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.

Run The Woodlands 5K Web Site Updates

I've been home for a couple of days (as opposed to being in Albuquerque) so I've had the chance to churn out some additions to the web site. They are as follows:

The Woodlands 2-Fer Turkey Day: Over the past five years since the Run The Woodlands 5K Series has been in existence, three times has the Anadarko Run Thru The Woods 5M, which is on Thanksgiving, and Run The Woodlands 5K has fallen on the same weekend. This lists the 27 runners who have achieved that in either 2000, 2001 and 2004. Get ready! You have the chance to add your name to this link this November!

All-Time Winners: A listing of all of the event's winners (including Master's winners) plus the date of each race, the overall number of finishers broken down by men, women and first time finishers.

Top Times by Letters: A listing of the top times for both men and women by the first letter of runners' last names. Huntsville's Lindsey Tlustos and The Woodlands' Susi Zivanovic lowered the ladies "T" and "Z" times in last Saturday's race.

Most Consecutive Victories: Win 2 or more races in a row and you should be listed on a separate rewarding the achievement. It has happened 39 times with two people winning four (4) races in a row (Glenda Sanchez and Bill Schroeder) and four people winning three (3) races in a row (Craig Calmes, Jason Banes, Lisa Green and Susi Zivanovic.)

Largest Margin of Victory: Only nine (9) times has a race been won by 2 minutes or more. This link lists each one of them.

Enjoy! And remember, the next Run The Woodlands 5K is Saturday, August 27th at 8:00 a.m. We're calling on all Houston (and Gulf Coast area) running bloggers - the Houston Bloggers 5K (an event within the event) - to come out and participate -- well, readers can too!

And since I do the post-race writeup for the Series, bloggers who come out will have their blog's link on their name in the results!
