so impressed with your progress so far!
