So lucky @jakereiner caught my finish Chevron Houston Marathon the last two years on KPRC2 / Click2Houston! I needed the reminder of how happy those running endorphins make me at the end. It'll be worth it!! More worth it in the end than the cold will be at the beginning. To my 27,000 friends running - you got this!! #houhalf
