Men's Half-Marathon Quick Hits
Jan 12, 2013
ABC13.com has provided a live stream of the 2013 Chevron Houston Marathon. Both the Half-Marathon and Marathon will kick off at 7am CST on January 13th.
The flu has knocked out Meb Keflezighi from the Houston Half, so someone else has to lead the charge. The leading candidate may be Luke Puskedra, who has said that he’s ready to dip under the 61-minute mark this Sunday. He’s the youngest American in the field, but will he be the first guy from the U.S. of A. to cross the finish line?
Meb Keflezighi has unfortunately announced that he will not participate in the 2013 Houston Half-Marathon.

Whenever the phrase “world record” is mentioned, there’s a Pavlovian effect that permeates through the track and field community.

Houston Here I Come!
The American contingent at the Houston Half-Marathon is a classic “Old School versus New School” battle. Despite their stark differences, the tale of the tape between the top two competitors says it all.

I’ve been looking forward to doing this race for more than a year now. That seems pretty weird to say about any race besides an Olympic Trials race, but there is a reason behind that. I was originally scheduled to make my half marathon debut at this race last year. What better time to do it? So many of my teammates were preparing for the Marathon Trials in Houston the day before, so we would be able to do a lot of the same training together; and I thought it would be the perfect way to end my fall/winter schedule, then take a break and get ready for the Track Trials in late June. Well, long story short; I had some illness and injury issues in November that really negatively affected my training; so I didn’t feel I would be prepared to run a fast half-marathon in mid-January. Instead I decided to focus on US Cross Country, which I did mid-February and ended up getting second.
