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.

While in Tennessee ...

I noticed central and west Tennessee runners have it nice this spring!

Last weekend, runners had a choice of doing either the 11th annual Tom King Half Marathon on Saturday in Nashville that starts and finishes in Titans Stadium or the Knoxville Marathon or Half Marathon. (Had I known early enough that I would have been staying over and not doing the Lucky Trails Half in Seabrook, I would have done one of these.)

Next weekend, Saturday, April 2nd, is the Andrew Jackson Marathon in you guessed it: Jackson! (They bill themselves as the Tennessee's oldest marathon!) If you register today, after the early registration, it is just $20 for the half marathon and $35 for the full marathon!

And at the end of the month, on Saturday, April 30th, runners can participate in the Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon in Nashville.
