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.

Tuesday's Run

After taking a rest day on Monday, I drove down to Memorial Park to run today. I got there at about 9:15 a.m. and logged two (2) loops around the 2.9-mile path.

My quads were still a little tight from Sunday's King of Jester 5K in Austin. They felt like they did last July after I did the bike portion of the Webster Bicycle Duathlon in La Marque.

Mile 1 -- 10:05.07
Mile 2 -- 10:16.84
Mile 3 -- 9:20.53 (actually .9 miles)
Loop 1 -- 29:42.44 (10:14/mile)

Mile 1 -- 10:32.56
Mile 2 -- 10:26.85
Mile 3 -- 9:25.03 (actually .9 miles)
Loop 2 -- 30:24.44 (10:29/mile)

Overall -- 1:00:06.88 (10:22/mile)

Off to Philadelphia for work!

woah- i can't believe you did back to back races like that. I'm impressed!!! I would be so tired I'd never make it! That King of Jester sounds pretty cool though.

Hey Jon, you're right, that's me behind you in the Rodeo Run picture. Funny! They obviously got the shot early, since you finished 3+ minutes ahead of me. :) Now that I know what you look like, I will look for you at future races and introduce myself!
