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.

Two New Greater Houston Running Blogs!

I'd like to point out two (2) new Houston-area running blogs, one of which that Cassie Cowan pointed out in the comments of a recent post. [And they both picked out great Blogspot links!]

Jessica Alexander finally has her running blog, "Jessica, a Houston runner" at http://houstonrunner.blogspot.com/, up online with a race report from the "Toughest 10K in Texas" this past Saturday in Lampasas.

Another frequent visitor to this running blog is Holden Choi from The Woodlands. I had a chance to meet Holden and fellow Houston Strider Jeff Sharp from Porter, Texas this past Saturday at Run The Woodlands 5K #133. His new running blog is titled "Twenty Six Point Two: Running Towards A Marathon" and it can be found at http://woodlandsrunner.blogspot.com/.

(And the picture from the Run The Woodlands race on Holden's site was taken by my daughter, Waverly!)
