Walpole's Heidi Westover tackles the Houston Marathon tomorrow morning along with more than 22,000 other top flight runners. (Since Heidi now lives in Walpole, the Walpolean editorial board has decided to claim her over Acworth where she grew up or North Charlestown where she teaches.) You can watch it live on www.universalsports.com and, if it works as the New York City Marathon did two months ago, you'll be able to follow the leaders with live TV pictures on your computer and follow any other runner on a live map of the course. To read a detailed preview of the race, see http://www.universalsports.com/news/article/newsid=390157.html#houston+marathon+ready+liftoff. If I read the schedule correctly, it comes on between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. our time. Go Heidi! Blow 'em away! CCB
