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.

A Houston Area 5K You May Never Hear About ....

I'm not posting this information to indicate that I support this event, it is just that my wife picked up this flyer at a Health Fair. It will be interesting to find out what kind of turnout that they have.

It is the 2nd annual Trot for TOMAGWA, to be held on Saturday, May 21, 2005 at 8:30 a.m. at The Heritage Retirement Community, 1221 Graham Drive, Tomball, TX 77375. The flyer states that "this event benefits TOMAGWA - a non-profit family practice clinic that provides quality healthcare to low-income families in the Tomball, Magnolia and Waller areas. This community event is a 3.1-mile run/walk for casual walkers, family fitness fans, and serious runners alike."

If you don't have the flyer, it is going to be tough to sign up. Registration fee is $25 up to May 16, 2005 and $30 after. Ouch! If you are interested in more information, you can contact them at: TOMAGWA, 13414 Medical Complex Drive, Suite 1, Tomball, TX 77375.

The Houston Striders that weekend will be hosting the 3rd annual Run With The Wolves 5K. I'll be in Corpus Christi participating in the Beach to Bay Relay with a group of Houston Striders (John and Ryan DiMarco, Juan Arrieta, Nicolas King and Jason Peterson).
