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.

Monday's Workout / Run

I need to start doing these earlier in the day. :) I went to Bally's at about 8:30 p.m. I got 30 minutes in on the elliptical trainer (level 14, random) before not feeling so well. (I think it was because I had dinner within the hour.)

I then did 24 minutes on the stationery bike (level 7, hill routine). Fairly easy, even with the hill routine, before venturing back to the elliptical trainer and getting in another 21 minutes and 40 seconds.

After being home for a little bit (less than an hour), I knocked out a 3.4-mile run in 38:45.27, a pace of 11:24 per mile (which would translate to a marathon of 4:58:30). I felt real, real sluggish through the first 23 minutes and then I thought things picked up, especially the last half mile or so which was on asphalt (vs. the concrete). I'll get two more workouts in before I shut it down for the week.
