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).

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.

Friday Night Workout

After not being on my best workout behavior this past week, I felt the need to get a solid two (2)-hour workout in at Bally's in The Woodlands this evening. (I know that it doesn't make sense with running a race in the morning, but I just feel better about my overall fitness by doing so.)

I went an hour on the elliptical trainer covering 4.98 miles with the setting on level 16, random and doing it without the sticks before going out to the truck, changing T-shirts and coming back in to rack up an hour on the stationery bike (level 7, random).

I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of our area bloggers in the morning at Run The Woodlands 5K #136 and am very much excited about Waverly doing her first 5K by herself. (Just a note: Dad here won't be disappointed if she finds it a bit more challenging than she expects and doesn't finish. She told me last weekend while travelling that she doesn't want me to run out to meet her, but to meet her at the entrance back to the parking lot at Barbara Bush Elementary.)
