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.

First Photo to the Blog!

Good morning, I certainly hope all of you are enjoying the great weather (if you are in Houston, that is) before the rains get here mid-week.

I have been wanting to add a picture to the blog for awhile and just either didn't have the patience or was willing to take the time to do so.

That's me in the Texans shirt, sweatpants and baseball cap down the finishing stretch of the 24-Hour Fitness 4-Miler at the 2003 hp Houston Marathon.

I finished those 4 miles in just under 52 minutes. But check out the lady in blue behind me: She's walking with a baby in her arms! Heaven forbid that she covered the entire 4 miles with that child there! BUT, that is what 50 extra pounds was doing to me too!

I thought that everyone would get a good chuckle out of this as well as me conquering some small technological achievement!
