Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name:
Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Thursday's Run

I ran approximately 5.2-5.4 miles Thursday night while Waverly had Upward Basketball practice at our church, North Park Baptist Church. I ran from the church parking lot up to FM 1960 between the two schools, Teague Middle and Magrill Elementary, then across FM 1960 all the way to Aldine Westfield. That was 2 miles out and 2 miles back. Then I ran eight minutes up Theiss Road towards FM 1960 again and back to the front of the church. I measured it to be at least .6 miles in one direction, but it might have been another .2 of mile overall.

I felt a bit sluggish overall. Picked up the pace a little at the end and felt good about that. It was a little chilly out, but don't know if that bothered me so much. I think that I struggled mentally not seeing how that this run, in specific, was going to help me finish the hp Houston Marathon in a little more than 4 weeks.
