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.

Thursday Night Workout

The workout wasn't long, but hopefully it was a little bit effective. I didn't workout last night at all. I was beat, tired and went to bed at 8:30 p.m. Mountain time (which is way early on any night for me)

After flying in from Albuquerque, on a Continental flight that had as one of its passengers the former Democratic Governor from Texas, Mark White, I got home, took care of a couple of things and went off to the Bally's in The Woodlands.

I got in my two sets of 12 calf rises (115 lbs., then 135 lbs.) before hammering away on the elliptical trainer for 50 minutes (level 15, without using the sticks, 4.64 miles). I was pleased. Could have gone longer, but the club closed at 10:00 p.m.

Busy day ahead tomorrow; however, good news for the weekend though: Waverly is going to go with me to Wharton on Saturday and Centerville on Monday. I enjoy when she comes along.
