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.

Cold in Connecticut!

After resting on my laurels from Saturday's run (and refereeing three basketball games at our church), I rested on Sunday. The next day, I flew to Hartford, Connecticut to start a week long business office assessment at a hospital in Torrington, about 45 miles west of the capital city.

On Tuesday, I went out to eat with my project team and ended up staying out until about 9:45 p.m. -- a little late to drive to West Hartford to go to a Bally's there.

Tonight, the same thing occurred as we didn't get back to the hotel until 9 p.m. However, I decided to go out in the 25 degrees weather and run 12:25 out (north of downtown) and 11:56 back -- a grand total of 24:19! I had no idea how far I ran; however, in that short period of time, I began to feel my toes get a little too cold!

Tomorrow, I'll try to make it to the Bally's early in the morning or late in the evening as I am running the Lake Houston YMCA Bridgfest 5K in Kingwood.
