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.

Great Gateway to All US Marathons!

http://www.race360.com/marathon/results/

This is a well-done site that is also a gateway to all of the United States marathons! One of the first things that you'll notice is that the winning times of all of the marathons are put in order of the best finishing times.

Additionally, a chart with the number of finishers of all of the marathons and their respective increase or decrease of finishers from 2004 is noted. Here are the list of Texas marathons so far in 2005:

Houston Marathon -- 5,727 finishers, + 6.4 %
Freescale Marathon -- 4,967 finishers, - 5.2 %
Cowtown Marathon -- 647 finishers, + 33.5 %
The Big D Texas Marathon -- 420 finishers, - 30 %
Texas Marathon -- 114 finishers, - 11.6 %
Surfside Beach Marathon -- 62 finishers, inaugural

Missing, of course, are the following marathons: Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon (March), Marathon of the Great Southwest (Abilene, March) and the Grasslands Run Marathon (Decatur, March)
