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.

Best of the Spring? No doubt, Sean Wade!

I was asked by a media source to provide some data that would support the contention that Sean Wade is the best road racer in Houston currently.

Here is what I came up (see if you agree!):

1/2/2005 - Rockets Run 5K - 1st place
1/16/2005 - Aramco Houston Half Marathon - 23rd place - 1:07:03
2/19/2005 - Park to Park 5-Mile Run - 1st place - 24:42
2/26/2005 - ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run 10K - 1st place - 31:30.5
3/12/2005 - Bayou City Classic 10K - 1st place - 31:46.7
4/2/2005 - Bellaire Trolley Run 5K - 1st place - 14:58.1
4/9/2005 - John J. Eikenburg 8K Fun Run - 1st place - 25:29.0
4/23/2005 - Houston Texans Running of the Bulls - 1st place - 15:20.2
4/30/2005 - Running for the Arts 5K - 1st place - 15:30
5/28/2005 - Astros Race for the Pennant 5K - 1st place - 15:22.8

9 for 9, outside of running against the best in the US in the Half Marathon!

Plus, right now, Sean has won the last three HARRA Runner of the Season (Spring 2004, Fall 2004 and Spring 2005) plus five of the last eight going back to the Fall of 2001.
