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.

Congratulations to Waverly at PSIA District Meet!

No running this week, just brains!

My daughter, Waverly, 9, a 4th grader who attends Abercrombie Academy in Spring, finished 2nd and 4th, respectively, in "Art Smart" (or Art Memory) and Prose Interpretation Saturday afternoon at the PSIA District 11-12A meet held at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Crosby.

By finishing 2nd in "Art Smart" behind classmate Kyla Wilcher, who placed 1st at state last year in Ready Writing and 5th in Spelling, Waverly advances to the Private Schools Interscholastic Association's state competition in Fort Worth on Saturday, May 7th.

Waverly also advanced out of a preliminary round in Prose Interpretation to finish fourth overall in the finals. Only the top two at the district level in any event move on to the state competition.

Way to go, girl!
