The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Deji_01. Deji_01 took such a nice collection of Houston Marathon shots (which you can see here).

Houstonist knows how hard it can be to keep some of those well-meaning, but slightly impossible, New Year's resolutions (like losing 35 pounds or reading War and Peace), so we've drafted some ways our fair city can help you reach your goals.
