Houston Running: Insanity Sets In

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: WalkSports.com

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.

Insanity Sets In

I disconnected my hp scanner from my old desk top and connected it to my newer hp Pavilion laptop. After testing and finding out it worked just fine, I scanned all of my race bib numbers and uploaded them to my website, http://www.walksports.com/.

For example, the bib number from the Rockets Run on Sunday can be found at http://www.walksports.com/bibevent82.jpg (as it was the 82nd event that I've done in my two-year running career).

The rest of them can be found as links on the bib numbers on the respective yearly racing results pages.

Anonymous said...: how cool is that? I haven't kept all mine from last year's but I have my marathon one stashed in a drawer until my photos come in -- then they're all going in a frame with my medal. Very awesome to have 82 races behind you!
