Houston Running: Congratulations Cassie Cowan!

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

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 ...

Congratulations Cassie Cowan!

Congratulations to fellow Houston blogger, Cassie Cowan, 26, of http://www.tiggsintexas.blogspot.com/, as she completed her first marathon earlier today, June 5th, in San Diego at the Coca Cola Zero Rock 'N' Roll Marathon in a time of 5:31:58 (gun time of 5:37:23).

The official results showed that Cassie got to the 10K point in 1:08:31 (perhaps a net of 1:03:06), the half way mark at 2:25:57 (possibly 2:20:32) and the 20-mile marker at 4:34:36 (4:29:11).

An employee, 39-year-old Amy Schum, of the client that I am doing work at in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Presbyterian Healthcare Services, finished her first marathon as well on Sunday in a net (chip) time of 6:06:34.
