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.

Last Weekend's Racing Results

Results from the Polish Pickle Run in Bremond finally appeared this morning on Runner Triathlete News / Inside Texas Running; however, I'm personally PO'd that the Run The Woodlands 5K results from Saturday have not made it on there.

I e-mailed them to Lance Phegley Saturday night in a simple text format.

I certainly hope the reason on why they haven't been posted is because the results have always been housed at Running In The USA. The RTW 5K Series is no different than HARRA's Tour de Bayou, the Sunstroke Summer Stampede in Austin or the monthly races of the Plano Pacers, Carrollton Running Club or the Fort Worth Running Club.

I also hope that it is because that the event isn't taken seriously. Tell 2 of the top 4 runners in greater Houston that in Luis Armenteros and Gabriel Rodriguez.

Houston Striders' Karen Bowler on the women's Master's division in 20:25. Also representing the Striders with hardware were Karen's husband, Tim (2nd in 55-59, 24:29), Yong Collins (1st in 50-54, 22:44) and Marcella Paull (1st in 55-59, 23:16).

Seven Hills Running Club saw Melissa Broussard blazing her way to a 26:09 win in the women's Filly division. Hans Jaegar was third in the 55-59 age group with a time of 25:00 while True Cousins was third in the 70 & Over division with a time of 31:12.

Run The Woodlands regular and Houston Harriers member Russell Meyer was the top Clydesdale 40 and under finisher in a time of 19:05. Race director Ken Yanowski was the leading Clydesdale runner in a time of 17:42.
